Ever since Captain Marvel’s solo movie in 2019, where Skrulls played a major plot role, this alien race has been slightly pushed into the background - now they are about to take the spotlight again. As the trailer hinted, they are slowly infiltrating Earth, posing as different people, taking on their faces and slowly taking over.
Right at the beginning, Maria Hill reveals Fury wasn’t present on Earth for a very long time, which only raises more questions. How long has Fury been gone? What was his purpose in space? Most importantly, is it possible he has been replaced by a Skrull himself, and for how long (much like in Spiderman - No Way Home)? From what we know, Fury has a certain allyship with the Skrulls and is a part of something bigger that will hopefully be revealed in the Secret Invasion.
The series seems like a breath of fresh air amongst the current shows we know and apart from a gripping storyline we can look forward to some new and returning characters. In the trailer we can see Don Cheadle as James Rhodes, Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill and for the first time we will be seeing Emilia Clarke in her new role. However, given their close connection to this storyline, can we also expect an appearance of Carol Danvers or Monica Rambeau?
This Disney+ miniseries features Nick Fury, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., as the main character and is scheduled to come out sometime in 2023, but the exact date is still unknown.
