Imagine a darker agent of SHIELD
During Marvel’s gigantic presentation at San Diego Comic-Con, Kevin Feige released the first trailer for Secret Invasionthe Disney+ series featuring Samuel L. Jackson like Nick Fury. Although Marvel has yet to release the trailer, we saw the trailer in Hall H, which Cobie Smulders prefaced by saying, “It’s a darker show, you guys. We’re going to dig deeper into the characters, and it’s an exciting thriller. You never know if someone is Skrull or human.
The trailer begins with Jackson’s Fury returning to earth via spaceship and the appearance of Smulders’ Maria Hill at a bar, who states that she has been trying unsuccessfully to reach him for years. Maria asks Nick why after all this time he decided to come back, and Nick says there was a problem that needed his attention.
Smulders isn’t exaggerating when she says the series is a darker thriller, as we get a quick glimpse of an intense Ben Mendelsohn like Talos, Emilia Clarke shoot a gun, Kingsley BenAdir with heavy weights that change shape, and Olivia Colman talk to Nick Fury saying “You’re not in shape for this Fury.” We also foresee Don Cheadle like James “Rhodey” Rhodes and Martin Freemanis Everett K. Ross. Secret Invasion certainly looks like one of the darker Disney+ series, almost giving off a Captain America: The Winter Soldier vibe, especially considering the uncertainty of who is a human and who is a Skrull that pervades the trailer. Not to mention actors like Colman and Mendelsohn giving performances intense enough for this darker MCU tale.
Secret Invasion marks Jackson’s first live-action appearance in the MCU since 2019 Spider-Man: Far From Homealthough he did voice work for the Disney+ series, What if…? Jackson will also return for Wonderspremiering on July 28, 2023. Secret Invasion is created by Kyle Bradstreetwho has already written for Mister Robot and Copper. Secret Invasion is led by Thomas Bezucha (Let him go, The family stone) and Ali Selim (The impending tower, Condor).
