Marvel's Secret Invasion Accidentally Reveals Emilia Clarke's Character

I think it was a missed opportunity not to have more of Fury in the SHIELD tv show; at least a mini arc that focused on the earlier days (hence a somewhat younger actor playing the Sam Jackson role). Also it would've been nice to see Cobie Smulders again. I never watched her comedy show so her MCU Maria Hill was my first exposure to her (and too bad her Stumptown show got cancelled due to covid), and its good they're bringing her back for this. Also Carmen Ejogo! Don't know what role she's playing but I love her in everything.

I dont really know the actors who play Sif or the Warriors Three. I think theyre mostly American, but I cant think whether they put on fake accents or not.

Jaime Alexander (Sif) and Josh Dallas (Fandral 1) and Zachary Levi (Fandral 2) are American; Tadanobu Sat? (Hogun) is Japanese, and Ray Stevenson (Volstagg) is Irish but grew up in England.

It definitely requires some level of suspension of disbelief, but making up a bunch of fake alien accents would be just as silly in a lot of ways. I believe theyve been consistent with virtually every Asgardian being English, at least. Tom Hiddleston and Idris Elba are actually English, and Anthony Hopkins is from Wales, but more or less English.Chris Hemsworth and Cate Blanchet are Australian, Karl Urban is a Kiwi, and Tessa Thompson is American, but they all do English accents for their characters.

Neither here nor there, but Korg's got a Kiwi accent, not English. (Which is honestly funnier.)

Yes, I can always count on you to keep me honest my friend. As much as I do like Korg's voice and accent and the levity it brings it is quite odd in the context that he is an actual alien.

Kinda disappointed that she got cast as Brand. I was hoping she was either the baddie who would have her part and go away or just have some one-off part, but being cast as Brand means she'll probably be around for many years and many movies. Just cuz she was on one of the best shows on television since back when Walking Dead was good doesn't mean she's a great actor. Actually she's a terrible actor outside her role in GOT and unless she's using her own English accent she really can't convincingly pull off any other accent. In the end I guess all they really needed her for is the recognition factor and I suppose they can easily just just have her use her own voice just as easily as characters like Korg and Valkyrie are both aliens but oddly also have English accents.

I don't know if this was that out of the blue they leaked who she was playing I saw confirmation it was Abigail brand a bit ago, it says it on a couple sources.

Maybe we'll finally get an Abigail Brand Legends figure! Too bad it will be MCU rather than comic. That's alright, I just bought 3 WWE Elite Collection Stacy Kiebler figures in a suit and skirt on clearance for 50% off to use for customs....

Well with SWORD involved it was only matter of time before Brand was introduced. I wonder if she will be bringing her furry boyfriend?
