The buzz around Westeros has hit a fever pitch with whispers that Charlie Gordon might be joining HBO's hit series, House Of The Dragon. For fans, this isn't just any casting rumor. Charlie Gordon, a gifted trans actor, could become a groundbreaking addition as it would be a monumental first: an openly trans man gracing this epic fantasy universe. Naturally, everyone awaits official word with baited breath.
For months, fans have been speculating about Gordon's possible involvement in House Of The Dragon. This frenzy reached new heights after Westerosies, a fan-favorite source on Game Of Thrones news, dropped some tantalizing tidbits on social media. Their cryptic post lit up X (formerly Twitter), and there's no turning back now as fans worldwide are on full alert.
If rumors are true, Charlie Gordon might just step in as Prince Daeron Targayren, also dubbed 'Daeron The Daring.' This Targayren scion could be a major player in season three's story arc. Fans know Daeron as Viserys I and Alicent Hightower's youngest son, and they've been dying - sometimes literally! - in anticipation as he enters The Dance Of The Dragons. This brutal Targayren civil war has fans eagerly hoping it becomes a reality.
Daeron's absence in earlier seasons left many scratching their heads. But now, with Gordon eyed as Daeron, excitement could hardly be higher. One Reddit enthusiast said it best: "Let's hope it's true. We've been waiting forever, right?"
It didn't take long before fans started buzzing about Gordon's possible casting. Some questioned if his youthful look fits Daeron's character. Others quickly defended his look, noting Daeron's described as young and fresh-faced in GOT lore. "It's a great match... better than expected from this crew," one supporter chimed in.
Behind all these debates, support pours in nonstop, recognizing how hard it often gets online. "The net can be harsh, more so with a trans actor joining in. But no doubt, he'll ace it as Daeron!" an optimistic commenter shared.
Charlie Gordon's no stranger in showbiz. Many will recall his role in 2022's Matilda: The Musical film adaptation. But he's also wowed audiences on stage with performances in West End's The School Of Rock and several UK theater gigs. His talent and passion have made him a favorite, and this possible House Of The Dragon casting only ramps up fans' excitement.
If confirmed, Gordon would join a growing roster featuring more queer talent. Emma D'Arcy, who identifies as non-binary, and trans actor Abigail Thorn, set possibly returning as Sharako Lohar, are part too. Plus, out-gay acting legend Sir Simon Russell Beale enriches a cast prioritizing diversity.
As production on House Of The Dragon's third season kicks off, fans can't wait till its 2026 arrival. Familiar faces like Matt Smith, Emma D'Arcy, and Olivia Cooke continue their roles while newcomers such as James Norton, portraying Ormund Hightower, mix things up. With every tidbit dropped, Charlie Gordon's possible addition only adds more spice and excitement.
