Game of Thrones Is Heading to Theatres in 2029 With Aegon’s Conquest

Westeros is heading to the big screen. Warner Bros. has scheduled Game of Thrones: Aegon’s Conquest for June 1, 2029, marking the franchise’s first feature film. Owen Harris, whose work includes A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, will direct, with Andor writer and House of Cards creator Beau Willimon handling the screenplay.

The film will take audiences roughly 300 years before Game of Thrones, exploring Aegon I Targaryen’s campaign to bring Westeros under his rule. Alongside his sister-wives, Visenya and Rhaenys, and their dragons, Aegon established the dynasty whose legacy runs throughout the franchise.

For viewers familiar with the Targaryens through House of the Dragon, this offers a chance to explore how the family’s reign began. It is also a story with plenty of potential for a theatrical adaptation, where the scale of its battles and dragons could make the cinema setting particularly fitting.

Detailed plot information remains under wraps, and no cast or production start date has been announced. For now, the release date and creative team give fans their clearest picture yet of the franchise’s move into cinemas.
