A lot is happening on the pre-production tables of Marvel Studios’ upcoming original series Secret Invasion for Disney Plus. According to Variety, Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke is in the final rounds of negotiations to join its ensemble cast.

If things work out with Emilia, this would be her foray into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Emilia is known for playing Daenerys Targaryen, one of the headliners of HBO’s Game of Thrones.

Secret Invasion is touted to follow the events of Captain Marvel movie bringing focus on Samuel L Jackson’s secret agent Nick Fury and a shape-shifting alien race known as the Skrulls. Actor Ben Mendelsohn will reprise his role of the Skrull Talos from Captain Marvel.

One Night in Miami star Kingsley Ben-Adir is likely to play the villain in the series that’ll have infiltration of Skrulls on Earth as a major plot point.
