Like the word in its title,Marvel Studios' upcomingSecret Invasionseries remains a big mystery, more so than a lot of the shows that are making their way to Disney Plus in 2022. Now, the new set photos that have surfaced online may hint at when the show will take place in the MCU timeline.
Filming for theMarvel Studiosproject is underway in Leeds, after set photos released by the Yorkshire Evening Post revealed the series' two stars gearing up for a shoot. While MCU newcomerEmilia Clarke was spottedwearing a dark green jacket, it was Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury trading in his leather black jacket and eye patch for more rugged look with his large beard and torn beanie that generated a lot of attention, so much that many people now can guess whereSecret Invasionfits in the MCU.

According to Inverse, Fury’s new look makes the character seem as if he is incognito or retired, hinting that the events ofSecret Invasioncould take placelong afterAvengers: Endgame. Reports also point out that Fury not rocking an eye patch could possibly mean that the series takes place right afterCaptain America: The Winter Soldier, a period of time when Fury’s whereabouts were unknown and also the last time he was seen without his eye patch.
Whatever appears to be the case,Secret Invasionis shaping up to be one Marvel Studios' most exciting upcoming projects and one that will give Fury a greater exploration of his character, something that has not been seen all too much in past MCU films. The series follows Nick Fury as he reunites with the friendly intergalactic Skrull Talos to help take down other rogue Skrulls who have infiltrated Earth and taken great positions of power.
Skrulls, who are known as shapeshifters,may have secretly replaced well-known MCU heroesas imposters in order to rule Earth for many years. Introduced as allies inCaptain Marvel, the Skrulls' shapeshifting abilities were further hinted at inSpider-Man: Far From Home, where it was revealed that Talos replaced Fury on Earth while Fury was commanding a Skrull Spaceship. While many of them are good, there are plenty of Skrulls that are looking to cause harm, making them interesting and unpredictable characters to follow.
The series also stars Ben Mendelsohn as Talos, Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, Kingsley Ben-Adir as the main villain, and Olivia Colman, Killian Scott, and Christopher McDonald (as a newly created character not from the comics) all in undisclosed roles. Fans can expect this series totie into eitherMs. MarvelorThe Marvels, two projects that are set to release in late 2022/early 2023.
Secret Invasionis set to premiere on Disney Plus in late 2022.
