It’s been five years since Game of Thrones It ended its broadcast with its eighth and final season. A spectacular series and one of the best we have had the opportunity to see in recent years, although the most surprising of all is that, despite its success, its beginning was plagued with problems, especially its disastrous pilot episode He had to re-record a few scenes.
In fact, George RR Martin appeared in the original pilot episode, the author of the novels of this popular saga. A curiosity that is actually very common in other franchises, such as the fact that Stan Lee has had cameos in countless Marvel films or that Quentin Tarantino has appeared in a few films that he himself has directed, so Martin was not going to be less.
The role assigned to him was one in the form of guest at the wedding between Daenerys and Khal Drogo. The problem is that, as we already told you a long time ago, in the pilot episode the role of the mother of dragons fell to actress Tamzin Merchant, who was replaced by Emilia Clarke in the final version of the first chapter of the series and in the rest of later episodes.

This also meant that, by changing the actress, the scene in which George RR Martin appeared was cut and no longer repeated the same role
Although no one had any objections, the reason why his request did not go ahead was because Creating severed heads was very expensive.like Martin himself admitted, so the budget did not make it possible for this very peculiar cameo to come true. Even so, producers David Benioff and DB Weiss offered him the opportunity to have a cameo during the eighth season, but this time it was George RR Martin who did not want to because he preferred to focus all his attention on The Winds of Winter, the next book in the series. saga.
So, if he finishes writing it at some point, maybe we’ll end up seeing it at least in The House of the Dragonwhose second season will premiere on June 16, but plans to expand its story during a third and fourth seasonAs minimum.
