The world of A Song of Ice and Fire has given way to some of the most epic battles in television history. The latest addition to this legacy is the Battle of Gullet, a naval skirmish that will be showcased in the upcoming season of House of the Dragon.
Starring Steve Touissant and Abubakar Salim, the show's latest season opens with the Battle of Gullet, which is set to be the biggest naval battle in the history of Westeros. The two actors sat down with Hindustan Times to discuss the scale of the battle and how it was created behind the scenes.
Comparisons with the Battle of the Bastards are high praise, with Abubakar Salim calling the Battle of Gullet 'its own beast' and Steve Touissant saying it's 'unprecedented.' The actors credit the show's stunt coordinator, Rowley Irlam, for bringing the sequence to life.
The Battle of Gullet was filmed on a set with giant replicas of ships, with the crew using water cannons to create an immersive experience for the actors. Abubakar Salim described it as 'beautifully chaotic,' while Steve Touissant praised the show's ability to translate the elaborate sequence from rehearsals to the set.
House of the Dragon season 3 airs on HBO and streams on HBO Max, with Indian audiences able to stream it on JioHotstar.
