HBO’s highly anticipated “Game of Thrones” prequel “House of the Dragon” has unveiled first look photos of the show’s cast in character. The photograph above features “Sound of Metal” and “Ready Player One” favorite Olivia Cooke opposite Rhys Ifans. Cooke stars as Alicent Hightower, the daughter of Hand of the King Otto Hightower. Alicent is described by HBO as “the most comely woman in the Seven Kingdoms. She was raised in the Red Keep, close to the king and his innermost circle, and possesses both a courtly grace and a keen political acumen.”
Ifans is playing Otto Hightower, the father of Cooke’s Alicent. Otto is the Hand of the King and “faithfully serves both his king and his realm. As the Hand sees it, the greatest threat to the realm is the king’s brother, Daemon, and his position as heir to the throne.”
