Netflix boasts with full pride some of its top blockbuster hits of the year, for instance, the sci-fi thriller series, Stranger Things. Fans have imprinted the show so thoroughly in their conscious brains that sometimes, even other show characters appear identical to its cast. It seems as if the HBO hit, House of the Dragon cast members have stirred excitement among fantasy fans in this aspect.
You would be surprised to know that recently, fans of both shows have discovered some amazing similarities between the leading character, Aegon Targaryen, and a Stranger Things fan favorite. While one of them took to Twitter to express his views, others supported him with one cry.
Fans gush about the uncanny resemblance between a House of the Dragon character and a Stranger Things cast
Twitter has been flooded with fans talking about two of the most important characters of the shows who share a striking resemblance. The entire ballyhoo is around Finn Wolfhard’s Mike Wheeler from Stranger Things and Tom Glynn-Carney, the Dunkirk star who plays Aegon II Targaryen in House of the Dragon. According to some snaps released on social media, Finn looked uncannily similar to Aegon but just with a wig.
When The House of Dragon’s first episode was first aired on 22nd August 2022, fans even mistook Glynn for Mike until it was confirmed otherwise by the officials. The chisel-cut face, the long and the overall physique are some of the attributes that they follow. The thread on Twitter states, “Is it me, or does Finn Wolfhard look like Aegon.”

Finding it impossible not to see Finn Wolfhard with a long flowing white wig of hair when Aegon is on screen. My brain knows that it isn't him, but my eyes are not convinced! #HouseOfTheDragon
