Her brother’s plan to reclaim the throne involved her marrying Khal Drogo, leader of the Dothraki. Throughout the series, Clarke’s role highlighted Daenerys’ evolution, from a pawn used by her brother to an independent leader who outsmarted many men of Westeros. Her performance earned her four Emmy nominations.

Solo: A Star Wars Story
In the spin-off from the original Star Wars franchise, Clarke played the role of Qi’ra, Han Solo’s childhood friend and partner in crime. For those who’ve watched Star Wars, they must be pretty familiar with Han Solo, the beloved character from the Star Wars universe. The movie delves deeper into Han Solo’s backstory, showing how he became the galaxy’s greatest smuggler before joining the rebellion. The film shows how he got his name, met Chewbacca and embarked on his journey with the rebellion. In the origin story, Qi-ra is Han Solo’s girlfriend and fellow smuggler. Though they were childhood friends initially, Han and Qi’ra are separated by fate and despite reuniting, they seem apart. While Clarke’s character was supposed to be a significant figure in the Star Wars franchise, due to box office failure, the storyline was dropped.
Last Christmas
Directed by Paul Feig and co-written by Emma Thompson, Last Christmas is yet another rom-com starring Clarke alongside Henry Golding. The holiday rom-com follows Kate, a young woman struggling with her life in London while working as an elf in a year-round Christmas shop. In the movie, Clarke brings charm to the character, shifting flawlessly from comedic moments to emotionally charged scenes. Her portrayal of Kate is both funny and heartfelt. After making some poor decisions, Kate meets Tom Webster, and despite their initial encounter being cut short, they grow closer. After she opens up about her recent heart transplant, Tom’s mysterious disappearance leads her to discover more about herself. Last Christmas is a funny and touching holiday watch which is inspired by the popular Wham! Song.
