Marvel’s Secret Invasion Will Delve Into the Private Life of Nick Fury

No Comments

Nick Fury has been a mainstay of the MCU for the past fourteen years, but the Disney+ series Secret Invasion will feature more than just the mysterious S.H.I.E.L.D. agent fighting evil. In keeping with the notion that this is most assuredly a Nick Fury story, Samuel L. Jackson has stated that the forthcoming Marvel Studios Disney+ series will delve into the private life of Fury. Ben Mendelsohn, who plays Talos, Cobie Smulders, who plays Maria Hill, Martin Freeman, who plays Everett K. Ross, and Don Cheadle, who plays James Rhodes, will all be there as well.

Previous sources have suggested that Secret Invasion will be set during the Blip, which would bridge a chronological gap between events in Fury. It’s safe to assume that the series will explain why Fury is off-world at the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home and why Talos is posing as Fury throughout those events. Jackson elaborated on the events of the season and how they will reveal Fury’s frailties during their discussion at THR’s TV Drama Actor Roundtable. What he actually stated was:

“Well, I can live a complete life as Nick Fury that isn’t Nick Fury at work. Nick Fury is getting on in years, so I’m taking you home with me so you can watch what happens when I’m by myself, weak, or without my back brace. That’s what movies are for, and when you get to do it in extended form, you get to demonstrate that even superheroes have their down moments. “Things you can do that you can’t ordinarily do because the character has to present this type of front when that’s occurring.”

Secret Invasion Has An All-Star Cast

Secret Invasion is a great addition to the MCU’s television canon because it has both returning franchise stars and a slew of new major names. Kingsley Ben-Adir has joined the production as the main adversary, and Olivia Colman, a Golden Globe winner from Great Britain, will also portray an antagonistic character. Emilia Clarke, fresh off a decade-long run in “long-running franchise” role in “Game of Thrones,” hopes to add the MCU to her list, where she will be joined by Killian Scott, Christopher McDonald, and Carmen Ejogo.

Drawing inspiration from the same-named comic book arc, Secret Invasion is rumored to focus on an alien invasion of Earth by the Skrulls, the shape-shifting aliens who were first presented as foes in Captain Marvel but eventually became her allies. Based on what we know about the show’s setting in time so far, it appears that this infiltration into Earth’s life will occur around the time that Thanos blipped away half the world.

With filming having wrapped up in April and no teasers for a release date having been published, it now appears likely that Secret Invasion will be among the many episodes launching on Disney+ in 2023.
