Having been a lover of comic books, Clarke is over the moon about her new role. For a long time, Clarke has been immersed into the world of comic books.
“I grew up reading fantasy fiction, so I know that’s not the same as the actual comic book itself, but that was where my imagination lived,” Clarke stated to ComicBook. “And so, then reading about superheroes for the first time, I’m pretty sure it was Superman that was my first ever. And Spider-Man, I kind of thought he was pretty cool. Spider-Man was the first origin story that I remember as a child reading and being like, ‘Oh wow, this is more than what’s on the page. This is a bigger world,’ and then being allowed into that.”
It is unknown who Clarke will be playing and when Secret Invasion will air on Disney+.
