is in final negotiations to join Marvel Studios' "Secret Invasion," the hot original series quickly coming together at Disney Plus.

The "Game of Thrones" headliner's role is naturally under wraps, and marks her first foray into the Marvel universe. She joins previously-reported cast Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Kingsley Ben-Adir, and Olivia Colman.

Marvel Studios declined to comment on the matter. Reps for Clarke did not immediately comment on the matter.

"Secret Invasion" was announced as a development property last year, one of Marvel's many planned titles for Disney Plus. Jackson is reprising his MCU role of Nick Fury, while Mendelsohn will play the Skrull Talos as he did in the feature film "Captain Marvel." "

That's good for her. Unfortunately my interest in this casting was greatly overshadowed when I misread Kngsley Ben-Adir as Ben Kingsley and thought for a split second that Trevor was coming back.

Good luck to her. She's had some big roles for established franchises, only for the movies to be crap. Can't say it's bad luck, since GoT was such a hit. But it is kinda bad luck lol.

Yessssss, love me some Khaleesi.

Now her character needs to hang out with the Eternals so we can have Jon and her together. 🥲

I'm curious who she'll be. Besides Mephisto, I mean.

Part of me feels like they would want Clarke as someone with a bit more staying power than Veranke, but who knows

On the one hand I like Emilia and am happy she's in the MCU

...on the other hand I'd prefer they casted her into a bigger role in one of the movies

Oh, so this is live-action? Damn. That's exciting. I was under the impression that it was a cartoon spin-off like the What If anthology.

Awsome. I think she's a great actress who has just had some bad roles. She near-single-handedly carried the final season of GoT, and I loved her as Qi'Ra in Solo.

I think Gemma Chan going from Captain Marvel main cast to the Eternals main character shows that previous castings (particularly in a makeup/CGI-heavy role) don't preclude them for other, future roles. So we'll see how it works out - hard to say without even knowing what her role is gonna be here.
