Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke will play Sarah Connor in the latest Terminator movie, heading off competition from Australian actress Margot Robbie.
The English actress won the role on Friday after testing for the part, industry magazine Variety reported.
Sources said the studio was also interested in Robbie, but she never read for the part.
American actress Brie Larson, who played Toni Collette's character's daughter in the United States of Tara television series, also tested for the role.
The film, being directed by Alan Taylor of Thor: the Dark World fame, will serve as the first film in stand-alone trilogy.
