@@XLjackbotHe's too old to play Dunk or Aegon the Conqueror, the Dunk and Egg 1st Season's production probably won't start until later next year at the earliest and Skarsgard would be closer to 50 by the time the series is over (assuming the show will be 3 seasons). That problem only magnifies if he were to be Aegon the 1st, since that show isn't officially greenlit yet at least. If only he was about 10-15 years younger I'd also think he could be a great Aegon the Conqueror
Hey and he will be negative 200 years old so it would really fit in. Do you know how to read? It is amount a Dunk and Egg show not a sequal to Game of Thrones

They did it with both shows so far, got a handful of known actors in supporting roles and then relatively unknowns for the main principal cast with a couple exceptions. (Like Lena Heady, Sean Bean and Matt Smith, Rhys Ifans) even with them, they weren’t being given the recognition they deserved for the most part. There’s no reason they would create the issue themselves that they had with game of thrones, in the first season, cast wages, it’s why there are only 3 known actors in HoD compared to a good dozen of GoT, I’d be very surprised if there are more than 2 known names in the cast, lead and supporting, if there is, we know we will be getting very few seasons of it.
I am actually looking forward to this because its the first time we will see many parts of westeros upclose like Dorne. Duncan and Egg travel through dorne from the princes pass through to vaith and straight to planky town.
The guy who plays chewbacca in the new movies would be a great option, i believe he is closer to 7 feet than 6.5 and he still looks relatively young. no idea how good he is as an actor due to knowing him through star wars but if it works, it could work
OK man this sounds great but I have to admit I would really want to see a pre-Game of Thrones show with young Ned in young Robert do you know before Leanna was kidnapped and shows them at the trident Ned at the tower of joy, the Greyjoy rebellion that would be cool.
Unfortunately he’s too old. He’s in his 40s, while Dunks meant to be around 17-19 at the start, even if they age him up like they did with the kids on GOT, it’ll likley only be into his 20s, tho tbh I don’t think they will age dunk up, since he’s already an adult by the start of his story, unlike the stark kids and Danaerys. Maybe if they do time skips in later seasons to when Dunk is in the kings guard, they could bring him in as dunk at the height of his career, but for the first few seasons, it’ll definitely be a younger actor
Oh OK I see they put the 3 together for a knight of the 7 kingdoms. The first and last . The middle story was ok . He should write more. They will add more in the series if they do a good job and the fans make it a favorite. I still haven't seen a single episode of house of the dragon but it's better this way so I can binge watch all of it lol. What was your favorite?
He’s too old. Maybe if they do time skips in later seasons to when Dunk is in the kings guard, but for the first season and if the show is successful, 2nd and 3rd seasons he wouldn’t really fit for a 17-20 year old Dunk.
Stick with a young actor maybe inexperienced actor, but the ensemble cast would be some heavy hitters. Think more of Brynden Rivers and the lord's he meets along the way.
I gotta agree with the people saying Jacob Elordi, he looks 100% like what I imagine Dunk looking like, he's also tall and from what people say, he's a good actor. There's also Armie Hammer, but I think he's too old for the role.
I love how majority of us think the same thing, because I really do think that they need to pull an actor from literally out of nowhere and get him to Dunk
The dutch giant Olivier richters. Hes got the size and physique. Hes had some acting experience. Idk about being able to showcaee how he can protray being 18 years old, but hes him in terms of physique and height.
Make it an anime or cgi animated series like the movie beowolf!!! You can save costs by having Harry Loyd voice all the characters like in the audio book
Ian Whyte (he's 7ft tall and is famous for being the predators in the Alien vs. Predator film series. that or Olivier Richters also tall but looks for strong both good picks)
depending on if tv magic or his own look makes him seem young or tall enough again Id say alexander ludwig really liked him in vikings and you imagine from that show that the action scenes would be in his wheel house
if he can do the accent, they should get the guy who plays magic johnson on the hbo lakers show witb john c reilly (and honestly john c reilly would prolly make a great aegon the unworthy now that i think about it lol)

He’d totally pass for 20-ish And it’s not like dunk was represented as under-developed or something. Dudes 7 feet tall and jacked af. Ludwig would work just fine.
the tough part is that there is very very little amount of human being even close to 7 feet tall AND muscular. Putting on weight with an even 6’ 4” + height can be tough
They should cast Caroline Henderson. She really played the role of Haakon the good very well in Vikings Valhalla! Historically accurate and great. Would love to see her play Duncan the tall. (Before a war starts in the comments, im joking y´all)
One name immediately pops into my head...Shaq. Ok, alright, I already hear some of you already saying he's a basketball player and not an actor. I implore you however to watch the two masterpieces of cinematic excellence called Shazaam and Steel and then tell me he's not an amazing actor. Backup choice would have to be Vince Vaughn as Ser Duncan the tall and Owen Wilson as Egg. (Might have oversold that joke a bit. Lol)

They'll cast a 5'10 to 6'0 actor and everyone else will be 5-0 to 5'6
I’d be vexed like none other they do that dumb shit!! Has to be someone very tall because Dunk has towered over others his whole life.
They'll definitely do that, or they'll cast somebody that's tall but too bulky, The Rock for example...

Alexander Ludwig, he's tall enough, only 30 looks young and can appear very friendly
Yeah I can totally see it. They'd just need to give him shoe lifts or do a few camera tricks. Everyone is suggesting actors in their late 40's lol
What he’s way too short. Dunk is like 19 and almost seven feet. Ludwig is too old and much too short. Not a chance
Alexander ludwig

Only one man for this. Boban Marjanović
Too old
The actor should be good, making him tall is not a difficult task
It can be done with CGI or camera tricks like they did in LOTR
I don't think they'll use the camera trick. But they probably will just try to find a good young actor who is like 6'3 and above
