Emilia Clarke will shortly be able to say that she’s appeared in two of the most popular sci-fi/fantasy franchises of all time. She’s already in Game of Thrones, obviously, as the Mother of Dragons Daenerys Targaryen. Come May, she’ll appear in Solo: A Star Wars Story, an origin story about Han Solo, one of the series most enduringly popular characters. Clarke will play the female lead.

We still don’t know a lot about her character, other than that she’ll be named Kira or Q’ra — the spelling isn’t confirmed yet. However, we now have a few new bits of information. Disney purchased some time during the Super Bowl to air a short teaser for the movie. Clarke pops up around 0:25. Watch it below:

Will Solo render Clarke a recognizable public figure even without her platinum blonde Daenerys hair? If anything can establish her as a film star, it’ll be a Star Wars movie. And even in the unlikely event that her career eventually bottoms out, between Game of Thrones and Star Wars, she can make a career out of going to Comic Cons for the rest of her life.

And there’s more! Before this trailer debuted, images from it proliferated online. By the looks of it, a few were cut from the final product, including this one of Clarke’s character wearing a kicky red cape:

Disney has promised to release a proper trailer tomorrow. Solo: A Star Wars Story will be released to theaters on May 25.
