Rumors were buzzing that Henry Cavill might make a cameo in a future season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms after it seemed actor Dexter Sol Ansell let slip a potential spoiler.
However, Dunk actor Peter Claffey has stepped in to clarify that it was all a misunderstanding.
“Just to clarify, what Dex mentioned in the interview had nothing to do with Henry Cavill joining the show or the Game of Thrones universe (I wish!) Complete misunderstanding [laugh emoji]. Hope everyone enjoys the Trial of Seven.”
Peter Claffey (Dunk) confirms that Henry Cavill will not be entering the Game of Thrones universe following online speculation: “Just to clarify, what Dex mentioned in the interview had nothing to do with Henry Cavill coming into the show or the GOT universe (I wish!)…”
In the interview, after Claffey compared his hedge knight character to Cavill’s Geralt of Rivia, Ansell asked, “Do you think you can say that Henry Cavill…?” After a brief pause, Claffey quickly responded, “No, no, no, no, god no, no, don’t say that, sorry,” and then to the journalists present: “You didn’t hear that.”
Fans took this exchange and ran with it, speculating that Cavill could appear as Daemon Blackfyre (from the Blackfyre Rebellion) in flashbacks during season 2. However, it seems that this won’t be happening.
The speculation intensified after Ansell accidentally revealed another significant A Song of Ice and Fire spoiler regarding Dunk and Egg’s ultimate fates at Summerhall.
