Secret Invasion proved to be one of Marvel Studios' more divisive Disney+ shows, and it's probably fair to say that even staunch defenders of the bleak sci-fi thriller were let down by the season finale.
One of the more lambasted aspects of the episode was the climactic battle between the villainous Gravik and Talos' daughter G'iah, who powered-up to become a hugely formidable "Super Skrull," displaying the abilities of various other MCU heroes.
At the end of the finale, G'iah is recruited by senior MI6 agent Sonya Falsworth, which would seem to suggest that there are plans for the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe down the line.
Now, scooper MTTSH is claiming that G'iah will actually return as the leader of her own team of British-based heroes.
There have been several British super-groups in the comics over the years, including the mystical Captain Britain-led Excalibur, but we'd say a version of The Union is a more likely possibility.
Formed back in 2020, this team features a roster that includes Britannia, Kelpie, The Choir, Snakes, Bulldog, and a modern-day incarnation of Union Jack, which was a mantle held by Sonya's (presumed) ancestor James Montgomery Falsworth.
Just a rumor for now, of course, but we have been hearing whispers of a Marvel Studios project spotlighting a team of British characters for while, so this might be worth keeping an eye on.
