House of the Dragon Season 3 is set to open with a gigantic battle. A popular face from HBO‘s fantasy drama has teased what fans may witness at the start of the third chapter.
What did Steve Toussaint say about House of the Dragon Season 3?
Steve Toussaint, who portrays Lord Corlys Velaryon in House of the Dragon, has revealed that Season 3 will kick off with a massive battle, reports Deadline. “People who know the story have been excited and waiting for this particular sea battle,” said the actor while speaking at the Deadline Studio event as part of SXSW London. “Luckily for me, my character and his son [Alyn of Hull, played by Abubakar Salim], are central to that.”
Toussaint added, “I don’t know what the budget was, but it was a lot. They built three ships, built two tanks – a wet tank and a dry tank – and then they just squirted lots of water cannons at us. We cut people’s heads off, they poured blood on us, and it’s mayhem.”
The latest House of the Dragon Season 3 trailer also made it evident that the stakes have never been higher. Fans can expect all-out war, more bloodshed, and spectacular action sequences involving dragons, of course.
House of the Dragon is a prequel to HBO’s acclaimed hit Game of Thrones, created by George R. R. Martin and Ryan Condal. It premiered in 2022, with its second season following up two years later. HBO renewed the spin-off series for Season 3 in June 2024.
