Many Game of Thrones fans despised season 8, but a new campaign called “Justice For Daenerys” is raising money for Emilia Clarke’s charity SameYou.
The fund was organized by members of the r/freefolk Reddit community. Since the “Justice for Daenerys” fundraiser started last week, the campaign has raised 90% of its goal and over £90,000. All proceeds will be going to SameYou, a brain injury rehabilitation charity Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke launched back in March.
Emilia Clarke showed her gratitude for the “Justice for Daenerys” campaign in an Instagram post on Thursday. You can check out the post below.

Emilia Clarke, who played the iconic Daenerys Targaryen, launched a brain injury rehab charity a few months before the final season of Game of Thrones. She also penned a personal essay revealing her struggles with two life-threatening brain aneurysms she suffered during the earlier seasons on the show.
In the Game of Thrones “Justice for Daenerys” fundraiser, the fans praise Emilia Clarke, saying the following:
“Emilia Clarke’s incredible Emmy-worthy acting and dedication to her character has inspired thousands and, as each season passed, we fell more and more in love with Dany.”
This fundraiser is a far cry from the currently active petitions asking for a rewrite of season 8.

Veteran X-Men producer Simon Kinberg makes his directorial debut with Dark Phoenix in addition to producing the film with Hutch Parker, Lauren Schuler Donner and Todd Hallowell. Dark Phoenix is expected to be Fox's final X-Men film featuring the core X-Men cast in the cinematic universe launched by director Bryan Singer in 2000 with the Disney-Fox merger now complete.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Alexandra Shipp, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Evan Peters, and Jessica Chastain. Here's the film's synopsis:
“This is the story of one of the X-Men’s most beloved characters, Jean Grey, as she evolves into the iconic DARK PHOENIX. During a life-threatening rescue mission in space, Jean is hit by a cosmic force that transforms her into one of the most powerful mutants of all. Wrestling with this increasingly unstable power as well as her own personal demons, Jean spirals out of control, tearing the X-Men family apart and threatening to destroy the very fabric of our planet. The film is the most intense and emotional X-Men movie ever made. It is the culmination of 20 years of X-Men movies, as the family of mutants that we’ve come to know and love must face their most devastating enemy yet — one of their own.”
Dark Phoenix is set to hit theaters on June 7, 2019. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for the latest news on the future of the X-Men.
