A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Star Dexter Sol Ansell Joins Game of Thrones Alum in 2027 Movie

Dexter Sol Ansell, who plays Egg in HBO's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, is set to appear alongside Game of Thrones actor Dean-Charles Chapman in the 2027 film The Little Mermaid. Chapman, known for playing Tommen Baratheon, will portray Prince Charming, while Ansell takes on the role of the Little Mermaid's son. The casting connects two generations of the Game of Thrones universe, uniting a rising star from the prequel series with a veteran from the original show. The Little Mermaid, directed by Joe Wright, is a live-action adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale and is scheduled for release on March 12, 2027. This collaboration highlights the expanding careers of actors from the Game of Thrones franchise and offers fans a new crossover to anticipate. With both projects slated for 2027, Ansell is poised for a breakout year across two major fantasy properties.
