Emilia is set to play an adult version of the character G’iah, according to Vanity Fair.

Who is G’iah? She’s described as a “Skrull radical” who we first met in 2019′s Captain Marvel. She wasn’t mentioned by name in the film, but Samuel clarified that she was the daughter of Ben‘s character Talos.

According to Emilia, that relationship “hardened her.”

“There’s a kind if punk feeling that you get from this girl,” she added. “She’s a refugee kid who’s had Talos for a dad, you know what I mean? Maybe the fact that we didn’t know he had a kid up until this point tells you everything you need to know about their relationship.”
