During a recent interview for Marvel Studios' Secret Invasion, Emilia Clarke, who portrays Qi'ra, had difficulty answering a question about her future involvement in the Star Wars franchise. Qi'ra first appeared in Solo: A Star Wars Story as a childhood friend of Han Solo and a key member of the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate. Although Qi'ra's story has been expanded in Star Wars literature, fans still hope to see Clarke reprise the character in live-action.
In an interview conducted by Phase Zero and shared by mcuwaititi, Clarke was asked by her Secret Invasion and Star Wars co-star, Ben Mendelsohn, if she would like to revisit the role of Qi'ra. Clarke struggled to respond, stumbling over her words, and Mendelsohn amusingly stepped in to rescue her. In a lighthearted manner, Clarke joked, "I'm in Marvel now, I'm not allowed!" However, Clarke's evasive answer has sparked speculation about her potential knowledge of a Star Wars comeback.
How Emilia Clarke's Qi'ra Could Have A Star Wars Future
Clarke's vague response has sparked speculation among fans who believe she may have insider knowledge about Qi'ra's potential return to the Star Wars franchise. Qi'ra's fate has been a source of curiosity since the revelation of Darth Maul in Solo: A Star Wars Story. As a result of this interview, many are speculating about where Qi'ra could make an appearance in future Star Wars stories, considering her story takes place between A New Hope and Return of the Jedi.
One potential project in which Qi'ra could feature is Star Wars Outlaws, a video game announced by Ubisoft in 2023. The game explores the criminal underworld of Star Wars and is set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, making it a fitting opportunity for Qi'ra to be included. Another possibility is Qi'ra appearing in the Lando series alongside Donald Glover, as their characters have a connection in Solo. Regardless of the specific project, Qi'ra's return to the Star Wars universe would undoubtedly be eagerly embraced by many fans.
