SECRET INVASION: Disney Says Regé-Jean Page Is NOT In The Series Despite Naming Him In Recent Press Release

Saturday night was a busy one for news, and while we shared the official synopses for various Phase 4 projects with you, there was one detail we overlooked with Secret Wars. 

In a press release sent out shortly after Marvel Studios' Hall H presentation concluded, it was noted that, "'Secret Invasion' stars Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as the Skrull Talos - characters who first met in 'Captain Marvel.' They are joined by Kingsley Ben-Adir, Emilia Clarke, Olivia Colman and Regé-Jean Page."

Does one of those names stand out to you? 

Regé-Jean Page is Bridgerton's breakout star, and an actor who has lined up a number of noteworthy roles since leaving the Netflix series (including The Gray Man and Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves). What we didn't know was that Page had booked an MCU role in this upcoming Disney+ series. 

Bizarrely, Disney has now reached out to TV Line to claim that he was mentioned in that cast list due to a "typographical error." That's one hell of an error, and we can't quite figure out how his name would be randomly added to Secret Invasion's list of confirmed cast members. 

The crossover event series showcases a faction of shapeshifting Skrulls who have been infiltrating Earth for years, and we can't help but wonder whether Page's involvement was meant to be a surprise. After all, this is the equivalent of Marvel Studios mentioning Harry Styles in a cast list prior to the Eternals' release or Charlize Theron being named as part of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' ensemble before the sequel landed in theaters. 

Only time will tell whether this really was an error, but we're not buying what Disney is selling with this denial! It's not like Secret Invasion's cast includes anyone with a similar name to Regé-Jean Page.

Now we know the show will be the second Marvel Studios project heading our way next year, something tells us more details will be revealed during September's Disney+ Day. 

Who do you think Page could play in the MCU if he's appearing in Secret Invasion?
