Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon stars cross over at London Comic Con
By Dan Selcke
The winter edition of London Comic Con went down over the past weekend, with guests like Doctor Who's Ncuti Gatwa and Good Omens' Michael Sheen in attendance. Also present were several actors from HBO's Game of Thrones spinoff series House of the Dragon: Clinton Liberty (Addam of Hull), Tom Bennett (Ulf White), Kieran Bew (Hugh Hammer) and Theo Nate (young Laenor Velaryon, from the first season).
Liberty, Bennet and Bew play the dragonseeds, peasants who have become dragon-riders after Rhaenyra Targaryen arranged for them to try their luck at mounting the riderless dragons on Dragonstone. (Would that the dozens of other people who took a swing at it had their kind of luck.) Clinton Liberty uploaded a picture of the whole House of the Dragon crew together at the con on his Instagram:
And Liberty didn't stop there. Also present at the con was Natalie Dormer, who played Queen Margaery Tyrell on Game of Thrones. He got a picture with her as well:
Since House of the Dragon is set well over 100 years before Game of Thrones, this might be as close to a crossover as we're ever gonna get.
And y'know what, we'll throw in a picture of Liberty with Michael Sheen while we're at it. Liberty was taking pics with everyone at this con:
Liberty will return as Addam in the third season of House of the Dragon whenever it comes to HBO and Max, probably sometime in 2024. Bew and Bennett will also be back as Ulf and Hugh, who are sure to cause all kinds of unholy ruckus now that they have dragons at their command. Laenor has peaced out of the story, so don't expect Theo Nate back. As for Dormer, she's gotten a steady stream of work after her time on Game of Thrones ended; her next projects include TV shows called White Lies and Inside No. 9 and a movie called Audrey's Children.
