On Thursday, English actress Emilia Clarke officially confirmed her role in Marvel Studios’ highly-anticipated original series “Secret Invasion” at Disney +.

The reveal came during a virtual appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" to promote her new comic series, "M.O.M.: Mother of Madness".

The comics is co-written with Isobel Richardson and Marguerite Bennett.

Clarke couldn't reveal further details due to Marvel's uber-intense secrecy that kept her from saying anything about the show’s plot, who she is set to play, or even anything other than the show’s title and her fear of saying too much.

The actress revealed that the first people she spoke to from Marvel were their security team, adding: "I am convinced... There is a man outside my house, there is been a car parked there for a long time, and I swear to God, it is undercover. They schooled me, and I don’t know what to do,”.

"Secret Invasion" is an adaptation of the 2008 crossover series published by Marvel.

The original Secret Invasion storyline involved a group of Skrulls infiltrating and invading Earth by secretly transforming into and replacing many famous Marvel superheroes.

The production featured crossovers from The Avengers, The Fantastic Four, Young Avengers, and Thunderbolts.

Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn will reprise their respective roles as Nick Fury and Talos.

The cast also includes Kingsley Ben-Adir, Olivia Colman, Killian Scott, Christopher McDonald, and Carmen Ejogo.

Clarke will be the fourth "Game of Thrones" star to join the MCU, after Peter Dinklage’s appearance in "Avengers: Infinity War", and Kit Harington and Richard Madden’s upcoming roles in "The Eternals".
