House of the Dragon Season 3: Is there a release date yet? Here's all details about Rhaenyra and Alicent's relationship
The friendship between Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower once gave fans hope for a closer connection. But as House of the Dragon continues, that idea is fading. The growing conflict between the Greens and the Blacks leaves little room for reunion or emotional ties between the two characters.
Conflict Divides Former Friends
Rhaenyra and Alicent
were close when they were younger. Their bond seemed strong before political shifts changed everything. When King Viserys married Alicent, the friendship began to fall apart. Now, the two women lead opposite sides in a growing war. Rhaenyra supports the Blacks, while Alicent stands with the Greens. Each is deeply tied to their cause. The chance of reconciliation seems to shrink with every battle.

War and Separation Take Over Their Lives
The civil war has created distance not only between Rhaenyra and Alicent but also between others close to them. Rhaenyra's husband, Daemon, travels to Harrenhal and remains away for much of Season 2. Aegon II, Alicent's son, recovers from battle injuries and shares little time with his wife. These separations affect each character's emotional and political choices. Love and passion give way to survival and strategy.
Cast Denies a Romantic Theory
Some fans believe that Alicent and Rhaenyra once had deeper feelings for each other. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly,
Olivia Cooke
and
Emma D'Arcy
addressed this idea. They laughed at the suggestion. Cooke called it strange and dismissed the theory. D'Arcy did not support it either.

The director recently confirmed that the third instalment of the 'Wonder Woman' franchise is already in the works. Other than that, he also dropped subtle hints about plans for a new 'Superman' film. James Gunn confirms news of 'Wonder Woman 3' James Gunn officially confirmed that the third 'Wonder Woman' is already in the works! The director confirmed the news during a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly. He stated that while the process is 'slow-moving', it is still moving. DC fans have been awaiting news of the new instalment for a while. Gunn stated during the interview that "We're working on Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman's being written right now." While recalling the production studio's CEO David Zaslav's statement on the characters of Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, and Supergirl being the 'anchors of DC', he stated, "I think that's accurate, actually." He also confirmed that the 'Wonder Woman' films are completely separate from the 'Paradise Lost' TV series as well. "I think that he got that from something I said. I wouldn't say only those four characters, but I would say that those four characters are incredibly important to us. "Right now, I feel great about where two of those characters are, and then we're dealing with the other two," the director added while talking about the main characters of DC. New 'Superman' film already in the works? Gunn drops hints During the same interview, Gunn dropped hints about the 'Superman' sequel, citing that the next film will not follow the 'traditional route'. When asked about the next film, he stated that 'What I'm working on is in some way… I mean, yes, yes, yes, yes. But is it a straight-up Superman sequel? I would not say necessarily.' Soon after his statement was made public, fans of the DC universe started speculating that the possibility of the Dark Knight making an entry in the sequel may be a possibility. While Superman and Batman tend to keep to themselves when fighting crimes, in the comics there is a separate series titled 'World's Finest' where the two characters often pair up to fight villains that are bigger than themselves.
