The Penguin

However, Deadline reports The Batman spinoff series starring Colin Ferrell’s Penguin is still moving forward and plans to film next February.

House of the Dragon

Matt Smith was openly critical of House of the Dragon’s numerous sex scenes featuring his character, Daemon, in a recent interview with Rolling Stone.

You do find yourself asking, ‘Do we need another sex scene?’ And they’re like, ‘Yeah, we do.’ I guess you have to ask yourself: ‘What are you doing? Are you representing the books, or are you diluting the books to represent the time [we’re living in]?’ And I actually think it’s your job to represent the books truthfully and honestly, as they were written.

In the same interview, Smith revealed Daemon rides a dragon named Caraxes.

My dragon’s called Caraxes. He’s a bit of an avatar of Daemon — he’s grumpy, sardonic, insular, volatile, chaotic. There’s a very strong connection between the dragon and the dragonrider.

Tales of the Walking Dead
