Marvel Studios' Secret Invasion is an upcoming television series on Disney+, based on the comic book crossover event of the same name. The series will feature a number of characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), as well as some new faces, and will explore the aftermath of the Skrulls' invasion of Earth.
The Skrulls were first introduced in the MCU in the 2019 film Captain Marvel, where they were portrayed as refugees seeking asylum on Earth. However, it was later revealed that some Skrulls were not as benevolent as they seemed, as seen in the post-credits scene of Spider-Man: Far From Home, where it was revealed that Talos, one of the Skrulls from Captain Marvel, was masquerading as Nick Fury.
The Secret Invasion series promises to expand on this concept, exploring the idea that the Skrulls have been infiltrating Earth for much longer than anyone realized. The series will see the return of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as Talos, as they team up to investigate the Skrull infiltration and root out any imposters.
The series will also introduce a number of new characters, including Emilia Clarke as a yet-to-be-revealed role, and Olivia Colman in an undisclosed role as well. While it's unclear which characters from the comic book event will be adapted for the series, it's possible that some fan-favorites may make an appearance.
One of the most exciting aspects of Secret Invasion is the potential for it to have major implications for the future of the MCU. With the Skrulls' ability to shape-shift and mimic the appearance of anyone, it's possible that some of our favorite heroes may not be who we think they are. This opens up a whole new realm of storytelling possibilities, and could lead to some major surprises and shocks for fans.
The series is being helmed by Kyle Bradstreet, best known for his work on the USA Network series Mr. Robot. Bradstreet has expressed his excitement about the project, stating that "I'm a huge fan of the comics. It's a huge, huge story. It's the biggest of the big in Marvel."
While the Secret Invasion series is still shrouded in mystery, fans are eagerly anticipating its arrival on Disney+. With its potential to upend everything we know about the MCU, and its impressive cast and creative team, Secret Invasion promises to be one of the most exciting projects in the Marvel Studios pipeline
