It would be so handy. For Henry Cavill’s move from Netflix’s The Witcher to HBO’s House of the Dragon, he could just take his costume and Targaryen-blonde wig with him. And he would get a dragon for free.

At least we can take comfort in the fact that every House of the Dragon episode we watch is also on Henry Cavill’s TV. And he will no doubt introduce himself on one or the other kite from time to time.
