Emilia Clarke has made it clear she is ready to close the door on fantasy roles after spending nearly a decade as Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones. The actor, who became one of television's most recognisable faces through the HBO series, said fans are unlikely to see her anywhere near a dragon again.
Clarke made the comments while promoting her new Peacock espionage drama Ponies, where she plays a very different kind of lead. This time, there are no kingdoms to rule, no mythical creatures to command, and no pressure to carry a franchise on her shoulders.
