“I love a dragon”
When asked about the possibility of playing a Targaryen, Anya didn’t hesitate to show her excitement:
“I mean… I love a dragon. I’ve never grown out of it. If there’s a dragon in something I will watch it. Any dragon. I’m there.”
Her response drew laughs from the host, who noted that her look and energy already align with the iconic Targaryen image. The idea of Anya stepping into the role of a dragon‑riding monarch immediately resonated with fans, who began sharing edits and fancasts across social media.
Why it matters
Taylor‑Joy’s comments add fuel to speculation about future Game of Thrones spin‑offs. HBO has already expanded the Westeros universe through House of the Dragon and upcoming projects like A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Casting Anya — a Golden Globe winner with a strong fantasy following thanks to The Queen’s Gambit and The Witch — would bring star power and credibility to any new series. Her natural fit for the Targaryen aesthetic, combined with her genuine love for dragons, makes her a fan‑favorite choice. Whether or not HBO takes notice, her playful remarks have already ignited imaginations and conversations across the fandom.
