Aegon's Conquest 'Game of Thrones' movie confirmed for '2027 and beyond' - Entertainment Weekly

"Game of Thrones" may have launched the careers of several A-list actors, but HBO's acclaimed fantasy series also featured plenty of well-known celebrities in smaller roles. Over the course of the show's eight seasons, a whole host of musicians, actors, and athletes all made their way to Westeros. Some of these stars appeared in very sneaky minor cameos; others had fairly significant roles, even if fans may not have recognized them at the time. In addition to these five names, this list will also shout out a few of the other notable faces that showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss enlisted for the hit series. (Notably, Benioff and Weiss themselves made a cameo appearance as a pair of wildlings in the fourth episode of the final season.)

Since 2022, Richard Fink has been a contributing writer at MovieWeb, working in news, features, list, and reviews. He previously was part of the news team at Screen Rant for two years. Even before Game of Thrones concluded its eight-season run in 2019, every major streaming platform was looking for its own answer to the hit HBO fantasy series. In the years since, plenty of high-budget fantasy shows have vied for the crown, including The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Dune: Prophecy, and the upcoming Harry Potter reboot. Even HBO couldn't let Game of Thrones go, so it turned it into a multi-series property with spin-offs like House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Netflix, however, might have the true challenger to Game of Thrones coming in 2027. The streamer has recruited an Academy Award-nominated filmmaker behind one of the past decade's biggest movies to reimagine a classic fantasy series for a new age. Netflix is so confident in its potential that it is breaking with the streamer's convention and giving the fantasy epic an exclusive theatrical release. The film in question is none other than Greta Gerwig's Narnia: The Magician's Nephew.
