by The talented Brit is set to make her first MCU appearance in ‘Secret Invasion,‘ but what are the best Emilia Clarke movies and tv shows so far?
The 10 best Emilia Clarke movies and tv shows
It’s impossible not to think about Game of Thrones when you think of Emilia Clarke. But over the years, the gifted Brit has delivered a tonne of fantastic performances in everything from voice acting parts to portraying an exaggerated version of herself. She has a diverse career that includes fantasy (obviously), science fiction, and rom-coms, despite the fact that most people would remember her from her stint as Daenerys Targaryen. Read on for our ranking of the top 10 Emilia Clarke films and television shows if you want to learn more about what else Clarke has accomplished in her career, want to form a more trendy opinion about what her best work is and need some direction, or are simply anticipating her imminent appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
10. Leading Lady Parts
This short film, which was released in conjunction with the Time’s Up campaign, is a depressing but hilarious delight that highlights how difficult it is for women to be given serious, leading roles. It features a number of great British actors who are auditioning for a “leading lady part” while being asked to do an increasing number of absurd things. In its brief running time, the movie explores racism and fatphobia in the entertainment industry while also offering some hilarious moments. The first actress up for the role is Clarke, who, like all of her fellow actors, performs a fantastic job. Tom Hiddleston, however, auditions and is given the part without reading any lines. Although it is small, it conveys a lot.
9. Last Christmas
The connection between Clarke and Henry Golding, her co-lead in this romcom, is evident even though the storyline and premise are somewhat weak. The Game of Thrones actor portrays a complex, disillusioned year-round employee of a Christmas store who starts to transform after meeting a loving, eccentric man, only to learn that he is actually the ghost of the man whose heart donation saved her life before he passed away. Although the plot is absurd, Clarke and Golding are really endearing in it, and even though the movie is about as cliché as they come, don’ Last Christmast be surprised if you find yourself getting teary-eyed throughout the credits. After all, many people have enjoyed this rom-com.
8. Futurama
The Simpsons creator Matt Groening’s future animated comedy has featured some standout guest actors, but Clarke’s portrayal of Dr. Zoidberg’s lover Marianne in the season 7 episode “Stench and Stenchibility” is among the best. In a program recognized for skillfully fusing the amusing and the sentimental, the Brit hit all the right notes in a comic but empathetic performance. Many talented on-screen actors struggle to really reach the same heights when confined to only their words.
Her character in the episode was born without the ability to smell, therefore she is not put off by Dr. Zoidberg’s odor when they first meet. Soon after they start dating, he finds out that she’s always wanted to be able to smell flowers, and eventually the crustacean doctor provides her the nose transplant that would cost him his chance at happiness. However, it’s a rare happy ending for Zoidberg because Marianne never discovered the difference between “good” and “bad” smells.
7. Above Suspicion
We’ll be upfront: Above Suspicion is a little thin. In actuality, the only things giving this movie any weight are its terrible, true-life plot and Clarke’s realistically grim portrayal as Sarah Smith, a former FBI spy who was murdered by a married agent after confessing that his child was hers. This 2019 movie may have been a sleeper smash because more people than ever are sensitive to tales of law officers exploiting their authority in unethical, frequently fatal ways. The intriguing source material, though, and Clarke’s talent are underutilized by the filmmaker.
6. Terminator Genisys
Even if it is a Sarah Connor raised in an alternate reality, the difficulty of playing such a famous role as Sarah Connor only serves to highlight Clarke’s talent as an actor. It’s just a bad that her performance was essentially the greatest part of this clumsy sequel to the series, which only manages to be redeemed by Clarke, a couple of her co-stars, and some excellent visuals. Because the movie set reputedly wasn’t the most enjoyable place to work, Clarke admitted she was “relieved” there wouldn’t be any sequels, which makes her turn all the more astounding.
5. Me Before You
Sam Claflin and Clarke both appear in this drama, which is based on the same-titled book by Jojo Moyes. In the movie, Clarke plays the part of Lou, a carer who is hired to take care of Will, a former banker and weekend athlete who was injured in an accident and is now a tetraplegic. When Lou and Will start dating, she quickly finds out that he has made plans to visit the assisted suicide institution Dignitas in six months in order to end his life as he sees fit. Lou is horrified by the information and flees, but she ultimately comes to terms with Will’s choice and flies to Switzerland to be with him in his final moments. This may have seemed quite basic and veered into clumsiness with less capable actors, but Clarke and Claflin have terrific chemistry, making it a genuine tearjerker.
