Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) has been out and about recently. In addition to looking radiant at the Met Gala on Monday, she walked the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere of Solo: A Star Wars Story, positively glowing. Clarke plays a character named Qi’ra in the film.

Of course, the actress took the time to pose with co-star Alden Ehrenreich (Han Solo) while she was there.
And, even though the movie won’t hit theaters until May 25, fans are already cosplaying Clarke’s character. How flattering.
Naturally, during her walk down the red carpet, Clarke was asked about the film, and what it was like to work with legendary director Ron Howard. “He brings the Joy,” she said. The Hollywood Reporter’s correspondent then asked the one question on all our minds: “What character from the movie would you like to go on a road trip with?” Clarke replied with the only correct answer: “Oh my god, Chewie. Duh.”
If Emilia Clarke and Chewbacca ever do go on that road trip, she can be his translator.
Moving on, Carice Van Houten (Melisandre) has landed the starring role in the film Locus of Control, per Variety. The movie follows Van Houten’s character “a prison psychologist who starts an affair with a serial sex offender who appears to be ready to be released back into society.” The sex offender will be played by fellow Dutch actor Marwan Kenzari, while the film is directed by Halina Reijn.
Van Houten also landed the starring role in the adaptation of Simon Mawer’s novel “The Glass Room.” Variety notes she’ll be filming Locus of Control in between her filming Game of Thrones scenes. Someone’s going to be very busy.
Elsewhere, Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei) has paired up with shoemaker Reebok for its massive new ad campaign, #BeMoreHuman.
Emmanuel elaborated that she wants to “be a part of changing the stories that are told,” in an interview with Reebok, and named her greatest strength as “perseverance.” You go, girl.
And finally, Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy) showed up in the new teaser trailer for The Predator, a film that is not a sequel to Predators (2010), nor is it a remake of the original Predator (1987), but it does exist in the same universe. Confusing, I know. Although there aren’t many details on who Allen is playing in the film, we do know he’s portraying an ex-marine. So there’s that.
Hopefully, things go better for Allen than they did in John Wick. Here’s to hoping.
