'House of the Dragon' Cast Debunks Fan Theories | Entertainment Weekly

What happens when the cast of ‘House of the Dragon’ comes face-to-face with the internet’s most unhinged fan theories? Chaos, laughter, and maybe even a few raised eyebrows. Emma D’Arcy (Rhaenyra Targaryen), Olivia Cooke (Alicent Hightower), Matt Smith (Daemon Targaryen), Tom Glynn-Carney (Aegon II Targaryen), Steve Toussaint (Corlys Velaryon), Ewan Mitchell (Aemond Targaryen), and Fabien Frankel (Ser Criston Cole) join EW to read and react to wild theories submitted by fans—and no topic is off limits.

From a potential secret romance between Alicent and Rhaenyra, to the idea that Daemon might become the Three-Eyed Raven, the cast weighs in with a mix of humor, curiosity, and genuine surprise. Other theories on the table include the Targaryens being genetically spliced with dragons (yes, really), a Grand Maester conspiracy to undermine the Targaryens from within, and a possible return for Laenor Velaryon. They even explore a theory where the iron shortage in King's Landing is why the Iron Throne looks different in ‘Game of Thrones.’
