Every Game of Thrones actor who has been in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Maisie Williams
Fans had the time of their life watching Maisie Williams portray the plucky Arya Stark on Game of Thrones. From using her assassin skills to take revenge on Walder Frey to finishing off the Night King, she had many standout scenes.
Williams appeared in the 2020 movie The New Mutants, a horror superhero movie set in the X-Men universe. She played the role of Rahne Sinclair, a.k.a Wolfsbane, who can to transform into a wolf.
Richard Madden
Robb Stark left the world of Game of Thrones. His death, along with his wife’s and mother’s, during the infamous Red Wedding remains one of the most shocking and talked-about scenes in the show’s run.
Madden featured in Eternals alongside Game of Thrones castmate Kit Harington. Madden played Ikaris, the leader of the group of immortal super-beings. His fate in the movie mirrors that of his Greek namesake Icarus, which means he’s unlikely to feature in future Marvel movies. However, with the multiverse in the play, no death is final.
Emilia Clarke
The beating heart of Game of Thrones, Emilia Clarke had fans not just cheering for her but even naming their newborns ‘Khaleesi’ during the show’s run. Daenerys Targaryen’s fall from grace and tragic demise was not well received by many. Clarke’s legacy, however, lives on in House of the Dragon, the new Game of Thrones spinoff based on her ancestors.
One of the newest additions to Marvel’s roster, Clarke plays the role of G’iah, a shape-shifting Skrull alien in the Disney+ show Secret Invasion. Her recently-revealed Super-Skrull form makes her one of the most powerful characters in the MCU.
Natalie Dormer
Natalie Dormer did an excellent job portraying Margaery Tyrell, the feisty princess of Highgarden and later the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. Learning from the best — her grandmother Olenna Tyrell — she was deft in the art of politics and calculated her every move. But she made the mistake of antagonizing Cersei Lannister and paid the price by burning alive along with everyone else in the Sept of Baelor that day.
Dormer was in Captain America: The First Avenger as Private Lorraine, a U.S. army member who found an interesting way of thanking Steve Rogers for his gallantry on behalf of the women of the country: kissing him. That kiss was quickly interrupted by a rather vexed Peggy Carter.
