“House of the Dragon”: Deepfake puts Emilia Clarke in the role of Rhaenyra; she looks

Comparisons between Rhaenyra, from “The House of the Dragon”, and Daenerys, Emilia Clarke’s character in “Game of Thrones” are common on the Internet, and a channel specializing in creating deepfake has made it a reality, putting Clarke in the Renira’s shoes.

Despite the so-called deepfakes, technologies that use artificial intelligence (AI) resources to fake adulterated video and audio that look original (find out more here), are often used for less noble reasons, in other cases they are a source of entertainment.

This is the case of the YouTube channel Stryder HD, which specializes in creating deepfakes of films and series for the pure enjoyment of its audience. The channel created a video in which she transforms Milly Alcock’s Rhaenyra Targaryen into a Rhaenyra with the face of Emilia Clarke.

This change has made many fans miss Daenerys Targaryen and perhaps intensified the confrontations between the two young women seeking the right to sit on the Iron Throne, separated for 200 years in Westeros history.

In addition to this video, the channel has created a more recent one, in which it inserts Emilia Clarke in episode 4 of the series:

Emilia Clarke played Daenerys Targaryen, one of the last survivors of House Targaryen in “Game of Thrones”, during the eight seasons of the HBO series. Rhaenyra, played as a young man by Milly Alcock, and then by Emma D’Arcy, lives in a period in which the Targaryens are at their peak, but is the protagonist of a great succession dispute that will cause a real civil war in the family.

Deepfakes have become a common sight on the internet since 2019 and can make it seem like a person is doing or saying something that didn’t actually happen. In addition to entertainment purposes, as in the previous case, deepfakes can be used in cyber attacks and to create fake news.

The next episode of “House of the Dragon” will arrive on Sunday on HBO and HBO Max.
