The tweet stated that the prequel will revolve around the house Targaryen. The tweet also stated that ‘House of Dragon’ might be the tentative name of the upcoming show. It will be fun to see whom the makers cast in the leading role. In the Game of Thrones series, Welsch actor Wilf Scolding was cast for the role of Rhaegar Targaryen, while the role of his secret wife Lyanna Stark was played by Irish Italian actor Aisling Franciosi. Will it be safe to think that the two will be a part of the upcoming movie as well?
