A Game Of Thrones movie could be coming to expand upon the George R.R. Martin series. While the HBO series based on Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels ended in 2019, the franchise has already returned with the popular House of the Dragon spin-off, and has several more shows in development. In a very unexpected turn of events, it seems that a surprise movie directly linked to the flagship series could now be on the cards.

Sophie Turner is apparently interested in returning to the Game of Thrones franchise.
According to details released by The Hollywood Reporter, there have been initial discussions about a new movie that will seemingly continue the original story in some way, but there are currently no details about what that might entail. Furthermore, Warner Bros have yet to comment on the development, which means that fans will have plenty of time to speculate on exactly what this could all entail.
While Game of Thrones was a hugely successful series for HBO on the whole, its final season became one of the most divisive in TV history. Although House of the Dragon has managed to restore some faith in the franchise and kick-started a whole new drive to deliver more content in the future, there is still a very big question mark over whether fans will be able to overlook the issues of the past to delve back into this particular part of Westros once again.
Game of Thrones Did Not Deliver the Right Finale for Many Fans
Fans of A Song of Ice and Fire have been on a rollercoaster ride with HBO’s Game of Thrones, and the continued wait for Martin to complete his next book, The Winds of Winter. The first seasons of the series followed Martin’s novels pretty solidly, but as the show caught up with the source material, a choice had to be made about what would happen with the rest of the story.
Although it was reported that Martin laid out the remaining storylines that he planned to include in The Winds of Winter and his final book in the saga, A Dream of Spring, things did not exactly follow that plan. Instead, the final episodes turned the series from one of the most loved shows on TV to one of the most criticized in the blink of an eye. The conclusion of the story, which captivated audiences across 8 seasons, included several controversial choices around once popular characters such as Emilia Clarke’s Daenerys.

“You don’t have to agree with me.”
Currently, there has still been no sign of Martin’s next book actually making it to shelves, but there has been a strong resurgence in the number of Game of Thrones-linked shows being developed. The news of a movie is not something anyone really saw coming in the middle of this, but it does follow a recent trend of movies and TV shows merging into one package that is to be expected rather than happening as an anomaly. Currently, HBO is seeing huge success with The Penguin, a spin-off from Matt Reeves’ The Batman, which has proved that cross-medium projects can be successful if done correctly. Whether that will be a description that matches a Game of Thrones movie is something we can only wait to find out.
