Jesus fucking Christ, I completely forgot there was a Secret Invasion series coming to Disney Plus. But there is such a series and Emilia Clarke is joining its cast!

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.
