Daenerys has a pretty crisp kill-count. Now she almost added one of the MCU's biggest names, Nick Fury.
Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke has just joined the MCU and is already working alongside one of their biggest stars, Samuel L. Jackson. Now the actress revealed that she almost ran over her famous co-star on set, while filming the MCU's newest show, Secret Invasion.
Secret Invasion is a welcome breath of fresh air to the MCU, with its more grounded espionage setting. The show is centered around Nick Fury and based on the comic storyline with the same name, offering a nice glimpse into his skill set and the secrets he holds, although Emilia Clarke almost ended his journey early.

Emilia Clark Almost Ran Over Samuel L. Jackson On Set Of Marvel's 'Secret Invasion'
Secret Invasion tells the tale of a Skrull invasion on earth, with Emilia Clarke being one of the Skrull helping out Nick Fury . In an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, the actress revealed how she “nearly ran him over”, him referring to Samuel L. Jackson.
Good thing Nick Fury is so hard to kill, or otherwise Daenerys would have claimed another victim.
What happened was that they were shooting a scene where G'iah (her role) has to drive an old Russian car and, as the actress explained herself, she had no idea what the hell she was doing.

I got in, and I was like, ‘Hey, what's with the six sticks up in here? Which one am I using? Why do I have 10 pedals?’ I know how to drive. I know how to drive stick. Anyway, not enough time. We've gotta go. We’re shooting. Come on honey. Just go. We're gonna go.’ So I'm like, that one's start, that one's stop, okay, I can do this. Get in there. We get up to it. The camera is right there. Sam is right there. And I pressed the wrong thing, I pressed the accelerator rather than the brake.
Oh boy, that sounds awful. Luckily, nothing happened, as Clarke managed to not run over our favorite motherf*cking actor! Apparently, he was even pretty chill about almost being run over.
Clarke on the other hand "cried a little bit" and had someone else take over the driving part for her, and understandably so.
Looking at the MCU, they're not always making the best decisions:
