After the underwhelming conclusion of Game of Thrones, many of us were prepared to bid farewell to the world of Westeros. However, House of the Dragon rekindled our interest, demonstrating that there was still vitality in the Game of Thrones universe. Excitingly, HBO has even more spin-offs in the pipeline for its premier fantasy series. This includes the prequel \u201cA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight,\u201d which is rumored to have commenced its search for a new cast for the Game of Thrones universe.<\/p>\n
While there hasn\u2019t been official confirmation yet (so it\u2019s wise to approach this news with a bit of skepticism), the evidence is compelling. According to fans on Twitter, HBO has purportedly issued a casting call for actors who seem uncannily like characters from the \u201cTales of Dunk and Egg,\u201d upon which \u201cA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms\u201d is based.<\/p>\n
The Twitter account @westerosies, now on X (formerly known as Twitter), relayed this casting call, highlighting the network\u2019s specific requirements. This included a young boy, aged 9-10, whose character possesses a \u201cneutral English accent\u201d and is described as \u201cwhite with blue\/green eyes and pale skin.\u201d<\/p>\n
Furthermore, they are looking for an actor standing at least 6\u20194 (quite tall indeed) to portray a robust soldier who is \u201cperceptive and thoughtful\u201d with \u201ca humble disposition.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s highly likely that the latter description pertains to Ser Duncan the Tall, often referred to as \u2018Dunk\u2019, while the former seems to be alluding to a young Aegon V Targaryen, known as \u2018Egg\u2019 \u2014 the central figures from George R. R. Martin\u2019s novelette. A Reddit user, u\/Dreamtrain, commented on a thread discussing the rumored casting, stating, \u201cYeah, those descriptions scream Aegon and Duncan the Tall.\u201d<\/p>\n
We\u2019re inclined to agree. After all, it\u2019s not every day that an HBO series requires a soldier of such towering stature. In the off chance that the esteemed network is developing another show with two characters coincidentally similar to Dunk and Egg, we\u2019d be quite surprised.<\/p>\n
Here are the comprehensive character descriptions:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. \u201cBoy \u2014 aged 9-10. Physically small, the character is wise beyond his years, confident and witty. He has a neutral English accent and is white with blue\/green eyes and pale skin. Must be under 4\u20196 and at least 9 years old by March 2024 for licensing.\u201d<\/p>\n 2. \u201cSoldier \u2014 aged 18-25. The soldier is very tall and physically strong. He has a humble disposition and is perceptive and thoughtful. Any ethnicity. Must be at least 6\u20194.\u201d<\/p>\n For now, all we can be certain of is that we\u2019ll have to wait for further information. However, the signs seem to point in favor of this exciting development, as none of the other spin-offs in development (The Sea Snake, Snow, Ten Thousand Ships, The Golden Empire) seem to align with these character descriptions. In the meantime, we can look forward to the second season of House of the Dragon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After the underwhelming conclusion of Game of Thrones, many of us were prepared to bid farewell to the world of\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":7319,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[68],"tags":[1013],"class_list":["post-7318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tv","tag-game-of-thrones"],"reading_time":"3 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7318"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7318\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
