In a recent interview with People during the Cannes Film Festival, the actor reacted to the House of the Dragon trailer. He recalled that Miguel Sapochnik, the showrunner of House of the Dragon directed some of the Game of Thrones episodes. This made him believe that the upcoming film will be ‘quite surreal’ to watch. He told the publication, via Screen Rant, “I know it’s probably going to be weird. Well, I’ve seen the trailer. It seems very familiar. Miguel [Sapochnik], who’s the showrunner, directed some of the big episodes in Game of Thrones. So, I have a feeling it’s going to be quite surreal to watch it.”
