Production is now underway in Leeds on Marvel's Secret Invasion, and on the heels of our first look at Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) and Emilia Clarke (?) on set, more photos and videos have now been shared online giving us a glimpse of some other cast members.
We recently learned that Cobie Smulders would be reprising the role of Maria Hill, and the How I Met Your Mother actress can be seen shooting a scene with Clarke (whoever the latter is playing, she appears to be friendly with the former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent). We also have a shot of Smulders having blood applied to her nose, which suggests Hill is going to get into a bit of scrape at some point.
Another video shows Ben Mendelsohn, who will return as Captain Marvel's Skrull freedom fighter Talos, arriving to the set.
Plot details are still under wraps, but we do know that that the show will follow the basic premise of the comic book by focusing on "an infiltration of Skrulls on Earth" (no big surprises there).
One Night In Miami star Kingsley Ben-Adir will play the lead villain. We don't know who that'll be, but Dorrek VII, Emperor of the Skrull Empire, is a strong possibility. The cast will also include Olivia Coleman (The Favorite, The Lost Daughter) in an undisclosed role.
Thomas Bezucha (Let Him Go) and Ali Selim (The Looming Tower) have been tapped to helm the upcoming miniseries, which was written by Kyle Bradstreet (Mr. Robot). No official premiere date has been set.
