SECRET INVASION Star Emilia Clarke Breaks Silence On Gi'ah's New MCU Status Quo - SPOILERS

Secret Invasion star Emilia Clarke went on quite the journey as Gi'ah in the Disney+ series, but she's now broken her silence on how much fun it was to shoot that big status quo shift for the Skrull...

The Secret Invasion finale was undeniably divisive. That was for a number of reasons, of course, and Marvel Studios' decision to turn Gi'ah into the MCU's most powerful being as a Super-Skrull has definitely raised some eyebrows. 

Gravik's demise has proved she's not invincible but her story ended in a way that's left fans scratching their heads when it comes to when and where we'll next see her. For Clarke, shooting the CG-heavy battle proved to be the highlight of her time working on the Disney+ series. 

"There was a part of this fight where I was on a [stunt] chariot," she recalls in an interview with Marvel.com"Then I was doing all the running, but I wasn't actually running. I was on a chariot, which was being pulled by a car. And then my favorite bit is they put me on the wires!"

"I literally was like, this is my best day ever," Clarke adds. "I'm a theme park-riding kind of gal. Give me a trapeze. Give me a roller coaster. It felt exactly like that. I just kept giggling. I couldn't stop giggling. It was genuinely the funnest day I've ever had on set — ever, ever, ever."

While there's an awkward shot of G'ia with Drax's arm which has been poked fun at in some corners of the internet, the visual effects in the final battle were solid and Clarke did look phenomenal unleashing Captain Marvel's abilities. 

However, shooting those moments - including jumping in place to simulate taking off - proved to be a tad awkward for the Game of Thrones alum. 

"You just stand there, and then you got to exit the screen. You're like, well, I actually can't fly. And I'm not attached to the wires right now, so I'm just going to have to do the dumbest thing ever and just look really mean. And then jump. That's exactly it. The biggest anticlimactic move."

Clarke didn't touch on her possible MCU future in this interview, though we're hoping she isn't sidelined in the same way as Kit Harington's Dane Whitman. Fans have made it clear they're done with Marvel Studios' take on the Skrulls, so a Secret Invasion season 2 revolving around Gi'ah and Sonya Falsworth is likely off the table. 

All episodes of Secret Invasion are now streaming on Disney+.

Josh, stop saying the episode was divisive. It's sitting at 10%. If anything, the finale has unified us in the belief that it sucked.

Honestly I'm pretty sure this episode was made by ozimadias as part of his plan for world peace.

Olivia Colman and small bits of Ben Adir-Kingsley I liked from this series.

But I see no reason why Emilia Clarke would ever under any circumstances accept this do-nothing role. Gi’ah character is boring and had basically zero reaction to her parents dying. Then they make her THE Mary sue of the mcu with that insane, nonsensical power up

Man, I don't think I've ever been as disappointed with an MCU project as I am with this one. I've disliked my share of MCU movies and shows, but I really thought this one was going to be good. This was even more disappointing than Moon Knight.

In the comics I never felt that the Superr Skrulls were as powerful as the people they were replicating, so I am not sure I'd call her the most powerful person in the MCU. Am I wrong on that?

Worst MCU show by far. That final battle was ridiculous!!! I mean, I thought Fury said that this was his war and that it was personal. But then he calls in Giah for the final battle??? And he didn’t want to call the Avengers in because he didn’t want the skrulls replicating their powers, but then decided to just give them everyone’s powers anyways??? And why does giahs leather jacket keep shapeshifting??? Are her clothes actually part of her body or something??? Just dumb!!!

@BobbyDrake - A load of nonsensical tripe. On par with WB and Sony’s worse

@BobbyDrake - I think Fury said he didn't want the Avengers being replicated, not their powers (can't believe I sad something in defense of this pile pf excrement)
The clothes do change sometimes with the shape shifting and other times not, a general inconsistency in the series

Also Giah was a terrorist, sure she turned on them after she found out they killed her Mum but she was still ideologicaly with them, so an odd choice to make her the most powerfullest eva! Moderm MCU morality I guess

In agreement with all, concensus, sucked, garbage 🗑, crap, dog 🐕 shit. Worst series, show. I like fury, bit with superheroes, he didn't have any, no cameos, nothing. Then they change canon and make a super skrull with 100 powers 🔋. No training, how did she learn to use her powers, ect? Too short, doesn't make sense, absolutely horrible fight, looked like a Michael Bay transformers scene, a blur. Looked cheese 🧀, a bullet through her head and she is dead. Also, why did fury give the formula up, I didn't get that. He wouldn't have, not the real fury, again, trash. Mcu needs some core 😫 stories to get them back on track and a big-bad to fight, this isn't 😤 it.
