- Back in 2024, Warner Bros. quietly began developing a feature film set in George R.R. Martin's Westeros, with screenwriter Beau Willimon submitting an initial draft executives received positively; reporters say it will focus on Aegon I Targaryen's conquest.

- Two competing Aegon projects are reportedly in the works, with Kit Harington, actor , saying the Jon Snow sequel is 'Currently, it's off the table, because we all couldn't find the right story to tell that we were all excited about enough'.
