Talking about Ifans’ recent projects, he generated significant excitement after appearing in the trailer for Venom 3: The Last Dance. Fans speculate that he could play the main antagonist, Knull, in the film. However, since he previously played the Lizard, and given Venom’s connection to Spider-Man, there is a possibility that he might reprise his role.
How did fans take Rhys Ifans and Emily Carey in Hot D as father and daughter?
Rhys Ifans takes on the role of Ser Otto Hightower in HBO’s House of the Dragon, a political figure who holds the position of Hand of the King. Otto’s intricate bond with his daughter, Alicent Hightower, portrayed by Emily Carey and later Olivia Cooke, has grabbed the attention of viewers.
Their on-screen connection forms a key part of the show’s story, as Otto’s quest for power often clashes with his daughter’s expanding influence in the political arena.

Fans are eagerly anticipating his performance, especially after the announcement that the movie will be released on January 24, 2025. So, Ifans is set to appear in the 2025 spy thriller film, where he will play the character Sam.
Does Rhys Ifans have any children in real life?
Rhys Ifans has no kids that the public knows about. He’s played dads in movies and TV shows, but he hasn’t become a father in real life yet.
As of now, Ifans keeps his personal life under wraps, and he hasn’t talked about having children in interviews or public statements.
Even so, Ifans has dated some famous women during his career, actresses Sienna Miller and Anna Friel. But there’s no proof The King’s Man’s actor had any kids. Also, the actor has never tied the knot, despite his well-known relationships.

While Ifans often acts in roles with tricky family situations, like his part as Otto Hightower in House of the Dragon, his life off-screen seems more private and independent.
Because of this, people interested in his private life will see that he doesn’t share much. Instead, he puts his energy into his busy career in show business.
