Having starred as popular Game of Thrones character Daenerys Targaryen since the HBO series began back in 2011, it seems undoubted that Emilia Clarke will have as much success on the big screen as she does the small.

However, the British actor's film career was stalled somewhat following an appearance in last year's Terminator: Genisys alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jai Courtenay.

With talk of Arnie returning for Terminator 6 (yes, there'll be another one), it was unclear whether Clarke would be reprising her role of a young Sarah Connor.

Grabbing the opportunity to find out, ComingSoon asked the actor if fans could expect to see her in the planned sequel; Clarke bluntly dispelled any such thoughts.

"No," she said. “Can I say that? It’s okay. No. Uh-uh. But I have some very different roles coming up.”

One such role is Me Before You in which she plays Louisa Clark, a girl who forms an unlikely bond with William Traynor (Sam Claflin), a recently paralysed man she's taking care of.

She will also voice a role in mystery drama Voice from the Stone which is yet to have a release date attached despite completing filming in 2014.

Before that, however, she will be seen as the Mother of Dragons in Game of Thrones season six which begins this weekend (25 April). Clarke recently revealed her true thoughts about a controversial rape scene that occurred in the show's first season.
