Emilia Clarke recently made her MCU debut in the new series Secret Invasion. She plays G'iah, Talos' daughter, and is expected to be a major player throughout the show's six-episode run.
The actress is no stranger to being involved in a major franchise as she previously starred as Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones and has dabbled in Star Wars with a role in Solo and played Sarah Connor in Terminator Genisys.
Given that she has starred in numerous franchise properties at this point, fans might be curious about the comparison regarding her experience in these projects and whether being part of a successful franchise like the MCU ended up being pleasant for her.
Emilia Clarke Compares Her Experience Between the MCU and Game of Thrones
In an interview with Yahoo! journalist Kevin Polowy (via The Direct), Clarke opened up about her experience working in various franchise properties where she shared that the MCU is the best one yet for her.
"Oh my god, it's just the best... It's such a pedigree in its own right, it lives in its own level that is separate from everything else. It isn't just a superhero franchise, it's Marvel, like it's totally different," she said.
"There's an ease and calm that I think comes with them being the best and maybe understanding that they're the best, and having all the stuff. And then having this cast is just completely mindblowing."
The Emmy nominee explained that being part of an established franchise was a bigger advantage for her than being in Game of Thrones where they were figuring things out along the way since it was a fresh property.
Clarke added, "Game of Thrones was such a unique experience for me because we didn't know what the hell we were doing most of the time. And then it just became this big thing and we just rode that journey all the way. This, you're stepping in and everyone is already doing their A-game."
It is interesting to hear that Clarke had a way better experience in the MCU than any of the previous franchise properties that she starred in even if she is not the lead star and this is not the first time that we've heard from someone in the MCU have the same enthusiastic feeling.
At this point, it's not surprising if she ends up staying in the MCU for a long time depending obviously on her character's fate by the end of the series.
