Ewan Mitchell used Michael Myers' physicality as an inspiration for Aemond Targaryen.

The second season of House of the Dragon is debuting on HBO next month, and it will see the return of Ewan Mitchell as Aemond Targaryen, the son of Queen Alicent Hightower and younger brother of Aegon Targaryen, the newly-appointed king. ComicBook recently had the chance to chat with Mitchell who revealed he's never watched Game of Thrones. During the chat, he also shared that horror icon Michael Myers served as inspiration for his character.

"I see Michael Myers from Halloween," Mitchell said, referring to ComicBook interviewer Chris Killian's background."He said some inspiration for Aemond ... Just through his physicality, you know, no matter how slow he walks, he always catches up with Jamie Lee Curtis. You know, he doesn't have to say much. He's just super scary. The way he inhabits space was something that I used with Aemond for sure.

What Is House of the Dragon Season 2 About?At the end of the first season of House of the Dragon, Rhaenyra Targaryen was supposed to become the rightful ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, having been appointed by her late father, King Viserys . Unfortunately, things go awry when Queen Alicent crowns her son, Aegon as the new king instead. The season ends with one of Alicent's sons killing one of Rhaenyra's sons, essentially igniting a war that is expected to bloom in the second season.

"I'm excited to pick up where we left off," Condal said ."Now we get to fall into the more traditional rhythms of storytelling and Game of Thrones. We've always talked about this particular tale, George has too, of being a Shakespearean or Greek tragedy. This series is very much about a house tearing itself apart from within.
