According to a recent leak by the Twitter account MyTimeToShineHello, Emilia Clarke is slated to play Veranke, the supervillain of the Secret Invasion comics plotline. Veranke is all over the comic book continuity, but she’s probably best known for impersonating Spider-Woman and at one time worked as a double agent for Nick Fury.

There have been various fan theories that have earlier pointed to the validity of this leak, for example, the kind of boots Clarke is wearing in several leaked pictures from the set, and also the height and composition of Clarke really befitting Varanke’s description from Marvel comics. The introduction of Varanke will also bring several new characters to the MCU storyline, including Spider-Woman, which doesn’t seem like a far-off possibility after the announcement of Multiverse of Madness.

Do you think Clarke is really playing Varanke? Or is she playing a different role? Talk to us in the comments below!
