    The quartet joins Olivia Cooke, Matt Smith, and Paddy Considine, among others in George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood adaptation, set 300 years before the events of “Game of Thrones”.
    The series will tell the story of House Targaryen – the ancestors of Emilia Clarke’s “Game of Thrones” character, Daenerys Targaryen.

    Ifans has been cast as Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King, while Toussaint replaces Danny Sapani as Lord Corlys Velaryon, aka The Sea Snake, and Best will portray Princess Rhaenys Velaryon, Lord Corlys’ wife.
    Production on “House of the Dragon” will begin in April (21) and air in 2022.
    Paddy Considine will play King Viserys Targaryen who “is chosen by the lords of Westeros to succeed the Old King, Jaehaerys Targaryen, at the Great Council at Harrenhal.” He is described as “a warm, kind, and decent man, Viserys only wishes to carry forward his grandfather’s legacy. But good men do not necessarily make for great kings.”
    The members of the Targaryen clan include Princess Rhaenyra, King Viserys’ chosen heir and a dragon rider who grew up expecting to become the first ruling Queen of Westeros. Her stepmother, Queen Alicent, is Viserys’ second wife who has three children of her own with the king including Aegon II Targaryen. There is also Rhaenyra’s uncle Prince Daemon Targaryen.

      Rod Stewart Would Love to See Rhys Ifans Play Him in Biopic

      The ‘Maggie May’ singer says the actor who once dated his daughter will be a perfect choice to play him if a movie about his life and career is ever being made.
      May 17, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Rod Stewart wants his daughter Kimberly’s ex, actor Rhys Ifans, to play him in his own biopic.
      The British rocker is keen on seeing his life depicted in celluloid after witnessing the success of movies about fellow ’70s stars Elton John and Freddie Mercury.
      And if a film does make it to the big screen, the “Maggie May” hitmaker, 75 believes Rhys, 52, who had an on-off relationship with Kimberly, 40, more than a decade ago, would be perfect for the role – so long as he has the right haircut.
      “Rhys would be a very good idea. (But) he has got to do something with his barnet (hair),” Rod tells BBC Radio 2.
      The musician also floated the idea of his son Alastair, 14, playing him in younger scenes due to having a “remarkable similarity” in their looks.
      Speaking about his hopes for a biopic, Rod adds, “If it does not happen it does not matter but I would be ­flattered if it did. But I tell you what, the Freddie Mercury one was so good. It was rock and roll. It would be hard to get ­something better than that but I would give it a shot.”
      The rock legend is also desperate to get back on the road when the Covid-19 crisis passes.
      “I miss work. I am itching to get back,” he says. “I keep in contact with the band and they keep saying, ‘See you at the ­soundcheck.’ But we don’t know when that is going to be.”
