Daenerys Targaryen was almost played by the Scarlet Witch.

“Avengers: Endgame” star Elizabeth Olsen, 30, has admitted trying to land the key “Game of Thrones” character now made famous by Emilia Clarke — blaming “the most awkward audition I’d ever had” for her failure.

“When I first started working, I just auditioned for everything, because I like auditioning. And I auditioned for Khaleesi,” Olsen told Vulture of the mad queen character.

The actress — best known as Scarlet Witch in the Avengers movies — said her “most awkward” try-out had involved a monologue from the first season.

“They didn’t know if they wanted a British accent or not. So, you did it in both. It was terrible,” she told Vulture. “Anytime someone says, ‘Bad audition story.’ That’s one I remember.”

Her embarrassment did not stop her becoming a mega-fan of the HBO show, which concludes Sunday night — especially for the character who would have been her key rival, Jon Snow.

“I’m just so deep in Game of Thrones that all I can think about is Kit Harington,” she told Vulture. “I mean, he’s just brainwashed me.”
