Another round of photos from the set of Secret Invasion have surfaced, and one even appears to show what looks like an alien squid! We're not sure what it is, to be honest, but an even more interesting reveal comes in a shot of a newspaper that spotlights a familiar face from the wider MCU.
As you can see, a copy of The National Reporter features a headline that reads, "President Ritson In London For Emergency Talks." We're assuming this has something to do with the Skrull invasion of Earth and the chaos they've thrown the planet into with various political manoeuvres (the Disney+ series has previously been described as an espionage thriller).
Look closely and you'll notice that the President is being met by Colonel James "Rhodey" Rhodes, a.k.a. War Machine.
Is it the real Rhodey or a Skrull imposter? That promises to be part of the fun of this series, while President Rison - who isn't based on a character from the comic books as far as we can tell - may also have a noteworthy role to play here. Don't hold us to this, but that looks an awful lot like actor Dermot Mulroney, best known for starring in New Girl, The Purge, and Arrested Development.
Hopefully, our first official look at Secret Invasion isn't too far off. With Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, and She-Hulk all on the way this year, it could be a while before any more is revealed, unfortunately.
Secret Invasion is set to premiere on Disney+ sometime in 2023.
