In the world of House of the Dragon , one character's fate has left fans hanging in suspense – Otto Hightower, played masterfully by Rhys Ifans. At the close of Season 2, Otto’s journey takes an unexpected turn when he’s captured by an unknown force, and his location remains a mystery.

In an exclusive interview with Inverse, while promoting his new movie Venom: The Last Dance , Ifans addressed Otto Hightower’s ambiguous ending. Reflecting on the enigmatic conclusion, he revealed, “I haven't been told by anyone with any kind of conviction or authority where exactly Otto is at that point. All we know is that he’s still alive somewhere in that world, and that's as much as I know too.”
As fans continue to unravel the possibilities, Otto Hightower’s arc in Season 2 showed him gradually losing his influence in King’s Landing, despite his family still holding sway over the throne. After his dismissal as Hand of the King, Otto opted to leave the capital. His next steps remain unclear, but he hinted at returning to Oldtown, his family’s stronghold, to mentor his grandson, Daeron. Yet, Alicent, his daughter, suggested he go to Highgarden to secure their family’s dwindling power in that vital part of Westeros. Ultimately, his departure was shrouded in mystery.
When we last see Otto, he is imprisoned by an unseen captor. Fan theories abound, with some believing the Tyrell family of Highgarden betrayed him, while others think his enemies in King’s Landing—possibly even his own grandsons—may have orchestrated his downfall. Regardless, we’ll likely have to wait until House of the Dragon Season 3 to see how Otto’s fate impacts the future of the realm, with the next season not set to arrive until 2026.
For now, Rhys Ifans remains tight-lipped about Otto’s fate, just as curious as the rest of us. His cryptic comments only fuel the excitement for what’s to come. In the meantime, fans can catch Ifans in his new role as a quirky father figure in Venom: The Last Dance , a refreshing change from his portrayal of the scheming Otto Hightower.
