Rebel Moon's Ed Skrein on Co-Starring With His Game of Thrones Replacement

Fans of Game of Thrones will remember that a key character, hunky sellsword Daario Naharis, looked rather different in season four after debuting in season three—and now the two actors who played him, Ed Skrein and Michiel Huisman, are sharing the screen in Zack Snyder’s new Netflix film Rebel Moon.

Actors replacing other actors in established roles isn’t unheard-of in Hollywood; aside from maybe the most famous example (Bewitched, obviously), Prime Video’s Wheel of Time just did it, swapping in a new actor to play Mat Cauthon in season two. But it is somewhat unusual that two stars who played the same character—in this case, both of whom saw their profiles rise exponentially after Game of Thrones; Skrein played the villain in Deadpool and Huisman was in The Haunting of Hill House—would appear together in another, later project.
