The trailer sees Smith return as Daemon Targaryen as D’Arcy and Cooke battle for the Iron Throne
“The Targaryen who sits on the Iron Throne is not just any king or queen. They are a protector of the realm,” Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (D’Arcy) can be heard pondering at the start of the trailer.
“Now I find myself in an impossible position,” Rhaenyra continues.
As King Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) approaches his throne, D’Arcy muses, “The enemy has usurped my throne.”
Rhaenyra looks at a collection of swords before swinging them confidently.
Meanwhile, during a tense meeting, King Aegon asks, casually pointing his blade at the others, “What are we going to do about it?”
“Proceed with caution,” Queen Alicent Hightower (Cooke) sternly advises.
“F**k dignity!” Aegon suddenly shouts, before adding in a cooler tone, “I want revenge.”
As soldiers prepare for battle, Daemon is seen musing, “I didn’t think they would want to die so much.”
