The House of the Dragon season 3 finale has made a big lore change to Alys Rivers – and it might mean she could show up in the Aegon's Conquest movie.
Warning, the following contains major spoilers for House of the Dragon season 3, episode 8! Turn back now if you're not up to date!
In the episode, Alys is revealed to actually be the wife of Harrenhal's original owner Harren, making her hundreds of years old. She was cursed to immortality after attempting to save the life of her son, who was burned by Balerion during Aegon's Conquest.
"ALYS WIFE OF HARREN THE BLACK? ALYS IN THE AEGON THE CONQUEROR MOVIE MAYBE???? Genuinely such a cool idea and origin point for the character" says one fan on Twitter.
An Aegon's Conquest movie is indeed at the works at Warner Bros., from Andor writer Beau Willimon.
In George R.R. Martin's Fire and Blood, Alys does not have this same backstory, and she is instead a mysterious bastard of House Strong. While she is noted as looking strangely young, she has no connection to Harren.
"Perfect example of deviating from the source material and it actually enriches the story," says another fan.
"I'm 50/50 on this. Sometimes the answer to the mystery isn't as good as the mystery. This is one of those I believe. Beautiful scene. I just need to sit with this for a bit," says another person.
"Would be a cool idea for the Conquest film for continuity," is another person's thoughts.
