Emilia Clarke said a return to Star Wars would be “lovely”

Emilia Clarke said a return to Star Wars would be “lovely,” but it sounds like she’s content sticking with Marvel Studios’ Secret Invasion.

Star Wars fans hoping for more of Emilia Clarke’s Qi’ra may be disappointed. Though there have been no indications of a sequel to Solo, the actress quashed any news about her returning to other Star Wars projects.

Solo: A Star Wars Story wasn’t the most successful of Disney’s Star Wars efforts. It introduced Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo and was supposed to tell the origin story of the scoundrel, which began on Corellia, where he had met and dated Clarke’s Qi’ra, later revealed to be an apprentice to Maul (Ray Park, Sam Witwer). Solo ended up floundering at the box office, and Ron Howard says Solo 2 is not a Lucasfilm priority, so this plot thread has only ever been picked up in comic form.

Speaking with IndieWire about whether Clarke was pursuing a Star Wars return, she suggested it wasn’t happening anytime soon. “I mean… no. That would be lovely, that would be very nice,” Clark said. “I’m genuinely having a wicked time on Marvel, though, they’re absolutely brilliant.” Given that she knows nothing of a potential return, that means it is incredibly unlikely for Qi’ra to show up in another live-action Star Wars property like The Mandalorian anytime soon.
