Marvel Studios released the first trailer for Secret Invasion during D23 and it quickly became apparent that the Disney+ series is taking a different approach to the story it's named after.
Whereas that was a huge comic book event pitting Earth's Mightiest Heroes against an army of Skrulls, the TV show will focus on Nick Fury as he seemingly attempts to stop the alien shape-shifters from infiltrating Earth. A story like that is definitely exciting, of course, though we do hope Marvel Studios plans to use this concept for more than a one-and-done series.
After all, Captain Marvel barely did the epic Kree/Skrull War justice, and these stories all feel far too important to be overshadowed by everything else that's happening in The Multiverse Saga.
Regardless, we now have some new photos from the set of Secret Invasion as reshoots begin taking place in London, England. Emilia Clarke's mystery character - who has previously been rumoured to be playing a Skrull called G'iah - appears to be in Russia, hiding out in the back of a meat truck before being pursued by some pretty shady-looking operatives.
Without further context, it's hard to say what's going on here or how much these additional scenes will change what we see from the show. However, it all seems to fit in nicely with what we know about the tone and the fact this is more a spy thriller than a superhero blockbuster.
"Secret Invasion is a newly announced series heading to Disney+ that stars Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as the Skrull Talos, characters who first met in Captain Marvel," reads an official synopsis for the show. "The crossover event series showcases a faction of shape-shifting Skrulls who have been infiltrating Earth for years."
