She may be the Mother of Dragons in that other great universe, but here in the GFFA she’s the head of criminal underworld organisation Crimson Dawn, which means anything Emilia Clarke does in her career is of great interest. Amazon Prime’s adaptation of Criminal by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips will see Clarke appear as ‘slick and daring armed robber‘ Mallory, alongside fellow Star Wars star Adria Arjona.
Emilia Clarke has been cast in Amazon Prime Video‘s upcoming series adaptation of the “Criminal” graphic novels in a lead role, Variety has learned exclusively.
Clarke will star alongside previously announced cast members Charlie Hunnam, Richard Jenkins, John Hawkes, Adria Arjona, Logan Browning, Kadeem Hardison, Pat Healy, Taylor Sele, Gus Halper, Aliyah Camacho, Michael Mando, Marvin Jones III, Michael Xavier, and Dominic Burgess.
The official description states the series is “an interlocking universe of crime stories.”
Clarke will appear in the role of Mallory, described as “a slick and daring armed robber, as quick with a gun as she is with her wits. Part of a heist crew with Ricky Lawless (Halper), who she’s in a passionate Bonnie-and-Clyde-like affair with. Mallory is a woman on the edge, living on the wrong side of the law and hiding secrets that will bring her and her entire crew into the danger zone.”
