Emilia Clarke is easily one of the Hollywood A-listers fans have been dying to see get cast in a superhero project and while it may have taken her long to finally jump into the bandwagon, the Game of Thrones alumnus is set to make her debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe via the upcoming Disney+ spinoff show Secret Invasion.

Since the confirmation of Emilia's MCU involvement last year, followers of the billion-dollar franchise have continuously speculated on the actress' character. While nothing was ever confirmed, fans were quick to assume that Clarke was playing S.W.O.R.D. agent Abigail Brand which makes total sense since the project deals with extra-terrestrial beings.

However, to those hoping they'd see Emilia play a hero in the MCU, we've got some bad news for you. It looks like the 35-year-old star isn't playing a protagonist after all and according to a new scoop from Twitter insider MyTimeToShineHello, Emilia will serve as Secret Invasion's main villain, Veranke aka the Skrull Queen. The oftentimes reliable scooper didn't go into detail about her character so it'll be interesting to see if Marvel Studios will make changes to Veranke.

It's worth noting that 2019's Captain Marvel retconned the Skrulls and turned the previously villainous race into lovable characters but it looks like Marvel Studios is finally pulling the trigger by showing their true colors. With everything that has been going on in the MCU as of late, it'll be interesting to see how the Skrulls will factor into the whole multiversal war. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Secret Invasion is still currently in production.
