New Trailer drops!!
Since the release of the first Skrull in the MCU, fans have been anticipating the arrival of the Secret Invasion storyline. In 2023, Disney+ will release the Secret Invasion TV series, starring Samuel L. Jackson reprising his role as Nick Fury. The show follows a Skrull radical group that has grown tired of waiting for Fury to fulfill his promise to help them find a new homeworld, and instead seeks to take over Earth and make it their new home. Fury must not only defeat the Skrull army but also combat the paranoia of his former friends and allies, who have lost faith in him, especially after the reveal in Spider-Man: No Way Home that the “Nick Fury” on Earth was actually a Skrull.
The official description of the show released by Disney reads, “In Marvel Studios’ new series ‘Secret Invasion,’ set in the present day MCU, Nick Fury learns of a clandestine invasion of Earth by a faction of shapeshifting Skrulls. Fury joins his allies, including Everett Ross, Maria Hill, and the Skrull Talos, who has made a life for himself on Earth. Together they race against time to thwart an imminent Skrull invasion and save humanity.”
Emilia Clarke joins the cast as G’iah, one of the Skrull radicals who has a particular tie to the MCU’s history. Meanwhile, Cobie Smulders, Ben Mendelsohn, Martin Freeman, and Don Cheadle will reprise their roles. Olivia Colman and Kingsley Ben-Adir are the fresh faces in the MCU.
The show’s lead writer and executive producer is Kyle Bradstreet, while Ali Selim is directing the show. The executive producers of the show are Kevin Feige, Jonathan Schwartz, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, and Brad Winderbaum. The show is scheduled to launch on Disney+ on June 21, 2023.
