Aegon’s Conquest (2025) – First Trailer | Henry Cavill
It’s been rumored that HBO could be expanding the Game of Thrones universe once again with a prequel film or series centered around Aegon I Targaryen’s legendary conquest of Westeros. There’s speculation that none other than Henry Cavill is being considered for the iconic dragon-riding conqueror.
With House of the Dragon continuing to explore the Targaryen civil war, many are wondering if HBO will ever tackle the origins of the dynasty. Aegon’s Conquest could tell the story of how Aegon, along with his sisters-turned-wives, Visenya and Rhaenys, united the Seven Kingdoms under the Targaryen banner. If pursued, the project could serve as a grand historical epic, featuring massive battles, political intrigue, and the power of Balerion the Black Dread.
The highly anticipated Aegon’s Conquest (2025), starring Henry Cavill as Aegon Targaryen, is considered one of the most ambitious projects in the fantasy genre. With a reported production budget of $250 million, the film is a massive undertaking, rivaling the scale of other epic series such as Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. The budget reflects the film’s grand vision, which includes spectacular battle scenes, intricate CGI dragons, and lavish set designs that bring the world of Westeros to life during Aegon’s legendary conquest. Early projections suggest that Aegon’s Conquest could generate a net income of more than $1 billion globally, making it a potential box office juggernaut. Analysts predict the film will dominate both domestic and international markets, thanks to its star-studded cast, including Henry Cavill, and the enduring popularity of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire universe.
The film’s success is also expected to boost the studio’s net worth, with merchandise, streaming rights and potential sequels contributing to its profits. If the film lives up to expectations, it could set a new benchmark for fantasy epics, cementing its place as a cultural phenomenon.
