This was just reported yesterday that Marvel has apparently roped in Oscar winner Olivia Colman for their upcoming series “Secret Invasion”. The series was already getting loaded with the actors that were getting onboard the project. But now, an even more exciting news has popped up and we are sure it will leave every fan out there thrilled. Apparently Marvel Studios has locked Emilia Clarke for an exclusive role in the upcoming series “Secret Invasion”.
That’s right, Emilia Clarke, also known to the world as the Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen from the uber famous HBO series “Game of Thrones”, is apparently locked in by Marvel. As reported by Variety, the final negotiations are under process and in no time, she might be joining the cast if all goes well. Just like how the role Olivia Colman is under wraps at the moment, Emilia Clarke’s apparent role is also a highly classified one at the moment.
The series already has some of the best in the business actors leading the show. Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn will be reprising their roles as Nick Fury and Skrulls Talos. It is also being said that Kingsley Ben-Adir, who was last seen in the highly acclaimed “One Night In Miami” will be joining the series as the villain for the show.
The show is apparently to pick up from the events of Captain Marvel. As the title mentions, the show will follow the invasion of a shape-shifting alien species that take over the lives of important and known people in their world. Though not much has been mentioned about the plot, one can say that the show will definitely include the basic plotline of the comic book itself.
Till early last year, the show was one of the projects that was still in development, but recently there have been major additions and progress in the development of the show. It is even being said that the shoot for the show might start from fall, this year. Parts of Europe and London have been shortlisted as places to shoot for the upcoming series.
This is not the first time a star from GoT has entered the Marvel Universe. Earlier we have seen Peter Dinklage who played Tyrion Lannister in GoT as Eitri in Avengers: Infinity War. There’s also Finn Jones who has played Loras Tyrell in GoT playing the role of Iron Fist aka Danny Rand in Marvel Series “Iron Fist”. Jessica Henwick who played Nymeria Sand was seen as Colleen Wing in Iron Fist too. Also, Richard Madden who played Robb Stark in GoT will now be seen in Marvel’s Eternals.
