Warner Bros sends Game of Thrones to cinemas in June 2029
Warner Bros will release Game of Thrones: Aegon's Conquest in cinemas on 1 June 2029, The Hollywood Reporter reported on 29 September 2026.
The date is the first firm calendar commitment for the project. It places the film in the early summer corridor, when studios programme titles built for large crowds and long runs. A theatrical release means cinemas first, before streaming or home viewing. That choice matters for a franchise that began life on television.
Owen Harris will direct, according to the same report. Beau Willimon wrote the script. The director leads the shoot and guides the finished film, from performance to pace. The writer provides the blueprint, scene by scene and line by line.
The story centres on King Aegon I Targaryen and his conquest of Westeros. Aegon is the founder king, the invader whose campaigns brought warring lands under a single throne. The film looks to the distant past, well before the characters most viewers know from the television series. Swords are drawn. Dragons fly.
Warner Bros confirmed the title Game of Thrones: Aegon's Conquest at CinemaCon earlier this year. CinemaCon is the annual Las Vegas gathering where studios preview coming films for cinema owners. A title reveal there is a public promise. It tells exhibitors what to list on their slates, and audiences what to ask for.
Word of a film had circulated since March, when IndieWire reported that Warner Bros. was developing a Game of Thrones movie with Willimon attached. Willimon is a writer on Andor, the Star Wars drama about rebellion and espionage. That credit connects one of television's most discussed dramas to Westeros. It also explains why the March reports drew quick attention.
What makes this stand out is the scale of the commitment. A date almost three years out is normal for an effects-heavy production. It allows time for shooting, cutting and extensive visual work. It also warns rival studios off the weekend.
For fans, this means waiting. No cast has been disclosed in the verified reports. No footage has been shown. For now, the calendar entry is the story.
