Peter Claffey, who plays Ser Duncan the Tall, aka Dunk, and Dexter Sol Ansell, who plays Dunk’s squire Egg, aka Prince Aegon Targaryen, were also present to show the trailer in front of excited fans. They got an extra treat as Game of Thrones' Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and House of the Dragon's Fabien Frankel sent in a video message to fans to welcome the new Knight in Westeros.
Ser Duncan the Tall receives warm welcome from Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Fabien Frankel
A video from Brazil's CCXP is being shared online, which shows Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Fabien Frankel from the previous George RR Martin series welcoming
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and its stars to the
Game of Thrones universe. Frankel, who plays the Kingsguard knight Ser Criston Cole, begins the pre-recorded video saying hello to the Brazilian fans. He states, "Now, I hear there's a new knight riding into Westeros."
Coster-Waldau joins him via split screen and exclaims, "What? A new knight in Westeros!" The actor who played Jaime Lannister in Game of Thrones gives his apologies for not being there in person. He went on to say, "I want to welcome the new guy and wish him all the best of luck." Frankel returns to share, "If there's one bit of advice I could give you, it'd be this. Choose your allegiances carefully, keep your wits about you... see, there's no glory without a little Fire & Blood."

It's a great life. Being a knight, especially if you have a loyal squire by your side." Frankel ends by stating, "And from what I've heard, you've got the best squire in all of Westeros." Claffey was pleased with the shoutout as he excitedly said, "That is so cool! He knows my name."
