The Disney+ side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had a strong start in 2021, and looks set to only get bigger and better moving forward. Though only Moon Knight has a firm release date as of yet, there is a theorised order that would potentially put Secret Invasion in a 2022 slot.

The show has assembled an absurdly impressive cast, though so far only Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, and Cobie Smulders have confirmed roles. Everyone else is currently shrouded in mystery.

Even alongside names like Christopher McDonald, Olivia Colman and Kingsley Ben-Adir, Emilia Clarke is the one that has caught fans’ attention, with many believing she may be playing Abigail Brand.

Something of a fan favourite character, Brand has long standing affiliations with the X-Men since her introduction in 2004. She played a big part in the Secret Invasion story of the source material, and has been a part of both S.H.I.E.L.D. and S.W.O.R.D. It’s not hard to see why fans are excited to see Abigail Brand make her long awaited MCU debut, and with Emilia Clarke the franchise may have found a big name with a certain amount of star power to bring her to life.
