Emilia Clarke Said That the Way Marvel Creates New Content Is “Mind Boggling”
While speaking with Collider, Clarke stated that her experience working with the studio was fantastic and noted her surprise at how easy it was to work with Marvel. Clarke said, “It’s mind-boggling. I’ve got to tell you, the way that those shows and films are created is mind boggling. It’s like everyone at Marvel knows how to unlock the Rubik’s cube, and you couldn’t even possibly — I can’t do a Rubik’s Cube to save my damn life. I hope a lot of people can’t also. It’s like they have some secret thing, and it just works. It just works! I’ve tried to understand it, and I’ve tried to be like, ‘Okay, logically how is this, how do you guys, what’s the…?'”
She continued, “They’re drinking some water over there. I don’t know what it is. It’s fabulous. […] They nail it. They just absolutely nail it. I’m not the only actor to say that working with them is just kind of brilliant. It really is. We had a lot of laughs. They’re just so chill, and I think I’m not that chill, and I think if I were them, I would be so unchill all the time.”
While most information regarding the plot of the upcoming series has been kept private,Secret Invasionwill most likely follow the Skrull’s (a shape-shifting alien race) invasion of Earth.It’s assumed that Clarke will portray the character Abigail Brand.
