Two Queens Heading To The MCU? Olivia Colman & Emilia Clarke In Talks To Join Secret Invasion

The Marvel Cinematic Universe may soon be home to royalty, in the form of two new queens. On Monday, The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Academy Award winner Olivia Colman was negotiating a role in Marvel’s Secret Invasion Disney Plus series, and on Tuesday, Variety reports that Emilia Clarke is in talks to do the same.

Secret Invasion is expected to be the television adaptation of the comics storyline of the same name that’s

focused on a hostile takeover of Earth led by a shape-shifting alien race you may already know and love from Captain Marvel: the Skrulls. Few details have been revealed since the project was first announced, but we do know the show will feature the return of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as the friendly Skrull Talos, who was last seen impersonating Fury in Spider-Man: Far From Home.

While is no word on who they would play, their royalty background would have fans suspecting that the two could be in line to play Empress Veranke or Abigail Brand. Time will tell on who they end up playing if rumors hold true but the casting is quite exciting.
