Emilia Clarke<\/a>‘s impressive career has seen her starring as a number of beloved characters, including Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones. But while portraying the Mother of Dragons<\/a> landed her several awards (and even more nominations), not all of her roles were so well received.<\/p>\n

Among her less popular projects are Terminator Genisys, Marvel’s Secret Invasion and Solo: A Star Wars Story, which each faced critical backlash following their releases. <\/p>\n

In a recent interview with Variety<\/a>, the actor confirmed that she is aware of the negative response, but that she doesn’t take it to heart. <\/p>\n

Speaking about 2023’s Secret Invasion, which saw her playing Skrull rebel G’iah, Clarke openly admitted: “I don’t think no one liked that show, guys. I’m sorry!”<\/p>\n

“Star Wars? They didn’t like it. Terminator? That should never have happened. But these were jobs I said yes to, you know what I mean?” she continued.<\/p>\n

When asked if the frosty receptions were disappointing, Clarke gave a rational answer, pointing out that she had “entered into already existing franchises”.<\/p>\n

“So when they don’t work out, it’s not personal,” she added. <\/p>\n

The star went on to explain her mission to redefine what success means to her, after feeling “significant” disappointment when she didn’t win an Emmy for Game of Thrones. <\/p>\n

She shared that she now takes on roles “for no other reason than that I would enjoy that job”, adding: “My connection to a project ends when they say, ‘Picture wrap.’ Because it’s not for me to decide what people will think of it.”<\/p>\n
