Emilia Clarke Astonished Reaction to Prequel Cancellation
The Game of Thrones prequel cancellation surprised fans. GoT star Emilia Clarke was more articulate. She admitted that “It was kind of astonishing.”
Out promoting Last Christmas, she was asked by People if she knew anything about the axed prequel. She did not.
“The show very much ended and we heard about the prequel and we’re like, ‘Okay, cool,’ but didn’t have any understanding of what it might be or who was involved.”
Emilia seemed optimistic that there could be a way to salvage the Game of Thrones prequel. GoT fans know that the show based on the George R.R. Martin books had a lot of issues in the beginning.
“If it wasn’t meant to happen now, it wasn’t as perfect as everybody wanted it to have been, so it was for the right reasons. Maybe it will get reincarnated.”
After the interview, HBO gave the Targaryen prequel the green light. Emilia Clarke has not commented on this latest prequel. This prequel will focus on the Targaryen Civil War. They will film a pilot soon. HBO has not released any details on this prequel.
