The move signals Warner Bros.' push to take the fantasy saga into theaters with a large-scale tentpole.

Overview

  • Warner Bros. showed the working title Game of Thrones: Aegon’s Conquest during its CinemaCon presentation in Las Vegas on Tuesday in a reel for “2027 and beyond.”
  • The film focuses on Aegon I Targaryen, the conqueror from George R.R. Martin’s lore, drawing on the Fire and Blood history of Westeros.
  • Beau Willimon is writing the screenplay, and there is no director, cast, or release date announced yet.
  • This is the franchise’s first planned theatrical feature after recent TV entries such as House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
