Emma D’Arcy says watching Milly Alcock's version of Rhaenyra felt like 'watching Targaryen home video.'
brings a thoroughly unique perspective to the questions of gender in which theprequel trades. The 30-year-old D’Arcy is a nonbinary person using they/them pronouns, playing a woman for whom power is both inherited and elusive. Rhaenyra has been appointed heir to her father, the king , but her ability to lead is doubted.
To D’Arcy, the binaries present in medieval fantasy aren’t all that different from the world in which we now live. “If she’s gender questioning in any way, it’s because she sees men occupy a space that isn’t afforded to her. And she craves the space, which makes her reflect on why she is not afforded the same things as, say, her uncle Daemon, to whom she feels incredibly similar and akin and sort of genetically familiar,” D’Arcy says.
They hope, however, that the brutal way in which their Rhaenyra debuts will alleviate some of the potential sorrow over Alcock’s departure. “We really don’t give the audience much time at all to sit with their grief,” they say. Moments after giving birth, a bleeding Rhaenyra marches through King’s Landing to present the baby to her former best friend and now queen and stepmother Alicent , who is worried about her own line of succession.
D’Arcy and Alcock didn’t spend time coordinating their performances—they went for a drink outside the context of filming—but on seeing the first episode ofD’Arcy was taken by how much they recognized Alcock’s Rhaenyra. “I’m feeling a bit like watching Targaryen home video or something,” they say.
Rhaenyra’s sexual activity is a focal point of D’Arcy’s initial appearance, with King’s Landing all atwitter with the question of who fathered her children—none of whom seem to bear resemblance to her husband, Laenor Velaryon. “I’m still not sure that she has yet had the cognitive space to really understand her own desire,” D’Arcy says. “And, simultaneously, I think her instinct is for this incredibly enmeshed attachment to people, and she sort of locks on too much and falls apart.
