Westeros

Last month, news broke that Beau Willamon (House of Cards, Andor) was working on a Game of Thrones-related project, with speculation that it was related to Aegon the Conqueror and his conquest of the Seven Kingdoms. At CinemaCon 2026, where the studios present their upcoming films and slates to the press and exhibitors, Warner Brothers confirmed the news when it made a presentation related to its plans for “2027 and beyond”, where Variety reports that the working title Game of Thrones: Aegon’s Conquest was revealed.

As we noted last month, this does raise some questions about the project that Mattson Tomlin was working on, an Aegon the Conqueror TV series. It seems likely that that one has fallen on the wayside as WB has decided that a theatrical film better suits the subject matter.
