Certainly hot-tempered and alleged to have a cruel streak, Prince Daemon is the younger brother of King Viserys I, the dithering monarch who’s death eventually triggers the infamous “Dance of the Dragons.” The Dance in question was a civil war that tore the Seven Kingdoms asunder when Viserys I decreed that his daughter and eldest surviving child, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, is his heir. Prince Daemon is described in HBO’s press material as a “peerless warrior and dagonrider possesses the true blood of the dragon.” But he was a little bit more complicated than his combat prowess or heritage might suggest. Also appearing in Edgar Wright’s upcoming Last Night in Soho and as Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh during the first two seasons of The Crown, Smith will make his Westeros entrance playing an entirely different type of prince. Perhaps the biggest name just added to the House of the Dragon cast is Matt Smith, aka the Eleventh Doctor on Doctor Who. So if you don’t mind peaking a little behind the curtain a little to look ahead at the wars to come, here are details about who each new cast member is playing, and what it means for House of the Dragon’s narrative… Matt Smith is Prince Daemon Targaryen
However, other than a brief mention of who the new cast members are playing-Daemon Targaryen, Alicent Hightower, and Rhaenyra Targaryen-not much in the initial press release blast is preparing you for the high stakes courtly intrigue that is to come. And it also feels a lot more tangible for fans looking on from the outside.
With the casting of Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, and Emma D’Arcy, significant pedigree has been added to the series, particularly for either Doctor Who or British Royal Family enthusiasts with regard to Smith.
The Game of Thrones prequel is heating up with three major lead additions to the House of the Dragon ensemble. This article MIGHT contain mild spoilers for House of the Dragon.
