Marvel's upcoming Secret Invasion is heating up, with Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke in talks to join the Disney+ series. Marvel Studios could not be reached for comment on the casting, which was first reported by Variety.

Secret Invasion, which gets its name from the 2008 event comic book event story, stars Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Ben Medelsohn, reprising his Captain Marvel role as the shape-shifting Skrull Talos. Oscar winner Olivia Colman is also among the cast. Kyle Bradstreet, known for Mr. Robot, is writing and executive producing Secret Invasion.

In the comics, Secret Invasion revealed that Skrulls had infiltrated human society, and that some of Earth's superheroes had been replaced by Skrulls years earlier.

Clarke, who earned four Emmy nominations for her Game of Thrones work as Daenerys Targaryen, is the latest Thrones alum to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Both Richard Madden and Kit Harington have roles in the upcoming Eternals film.

The casting comes as Marvel prepares to unveil Friday's finale of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, its second Disney+ series following WandaVision. It has Loki launching June 11 on Disney+ and Black Widow hitting theaters and Disney+ July 9.

Clarke already has experience in the Disney family with her work in Solo: A Star Wars Story. She last appeared in a leading role in 2019's Last Christmas.

Marvel's Secret Invasion has found its directors.

THR reports that Thomas Bezucha (Let Him Go) and Ali Selim (The Looming Tower) have been tapped to helm the upcoming Disney+ series, which will (loosely) adapt the Marvel Comics event series of the same name by Brian Michael Bendis.
This news comes on the heels of several major casting announcements, with Olivia Coleman (The Favorite, Tyrannosaur). Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones, Solo: A Star Wars Story) and Killian Scott (The Dublin Murders, Love/Hate) all signing on for undisclosed supporting roles.

Plot details are also under wraps, but we do know that Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn will reprise their Captain Marvel roles as Nick Fury and Talos, respectively. It's also been confirmed that the show will focus on "an infiltration of Skrulls on Earth" (no big surprises there).

One Night In Miami star Kingsley Ben-Adir will play the lead villain. We don't know who that'll be, but Dorrek VII, Emperor of the Skrull Empire, is a strong possibility.Kyle Bradstreet (Mr. Robot) is writing and executive producing Secret Invasion, and production is expected to get underway in Europe later this year. It is unclear what the breakdown of episodes will be, but sources believe it could be three-three or four-two.
 
Kingsley Ben-Adir and Ben Kingsley need to be in the same movie just to have both their names on the poster.
