LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The folklore of the Iron Throne is not going to stop anytime soon, as the imminent Dance of the Dragon will surely shake the foundation of House Targaryen in 'House of the Dragon.' Essentially, the power struggle is between the Green and Black factions, with the Black faction headed by Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy) and the Green by the likes of Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke), and her sons Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney), Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell). However, there is one key player whose name has been mentioned several times during Season 2, Daeron Targaryen.
Although he hasn't yet appeared in 'House of the Dragon,' the son of King Viserys I Targaryen (Paddy Considine) and Alicent has been referenced several times, mostly by his mother Alicent and his uncle Ser Gwayne Hightower (Freddie Fox). Nonetheless, it should be mentioned that Daeron Targaryen's role will most likely emerge in Season 3, for which the casting process is now ongoing. However, there have been rumors of fresh casting that have thrilled fans.
Who will play the character of Daeron Targaryen in 'House of the Dragon'?

The 23-year-old actor made his acting debut in 2016 with an episode of 'Jericho.' Gilby had already portrayed the character of Æthelstan in 'The Last Kingdom,' making him an ideal candidate for the role of Daeron in 'House of the Dragon.'

How will Daeron Targaryen's introduction affect 'House of the Draogn' Season 3?
The second season of 'House of the Dragon' had nothing going on other than some signature deaths, planning, and plotting, which may be seen as laying the groundwork for the impending war. With Aegon and Aemond in power, the Green faction is struggling, as evidenced by Alicent's visit to Rhaenyra in the Season 2 finale of 'House of the Dragon'. Daeron's introduction will be critical for the storyline to progress.
Fans may expect that the stakes will only become higher. After missing Daeron for most of Season 2, the conclusion finally shows the forgotten prince riding his dragon.
