'Secret Invasion' Unveiled: Samuel L. Jackson's Fury and Queen Veranke steal the spotlight
Samuel L. Jackson returns as Nick Fury in Marvel's upcoming 'Secret Invasion' series, teaming up with Skrull Talos to take on shape-shifting Skrulls on Earth.
Disney+ Day was a Marvel-ous affair with a tantalizing peek at the upcoming 'Secret Invasion' series, as reported by Deadline. Amidst the exhilarating sequences from 'Ms. Marvel', 'She-Hulk', and 'Moon Knight', two familiar faces caught the fans' eyes: Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury and a possible Queen Veranke.
Unveiled first at Disney Investor last December, 'Secret Invasion' spotlights the unlikely team-up of 'Avengers' boss Nick Fury and 'Captain Marvel's Skrull Talos, played by the inimitable Ben Mendelsohn. The series promises to take us into the heart of a shape-shifting Skrull faction that has been covertly infiltrating Earth for years.
In the grand tradition of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, 'Secret Invasion' draws from the mid-credit sequences of both 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' and 'WandaVision'. Remember the reveal that Fury and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) were really Skrulls, Talos and Soren? In 'Far From Home', it wasn't Fury and Hill who conscripted Spider-Man, but Talos and Soren. Meanwhile, the real Fury was on a space odyssey with Skrulls.
Furthermore, the 'WandaVision' post-credits scene unveiled Monica Rambeau being recruited by a Skrull for a clandestine mission. All these narratives interweave to form the potent plot of 'Secret Invasion'.
Inspired by the comics penned by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by Leinil Francis Yu, 'Secret Invasion' boosts its star power with the likes of Emilia Clarke, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Olivia Colman, Carmen Ejogo, Christopher McDonald, and Killian Scott. With Jonathan Schwartz producing, it's all systems go for this highly anticipated series.
As we look back on Disney+ Day, the initial glimpse of 'Secret Invasion' renews the intrigue and excitement surrounding this Marvel series. It's clear that 'Secret Invasion' is set to shape-shift our expectations, led by the indomitable Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury.
