In the upcoming MCU series, Clarke will be seen in the role of Talos daughter, G’iah. Talos actor Ben Mendelsohn can’t get enough of the Game Of Thrones star and called her a fantastic actress.
He shared,
“People won’t understand how much she brought [to the role] just when we were doing rehearsals. Thinking in ways I’d never think of. We were able to do very difficult scenes because of what a fantastic actress she is.”

“One of the great gifts, for me on this was having this fabulous person and fabulous actor come in and inhabit Talos’ daughter, and just be able to bring that whole dimension to it. People haven’t seen it, so, you know, you ain’t getting nothing from me, right? But we do deal a lot more with what’s going on. I mean, one spoiler. I will give you. There is an invasion in the show, right? It is a secret. That’s the other part of it. But getting to deal with the rifts, the fault lines of that invasion, we get to explore different starts to that. But this gangster here.”
Emilia Clarke also chimed in,
“We had a good time. We had such a good time.”
The two actors seem to have formed a good rapport while working together for the mini-series.
