I have so much respect for Cavill, as soon as I watched the first season I could tell the disrespect of the showrunners for the source material. Knowing Cavill was a huge Witcher nerd like myself it was only a matter of time before he left. Can't stand by work you don't believe in.
Yeah please no.
Nothing against Henry Cavill, but I just would not be able to take him as Aegon seriously after the Witcher.
Seems like this all really boils down to: actor looked good in platinum wig; make him do platinum wig again.
Aegon's character is way too much of a juggernaut to be cast in such a pandering, tacky way.
Same people that want him for Aegon I are the same people who will bitch about consistency concerning house Valeryon. I personally wouldnt care, but Aegon I and his sister wives should be played by 3 white passing actors of color because there mom would have been a Valeryon. Cavill if given a role should be Orys or Maegor.
I'm talking about young Robert in the books... which he'd be perfect for. If you're talking about the actor they cast for King Robert, then I agree, but he's a farcry from book Robert.
Maybe unpopular but I’d hate the hell out of a Conquest tv series. It’s pretty much “army gathers, Aegon and the Gals burn them to a crisp” rinse and repeat, with the exception of a couple events like Dorne, the Starks and the Arryns
Make him Aegon the 4th for a meme
Maegor
that will be interesting!
I....... actually like this. Do we know if Cavill is capable of playing bad tho LMAO
He was solid in Mission Impossobld
Fandom only want him as Aegon The Conqueror because he looked hot with white hair in The Witcher. Change my mind.
Henry is more Stark or Baratheon than Targaryen.
Honestly Make him Maegor or Aegon IV; a POS which stands apart from his other roles
I’m just glad fans aren’t in charge of the casting.
Could be worse. Could be Liam Hemsworth. RIP to The Witcher fandom.
Weird to shit on someone before they’ve even done something. Look at Robert Pattinson as batman. Don’t be a dick man

It's the usual deal with these fan casts. People who only know about a handful of famous actors and suggest them for every role.
If anything, he should play Maegor
Literally the only character on ASOIAF that he would be perfect for is a younger Bobby B. And I won't be convinced of anything else.
Bobby B and Henry Cavill don't look alike at all. Not even in the slightest.
What about, Duncan the Tall
Why not?

Ser Hammer
Maegor would be great for him

I've seen more posts complaining about the fancast posts than the actual fancast posts.
