But then it was reported that she will be playing a role of a Skrull named G’iah in the series.

The footage was revealed from the sets of Secret Invasion, in which the actress was shooting with someone wearing a grey motion-capture CGI suit. In the video, it appeared that the CGI character was choking out Clarke as she fights for her life on the ground below.

The president of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige hinted that Skrulls have “a variety of moralities among them,” meaning that we never know what every Skrull is thinking.

Cobie Smulders, known for her role as Maria Hills, warned the audiences that Secret Invasion is a “darker” MCU story, where no one will ever know who’s a Skrull and who’s human.

So what kind of Skrull Clarke is going to be is shrouded in mystery. And due to paranoia surrounding the Skrulls, it probably won’t be fully known until the series’ conclusion.
