Dragon House Episode 1 ended with a mandatory preview trailer for Season 1, detailing how King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine)’s decision to defy tradition to name Princess Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock) as his heir would spark conflict within the King’s court, the kingdom, and the Targaryen family. Fans may not have put two or two together in the flash reel, but the first season preview trailer definitely reveals Rainera at two distinctly different ages in her life, played by two different actresses.

It wasn’t a secret: Actress Emma Darcy was publicly promoted as the older Rainera on the marketing and press tour for… Dragon Housewhich definitely indicates that she had more screen time in Season 1 compared to Alcock.

Concurrently with Rhaenyra played by a different, older actress, Lady Alicent Hightower will also be recast. Emily Curry played Aliscent Dragon House Episode 1, But Olivia Cooke (Ready player oneThe older Aliscent will play.

Why Dragon House Reworking the main characters during the season? Leap time is the answer.

Some of the biggest developments in Dragon House It won’t be dragons and fights – but weddings, funerals, and births within the Targaryen family over the years. All of this is foretold in the premiere, with marriages, birth and/or death being key elements to motivating the plot, as well as reminding fans of Game of Thrones of the chess-like moves that main characters must consider as they gain or maintain power and position.

In this sense, the challenges Rhaenyra will face as the chosen heiress will only fully begin when a woman is mature and has to fight the “battle” on two fronts: the battlefield and the birthing bed (as her mother warned). It is very necessary to move in time between the younger Rhaenyra and an older version of the character. The same goes for Aliscent, whose adult life will bring similar feminine obligations and challenges.

Why does House of the Dragon need new actresses for Rhaenyra & Alicent?

Apart from the obvious narrative advantage of showing the progression of time and maturity in the two characters:

Game thrones One of the biggest goals when it comes to re-examining how Hollywood exploits free nudity and sex was that stars like Emilia Clarke didn’t feel completely comfortable with some of the early sex scenes featuring her character when she was in her early twenties.

That’s all there is to say: perhaps millions of fans are delighted with the young actresses who play Rhinera Targaryen and Aliscent Hightower in Dragon House Episode 1. However, no one necessarily needs to see the same young actresses take on some of the more overt moments (violent or sexual) in which these characters will almost certainly be involved. Yes, Millie Alcock is 22, and Emily Carey is 19 – but it’s also clear that they’re playing at a much younger age than their roles in Dragon Houseso … hence the paraphrasing for the sake of clarity and convenience for all.
