<h2>Can Henry Cavill get the dangerous role of Daemon Targaryen in House of the Dragon?</h2>
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: &#8220;Cavill being eyed for a role in season 2 of <a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-3s2u2q r-qvutc0" role="link" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/HouseOfTheDragon?src=hashtag_click">#HouseOfTheDragon<img loading="lazy" class="r-4qtqp9 r-dflpy8 r-9cviqr r-zw8f10 r-10akycc r-h9hxbl lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-src="https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags/HBO_House_of_the_Dragon_Throne_Jul_2022/HBO_House_of_the_Dragon_Throne_Jul_2022.png" alt="" width="28" height="28" />&#8220;</a>

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 <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/">The Witcher</a>.

The golden-eyed and white-haired Geralt of Rivia would look exceptional in House Targaryen. <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-when-henry-cavill-turned-into-a-real-life-sherlock-holmes-and-revealed-secrets-about-social-media-stalking/">Henry Cavill</a> 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 <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-james-bond-getting-regency-fied-as-bridgerton-starlet-jonathan-bailey-joins-rege-jean-page-in-the-potential-list-of-007-actors/">contender list of 007</a>. Viewers see him as the best man to become the successor of this legendary role of James Bond. Now let&#8217;s see what fans themselves have to say about him racking a massive role in House of the Dragon.
