Secret Invasion Set Photos May Debunk The Biggest Emilia Clarke Theory

Set photos from Secret Invasion could debunk the biggest theory regarding the identity of Emilia Clarke's character. The former Game of Thrones star is one of the many secretive new additions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe set to debut in Secret Invasion when the show premieres in late 2022. The Disney+ series marks the returns of Nick Fury, Talos, and Maria Hill, but there are also undisclosed characters played by Olivia Colman, Kingsley Ben-Adir, and Emilia Clarke.

From the moment Clarke's Secret Invasion casting was reported, there has been great speculation as to which Marvel character she could be. Theories range from future Avenger Spider-Woman to the Skrull queen Veranke. However, Abigail Brand was another suggestion that quickly became the favorite among many MCU fans. Abigail Brand is a former SHIELD agent who becomes the head of SWORD in the comics. With WandaVision introducing SWORD and setting up Secret Invasion with a Skrull appearing in the post-credits, hopes of Brand debuting in the show grew. It didn't take long for Emilia Clarke to become the odds-on favorite to play her as a result.

The photos show Emilia Clarke essentially looking like her regular self in real life.
