Secret Invasion was announced during the recent Disney Investors Day along with several other planned Disney+ shows, but the small screen adaptation of Brian Michael Bendis' acclaimed comic run is arguably the most highly-anticipated of the bunch.
Captain Marvel 2 stars Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) and Ben Mendelsohn (Talos) will return for the series, which will adapt - on a much smaller scale - the story of the Skrull invasion of Earth.
Kevin Feige has already explained how the show will differ from the comics (there won't be nearly as many characters, for a start), and the Marvel Studios chief has now teased the return of the shape-shifting aliens introduced in Captain Marvel 2, along with the "political paranoia aspect" of the story.
“I mean, we're interested in the political paranoia aspect of Secret Invasion and really showcasing the stars with Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn, two amazing actors that you want to have in any series, and we're very lucky to have them for that. That's the sort of primary focus of that and, of course, it will tie into other things and the Skrulls in ways you haven't seen before, but yes, anything could be anything. Wise words… But we wanted to do that as a series because it would allow us to do something different than we've done before.”
Of course, Feige is referencing the fact that the Skrulls can change form and impersonate anyone they choose, which means some established MCU characters might well be revealed as sleeper agents.
How do you guys feel about such a major Marvel event playing out on the small screen? Do you think any beloved heroes will turn out to be Skrulls? Drop us a comment down below.
