It&#8217;s no secret that her brushes with Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) didn&#8217;t exactly result in beloved stories, but she didn&#8217;t make it sound like it&#8217;s the kind of thing that has ever weighed her down.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;I don\u2019t think no one liked that show, guys,&#8221; Clarke said of Secret Invasion while using a goofy voice. &#8220;I\u2019m sorry!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-313219616\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><figcaption data-cy=\"caption\" class=\"caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption\">Emilia Clarke.

Terminator? That should never have happened.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Clarke is no stranger to playing roles for projects that go on to receive less-than-favorable reception from fans and critics alike. Game of Thrones Season 8 comes to mind as the obvious example, but her parts as G&#8217;iah in the MCU, Qi&#8217;ra in Star Wars, or Sarah Connor in Terminator Genisys have also seen her faced with harsh criticism from viewers online.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Each of the franchises she mentioned has a long history in entertainment, with some having deeper roots in the pop-culture world than others. At the end of the day, though, she admitted that &#8220;these were jobs I said yes to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;I entered into already existing franchises,&#8221; she added, &#8220;so when they don\u2019t work out, it\u2019s not personal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">On the topic of finding success in the future, Clarke said she needs &#8220;to wait for the right thing.&#8221; That said, don&#8217;t expect her to dwell on any other mishaps down the line.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;My connection to a project ends when they say, &#8216;Picture wrap,'&#8221; she added. &#8220;Because it\u2019s not for me to decide what people will think of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"poll-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Clarke shared a screen with Haley Lu Richardson for Peacock&#8217;s Ponies earlier this year and will soon <u>appear in the film Next Life<\/u>.
