As “Game of Thrones” quickly picked up steam and Emilia Clarke’s stock in Hollywood began to rise, she had the chance to take part in some pretty major productions. For instance, in 2015, she signed on to play iconic heroine Sarah Connor in “Terminator Genisys,” and in 2018, she took part in “Solo: A Star Wars Story” as Qi’ra. All the while, she popped up on TV shows like “Futurama,” “Robot Chicken,” and “Thunderbirds Are Go.” However, this trend appears to have died down since the “GoT” finale, seeing as Clarke’s filmography hasn’t undergone a whole lot of expansion since then.
Only a few short months after ending her tenure as Daenerys Targaryen, Emilia Clarke starred in “Last Christmas” from director Paul Feig. This holiday rom-com did well with general audiences, though it left critics far less enthused. Nevertheless, it made a decent profit at the box office, closing out Clarke’s 2019 on a high note. As for 2020 — a year ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic –, she only added one project to her filmography: “Murder Manual.” After premiering in the United Arab Emirates in 2019, director Phillip Noyce’s “Above Suspicion” arrived in the United States in 2021, making it Clarke’s sole release for the year.
Considering that she’s joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe via “Secret Invasion” and voicing Malicia in the animated feature “The Amazing Maurice,” 2022 is shaping up to be a standout year for Emilia Clarke.
