Marvel Studios’ Secret Invasion is currently in preproduction and has shaped up a pretty strong cast. Emilia Clarke (Solo: A Star Wars Story), who was reported in talks for the project recently confirmed her involvement. Now, thanks to a new interview, we know what drew her to the Marvel Universe.
Clarke spoke with ComicBook.com and discussed her interest in working with the successful franchise.
“I just think what they’re doing right now is so exciting and so cool, and so on the cutting edge of it. I feel like they’re like the Apple of this world. To be part of that family feels like, ‘Oh my god, I’m in the cool kid crowd. That’s so cool.’ Honestly speaking, the people that are making this are what pushed me over the line to really wanting to do it. I just think that everyone’s heart and heads are in the right place with this one.”
