That Aegon's Conquest movie still a thing, has a new release date

Warner Bros. is set to release Game Of Thrones: Aegon's Conquest on June 1, 2029, according to Deadline. This feature film, produced by Paramount Skydance, will explore the conquest of the Seven Kingdoms by Aegon I Targaryen. The movie, directed by Owen Harris and based on a screenplay by Beau Willimon, aims to capture the essence of Aegon's rule, much to the delight of fans who may have missed George R.R.

Martin's Fire & Blood. The release date falls in June, a month that evokes the red sun of Dorne, a kingdom that fiercely resisted Aegon's conquest despite the might of his dragon, Balerion The Black Dread. While specific details about the film remain scarce, fans can start speculating about potential castings, including Aegon's sisters, Visenya and Rhaenys, along with other historical figures from Westerosi history, such as Princess Meria Martell, the "Yellow Toad" of Dorne.
