Remember Aegon Targaryen, the burnt, bedridden king? The one everyone basically wrote off? Yeah, don't count him out just yet! House Of The Dragon star, Tom Glynn-Carney, dropped some pretty big hints about what's going down with King Aegon II Targaryen in the upcoming Season 3. Think "vengeance" and "focused," and you're on the right track!
Let's rewind a bit to the devastating events of Season 2. Poor Aegon was, let's just say, put through the ringer. He got a nasty burn from his own dragon and then had his kid killed. He basically became an afterthought after that. Meanwhile, his brother, Aemond, hopped on the Iron Throne with their dad's big Dragon, Vhagar, at his side. Pretty good setup for a new antagonist, right? Even Aegon's biggest ally, Larys Strong, seemed to be more focused on helping Aemond than him!
Even though everyone thought Aegon was done for, there was one person who never forgot him. Remember Larys, that creepy dude who always had something shady going on? Well, he had other plans for Aegon, and apparently, a sneaky little getaway planned with him.
What Larys is planning, well, that's shrouded in mystery but Glynn-Carney made it pretty clear that Season 3 will see a totally new side of King Aegon. No more burnt and defeated. Nope! Think cold, focused, and a real "take-no-prisoners" kinda attitude! Dude's got vengeance on his mind.
Don't think for a second that this Aegon fella is going to sit around and wait to get his crown back - not when he's got some pretty high-powered Dragon genes flowing in him! Everyone's been focusing on how powerful Vhagar is, but don't forget about Sunfyre. That's the name of Aegon's dragon that supposedly got toasted back in Season 2.
No spoilers here, but let's just say that's not the kind of thing that a vengeance-seeking Targaryen is going to let slip through their fingers without a fight. Who knows? Maybe he’s got another dragon or a very secret stash of magical eggs. Only time will tell! But when a dragon king is angry, watch out!
Things are already tense between Rhaenyra and Aemond, both with dragons that are hungry to take on the rest of the world. Now, we've got a vengeful King Aegon who's gonna be more dangerous than ever! That means the battle for the Iron Throne will just get a whole lot more intense and chaotic, like a giant, dragon-filled blender.
Honestly, we don’t know how this epic faceoff will go. Maybe he'll side with his sister against his brother, maybe he’ll go all out and try to get rid of everyone. But no matter what happens, one thing's certain, we're gonna have a front-row seat to one crazy, dramatic story!
Tom Glynn-Carney's teasers, especially when coupled with what happened at the end of season 2, show us that Aegon isn't some "out of the game" character. No way! This dude's got the power and the hunger to play for the Iron Throne once again, and you can bet he's going to be the source of even more madness when House Of The Dragon returns.
We are in for one wild ride with all the political backstabbing, betrayal, dragons, and of course, tons of awesome battles that come with it. Buckle up and get ready!
