The second season of Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon drops on HBO and Max in just over a month! To drum up hype, HBO is releasing a bunch of videos where cast members react to scenes from the first season. Today, it's Matt Smith (Daemon Targaryen) and Fabien Frankel's (Criston Cole) turns in the hot seat. Watch them watch below!
First up, the two of them watched the scene from the series premiere where Criston Cole defeats Daemon Targaryen during a tourney. "That's kind of how we got to know each other," Frankel said. Also apparently the morningstar that Frankel was wielding during this fight would "always hit me right in the genitals." Just FYI.
They also both make note of Milly Alcock's presence as a young Rhaenyra Targaryen.
They point out how Milly Alcock is Supergirl now. Smith: "Supergirl, yeah," Smith quips. "What a legend."
Next up, the pair watch the scene from Episode 2 where Daemon and Criston confront each other on the bridge at Dragonstone. Apparently Rhys Ifans (Otto Hightower) kept forgetting his lines. And finally, they watch the scene from Episode 5 where Criston Cole absolutely freaks out at Rhaenyra's wedding to Laenor Velaryon, while Daemon Targaryen shows off his new haircut. "I like the short hair," Smith said.
HBO has been putting up lots of House of the Dragon videos lately, all of it leading up to the season 2 premiere on Sunday, June 16. There's even been another actors-react-to-scenes video, this one with cast members Tom Glynn-Carney (Aegon Targaryen) and Ewan Mitchell (Aemond Targaryen) reacting to some of their finest moments from season 1:
We can expect this kind of thing to continue as we closer to the premiere date! Get ready for fire, blood and fun.
