    Starring Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as Talos, Secret Invasion will showcase a faction of shapeshifting Skrulls (initially introduced in Captain Marvel) who have been infiltrating Earth for years. The series also stars Martin Freeman as Everett Ross and Don Cheadle as James Rhodes / War Machine, and will feature Kingsley Ben-Adir, Emilia Clarke and Olivia Colman in undisclosed roles.

    That looks promising! Cracking cast!

    Olivia Coleman looks to be playing "M" 😄

    But does look good, getting a spy thriller vibe off it, who can you trust etc.

    Sets a lot up for the next phase doesn't it?

    When I read the gist of it earlier in the year, the thought struck me that the Skulls have been taking the place of people with the X gene, (for experimentation or something) which would explain where they have been hiding. Easy to introduce a load of mutants in one go if that is the case.

    I would say so.

    I am by no means an expert on Marvel comics but I have read a lot of the big ones can't wait for them to bring the X-Men etc into the fold properly (I am reading house of M at the minute, before that I read Siege).

    It is also really interesting how they are going to treat the Inhumans going forward. I know the show was really disliked but they are a big part of Marvel. But they changed the Ms Marvel origins to not include them...so I am guessing the show isn't canon.

    Minor spoiler for the recent Dr strange film.

    Though black bolt did pop up in a multiverse!






  • Going for a cold war spy thriller feel just like CATWS and that can only be a good thing.

    Not sure about it; it sure looks more arresting than some of the other MCU shows' pitches - but it'll all come down to the execution. Certainly appears to be talking up a good, conspiratorial and paranoid game. I guess we'll see how it plays out.

    The only part of the trailer I didn't like was "This war is one I have to fight alone"

    Dude, have the last 30 Marvel movies not taught you anything? You're the one who set up the Avengers because you knew people can't always win these things alone.

    "This war is one I have to fight alone ... ... cos the budget can't afford an Avenger".

    I assumed he just meant he couldn't trust anyone because of the shape-shifting aliens ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Was curious to know who's directing this, given it seems a bit less fantastical than other Disney+ projects. Some guy called Ari Selim, whose CV is basically all Television so won't be expecting too much from that front.
