Secret Invasion reunites Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn in the next new Marvel Studios series coming to Disney+. Announced by Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige during Disney Investor Day 2020 on Thursday, Secret Invasion sees the small screen returns of super-spy Nick Fury (Jackson) and the shapeshifting Skrull Talos (Mendelsohn). Both appeared together in the big screen Captain Marvel, where they allied with the cosmic-powered Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), and again in last summer’s Spider-Man: Far From Home, where Talos posed as an Earthbound Fury while the former SHIELD director eyed a new endeavor off-planet.
Secret Invasion pulls from the 2008 Marvel Comics crossover of the same name, where the heroes of the Marvel Universe discover some of their friends and foes have been secretly replaced by Skrulls, a shapeshifting alien race. The invasion sees the Skrull Empress Veranke imbed herself inside the Avengers, where she sows division as superhero factions grow distrustful towards even their closest allies.
