The newest trailer for the upcoming MCU series Secret Invasion has revealed one of the first looks at Emilia Clarke’s character, G’iah, Talos‘ daughter from Captain Marvel all grown up and seemingly on Earth. Clarke’s role was kept under wraps throughout the production of Secret Invasion until a few days before the trailer’s release.

In the trailer, Clarke portrays G’iah in her human disguise, while Vanity Fair released images of G’iah in her natural, green humanoid-alien form looking into a mirror. As a Skrull, she can shape-shift into any human form. It is unknown if Clarke’s likeness is another character G’iah is adapting to look like or the human form that G’iah feels most closely resembles her true self. G’iah’s Secret Invasion look seems like a natural progression from the last version of the character fans saw when G’iah was a young Skrull back in Captain Marvel. The looks of the young actor and Clarke match well.

The Role Of G’iah In Secret Invasion

G’iah, Talos’ Daughter

Given the first trailers for the series and the comic by Brian Michael Bendis and Leinil Francis Yu Secret Invasion is based on, it’s safe to assume the Skrulls will play a large role in the series. Talos occupies a high position among the Skrulls, as seen in Captain Marvel. Perhaps, while he was on Earth impersonating Nick Fury, his daughter took on some of his responsibilities. Now that the Skrulls’ and humans’ stories are converging once again, it may be time for father and daughter to reunite.

Moreover, G’iah’s last appearance saw her getting along well with a young Monica Rambeau. Perhaps sometime in the future, fans will be able to see the two reunite as adults, especially given Monica’s major role in The Marvels.
