Since its release on HBO, House of the Dragon has been roaring with success. With only three episodes released till now, fans have gone crazy about it and called it a legendary Targaryen saga. Also, the first episode drew 9.986 million viewers on the launching night, breaking all of HBO’s records. Can you imagine what the remaining episode will do? Well, the prequel seems to have the power to succeed the Game of Thrones franchise. The fans have already started asking about the second installment of the show. And the most exciting rumor going on right now is that Henry Cavill will join the iconic series in season 2. Will the actor replace Matt Smith for Daemon Targaryen in House of the Dragon? What do fans wish?
Can Henry Cavill get the dangerous role of Daemon Targaryen in House of the Dragon?
Daemon Targaryen is one of the main characters in House of the Dragon, played by Matt Smith. He is the younger son of Prince Baelon Targaryen and a brother of King Viserys I Targaryen. He is depicted as a skilled warrior but considered a threat to the kingdom for his impulsiveness.
In a recent post shared on Twitter by House of the Dragon Source, it was stated: “Cavill being eyed for a role in season 2 of #HouseOfTheDragon
“
Now the question arises of what role would suit Henry Cavill the most. And is he the right fit for a rogue and unpredictable character like Daemon Targaryen? However, all his fans already know the answer because he is a talented actor. Moreover, we are currently seeing Cavill in armor and wielding a sword in the Netflix series The Witcher.
The golden-eyed and white-haired Geralt of Rivia would look exceptional in House Targaryen. Henry Cavill cannot stay away from any iconic role or movie as he has been cast in Man of Steel, Immortals, Enola Holmes, Justice League, etc.
Meanwhile, another potential reason is that the actor has taken the top seat on the contender list of 007. Viewers see him as the best man to become the successor of this legendary role of James Bond. Now let’s see what fans themselves have to say about him racking a massive role in House of the Dragon.

September 9, 2022 at 1:39 amWhy would they age down Daemon??? That makes no sense whatsoever. Matt Smith must stay, lots of other roles for Henry in HOtD

Henry Cavill should be seen much more often – everywhere. Now. <3

September 22, 2022 at 3:03 amHenry Cavil does a good job on the witcher, it suits his protector personality as a person I feel. But…I do not see him as a sociopath impulsive n dark character like Daemon.
Matt is perfect for the role, physically as he is slimer and he has this peculiar look of mistery, wild but determined character.
I am fan of both but yeah.. Matt is PURRFECT DAEMON!

October 19, 2022 at 5:42 amDo not replace. Smith is fabulous as Daemon Targaryen. Why swap out the role to Cavil. I can understand the replacement for the older Rhaena; which was actually what I wanted to see as her grown. The pouty little girl did not fit the adult role, and she and Smith as Daemon, make an unforgettable pair.Do not replace Smith with Cavil.
