I'm pretty sure Aegon won't be in the show, and therefore probably isn't a major player in the endgame. With only two seasons left, to randomly drop in a new Targaeryen (with a serious claim to the throne) that Hodors have never seen before would be bizarre. He would need to have been hinted at at some point, and the show has never even tried to mention him as far as I remember.

agreed

we'll know more when they do the new cast interviews, and put names out.

I don't think they've surprised us with anyone character wise. It's probably way too tough to have someone hidden character/actor just pop up without it having got out

At this point I expect the fates of the living Starks (+ Jon Snow), Dany, and Tywin's 3 children to be the same in both the show and the books; everything else is up in the air and can be manipulated to get those characters where they need to be.

For instance, even if Aegon does have a major role to play, and it turns out to be important for there to be a random Prince to come out of nowhere and claim the throne, show-Gendry could do it. In fact now that I think about it, with no more living Baratheons I think show-Gendry probably has the best claim to the throne at this point so it wouldn't be that much of a stretch.
