Emilia Clarke says she doesn’t regret joining big franchises, stressing that Thrones’ finale wasn’t her fault and joking about the mixed receptions to Solo: A Star Wars Story, Terminator Genisys, and Secret Invasion; she’s learned to be more selective now, grateful for Thrones and the experiences it opened up.
Emilia Clarke discusses the GoT salary rumors (captioning the $300k-per-episode figure as inflated), details two brain hemorrhages she suffered during the Thrones years and her brain-injury charity SameYou, and explains how she redefined success by saying no more often and choosing projects she genuinely enjoys—from Next Life to Ponies—while embracing producer roles and a career focused on process and personal fulfillment rather than chasing fame.

Emilia Clarke revealed she briefly broke a rib while filming intimate scenes for Peacock’s PONIES, a Cold War drama in which Bea seduces several KGB agents; she said it wasn’t a full break, just a partial rib pop, and co-star Haley Lu Richardson corroborated the injury.

Emilia Clarke stars in Peacock’s Ponies, a 1977 Moscow-set spy caper about Bea and Twila, two Americans drawn into undercover work after their CIA husbands’ deaths.

A fan theory suggests that Emilia Clarke's character, G'iah, who was killed in Secret Invasion, could actually be the mutant superspy Abigail Brand. This theory stems from the concept of Skrull "shells" introduced in the show, where G'iah's human shell could still be alive. If true, this opens up the possibility of Clarke's character returning in future Marvel projects, potentially as an agent under Fury in The Marvels, connecting her to S.A.B.E.R. and Captain Marvel. The theory offers a compelling way to utilize Clarke's talents and bring her back into the MCU.
