Westworld's Secret Game of Thrones Dragon Cameo

In 2020, "Westworld" Season 3 delivered a subtle yet exciting "Game of Thrones" crossover. "Game of Thrones" creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss made a brief appearance as technicians. They were seen preparing to dismantle a dragon android, which closely resembled Drogon from "Game of Thrones."

This dragon android was brought to life by Pixomondo, the same VFX company that worked on "Game of Thrones." The cameo was inspired by "A Song of Ice and Fire" author George R.R. Martin's known admiration for "Westworld."

Lisa Joy, a "Westworld" creator, revealed that Martin often joked about crossovers, prompting them to indulge the idea. Martin, unaware of the cameo beforehand, later shared his thoughts on his blog. He recalled suggesting a "Westeros World" to "Westworld" creators, fitting with the show's theme park concept. The "Westworld" episode aired in 2020, generating significant online buzz among fans. While some speculated about a shared HBO universe, others humorously proposed a "Westeros World" as a better conclusion to "Game of Thrones."
