With a full month to go earlier than Secret Invasion, it’s about that point for Marvel to begin stepping up its promo recreation. Disney’s put out a brand new business for the upcoming miniseries that gives a deeper have a look at the espionage at play by the Skrulls and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). In contrast to the final couple of alien invasions, he doesn’t really feel the necessity to name within the Avengers to assist with this—as he gravely intones, he must be the one to deal with this. (Which he apparently can’t do with out his eyepatch.)
Impressed by the 2007 comedian e-book arc by Lenil Francis Yu and Brian Michael Bendis, Secret Invasion sees Fury come out of hiding to take care of the rising Skrull downside. The shapeshifting aliens first got here to Earth within the 90s as refugees in Captain Marvel, and within the final 30 years have began changing key figures across the globe. With the assistance of Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) and his Skrull BFF Talos (Ben Mendelsohn), Fury has to determine who’s actually who they are saying they’re and reduce the invasion off on the head.
And meaning lots of spy work that the MCU hasn’t totally gone again to since Captain America: The Winter Soldier practically a decade in the past. The promo has lots of the spy thriller beats you’d count on, from grabbing weapons out of secret compartments to shootouts in the course of the road and a helicopter getting shot down. However the massive query surrounding the present is that if it’ll have the ability to hit its “anybody could possibly be a Skrull” plotline as arduous when it’s counting on the MCU’s supporting human characters slightly than the massive roster of superheroes within the supply materials.
Additionally starring Kingsley Ben-Adir, Emilia Clarke, Martin Freeman, and Olivia Colman, Secret Invasion premieres June 21 on Disney+.