4. Solo: A Star Wars Story
We are aware that there are great expectations for the expansion of the Star Wars world, which is why many people feel that Solo: A Star Wars Story falls short of the legendary originals. Few people, however, would contest the fact that the performers wowed, elevating the otherwise forgettable movie into a watchable experience. While Alden Ehrenreich’s Solo wasn’t awful, Clarke in the major female role of Qi’ra, the love interest and childhood friend of the eponymous character, did a terrific job and truly infused her own personality into the part. In the movie, only Donald Glover’s performance came close to matching hers in terms of brilliance.
3. The Amazing Maurice
This Terry Pratchett book adaption that was computer animated is endearing and comforting, managing to blend terrific humor for the whole family with just the appropriate amount of emotion. The film’s main character, a con artist cat played by Hugh Laurie, connives with a group of rats to defraud cities of their food supplies. Malicia, the mayor’s daughter of the town that Maurice tries to attack, is played by Clarke. However, as a greater foe is revealed, the two must work together. Clarke performs a fantastic job, much like she did in Futurama and other voice roles, bringing the film together to make a pleasurable watch for all ages.
2. Dom Hemingway
Alongside Jude Law and Richard E. Grant in this gritty gangster comedy, Clarke continues to shine in challenging parts. With Clarke portraying his estranged daughter Evelyn, Law portrays the title character, a former safecracker who has recently been released from prison. Law and Clarke are constantly excellent, conveying the strained father-daughter bond while also offering chuckles and plenty of plausibility, even with the idea getting weird at times, even though several parts of the movie seem to stray off course. Even though it’s not a classic, if you enjoy British humour, it’s definitely worth watching.
1. Game of Thrones
Was there ever going to be anything else at the top of the list of Emilia Clarke’s greatest performances in films and on television? Despite the contentious way the series ended, her legendary portrayal as Daenerys Targaryen in the popular HBO adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s fantasy series Game of Thrones earned her numerous award nominations, victories, and the highest level of international acclaim. The dragon queen is one of the series’ and novels’ more sympathetic characters, but it doesn’t exactly set the bar high, and you definitely don’t want to cross her. In the part, Clarke is astonishing and unforgettably memorable.
Now in a brand-new scene from Secret Invasion Episode 5, Emilia Clarke‘s G’iah is still alive and well and taking deadly aim.
Clarke’s G’iah was revealed to have transformed into a Super Skrull and rapidly healed with the aid of Extremis after meeting her (presumed) demise at the end of Episode 3.
G’iah is a loose canon going into the final two episodes of Disney+’s Secret Invasion because Talos‘ daughter has returned from the dead and Gravik thinks she has vanished.
New video shows Emilia Clarke opening fire
In a brand-new, exclusive sneak look dubbed “Home Security,” Nick Fury’s home is being attacked by unidentified shooters (who may be Skrulls or maybe members of the US military).
The house invaders are being sent to the afterlife by Emilia Clarke’s G’iah and Charlayne Woodard’s Priscilla, who are both defending them.
G’iah kills a number of the men with a shotgun in a string of hot bullets. Reloading, she strikes one in the torso with a direct shot, knocking the fool back and leaving a bloodstain on the wall.
The two women successfully repel the assault by alternating between various portable weapons. Even though they appear to have won the battle at the end of the clip, the Secret Invasion war is still going on.
A Penultimate Episode Covered in Blood?
When G’iah learns that Talos was killed by Gravik at the end of Episode 4, all bets are off.
Emilia Clarke’s character initially supports the new Skrull government more idealistically, but after learning that their leader murdered her father with a knife, that may change.
The death of Ben Mendelsohn’s Talos would keep the stakes high and provide G’iah and Nick Fury with some intriguing incentive.
Conflict is imminent, involving an encounter between Samuel L. Jackson and Don Cheadle, Hulk-like Skrulls, a nuclear bomb threat, and other MCU veterans.
On July 19, Secret Invasion Episode 5 will debut.
