Like many of the new Disney Plus series,Secret Invasionwill showcase many side characters that have appeared in previous MCU films, giving them plenty of time to shine and be explored in greater depth. In this case, it’s Jackson’s Nick Fury that gets his leading role, as he will reunite with the friendly intergalactic Skrull Talos to help take down other rogue Skrulls who have infiltrated Earth and have taken great positions of power.
Skrulls, who are known as shapeshifters, may have secretly replaced well-known MCU heroes as imposters in order to rule Earth for many years. Introduced as allies inCaptain Marvel, the Skrulls' shapeshifting abilities were future hinted at inSpider-Man: Far From Home, where it was revealed that Talos replaced Fury on Earth while Fury was commanding a Skrull Spaceship. Even though many of them are good, there are plenty of Skrulls that are looking to cause harm, making them interesting and unpredictable characters to follow.
Mr. Robot’sKyle Bradstreet has hopped on board asSecret Invasion’screator and head writer, while Thomas Bezucha (Let Him Go) and Ali Selim were hired to direct the series. The series also stars Ben Mendelsohn as Talos,Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, Kingsley Ben-Adir as the main villain, and Olivia Coleman, Killian Scott, and Christopher McDonald (as a newly created character not from the comics) all in undisclosed roles.
Secret Invasionis set to premiere on Disney Plus in late 2022.
