After making her way through Westeros and becoming a fan-favorite playing Daenerys Targaryen in the hit series Game of Thrones, Emilia Clarke is taking another big next step to becoming a household name in the geek world. Back in 2021, it was announced that Clarke would join Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn on Marvel’s upcoming series, Secret Invasion. Now, with the premiere of the highly anticipated TV show closer than ever, Collider sat down with Clarke herself to talk about her experience in the MCU.
At the Sundance Film Festival, Clarke spoke to our own Perri Nemiroff and opened up a little about the reality of working with the Marvel machine. As everyone knows (or at least assumes), Marvel Studios is a globe-throttling production company that puts together some of the biggest and most expensive crews in order to keep taking its cinematic universe to the next level. Clarke revealed that, as intimidating as that may sound, she felt astonished at how chill everyone seemed to be on set.
Hear all about it in this clip from her Sundance interview about her new film, The Pod Generation!
