The film, directed by Owen Harris and written by Beau Willimon, will focus on Aegon I Targaryen, known as Aegon the Conqueror, and his conquest of Westeros.
Based on George R.R. Martin's 'Fire & Blood,' the movie will depict Aegon and his sister-wives, Visenya and Rhaenys, as they establish the Targaryen dynasty.

While the news is not entirely new, it is the first official confirmation of the film's title and release date, providing clarity for fans.
The movie's setting, 300 years before the events of 'Game of Thrones' and 100 years before 'House of the Dragon,' offers a fresh perspective on the Targaryen dynasty's origins.
Fans will have to wait until 2029 for 'Aegon's Conquest,' but they can enjoy 'House of the Dragon' and 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' in the meantime.
The film's release is a testament to the enduring popularity of the 'Game of Thrones' universe, which has captivated audiences for over a decade.

- Paramount will inherit at least 40 Warner Bros theatrical releases on the calendar dated between October 2 this year and into 2029.
- Officially story details haven’t been revealed, but the title of the film points to Aegon I Targaryen, a.k.a.
- Aegon the Conqueror, who flew his forces on dragonback from Old Valyria to conquer and unite the kingdoms of Westeros.
- The release date continues HBO’s mission of giving viewers at least one Game of Thrones project a year.

- The warrior sister, and also older sister-wife of Aegon I.
- The studio confirmed the title at CinemaCon earlier this year for the feature project that centers on King Aegon I Targaryen’s conquest of Westeros.
