Emilia Clarke's Secret Invasion character has already appeared in a Marvel movie
Secret Invasion may mark Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke's introduction to the MCU, but it's not the first time her character has appeared in a Marvel movie.
As part of Vanity Fair (opens in new tab)'s exclusive new look at the upcoming series, Clarke's co-star Samuel L. Jackson revealed that she's playing G'iah, the now-adult daughter of Talos (Ben Mendelsohn), who was first peeped in 1990s-set Captain Marvel in 2019.
"Remember when Ben was there with his wife and daughter?" Jackson asked the publication. "She's the little Skrull girl grown up. She's his daughter."
The scene in question sees Jackson's Nick Fury watch Talos, an army general whose been estranged from his family due to the Kree-Skrull conflict, reunite with his wife and child. According to Clarke, though, Talos and G'iah's relationship has become even more strained in the decades between the events of Captain Marvel and Secret Invasion.
"It's hardened her for sure. There's a kind of punk feeling that you get from this girl," she teased. "She's a refugee kid who's had Talos for a dad, you know what I mean? Maybe the fact that we didn't know he had a kid up until this point tells you everything you need to know about their relationship.
Game of Thrones star @EmiliaClarke is new to @Marvel, but her #SecretInvasion character has been seen before. "There's a kind of punk feeling that you get from this girl." (Spoiler warning)
