Nick Fury is going to need all the help he can get against the Skrulls’ secret invasion. Thankfully, he can count on Cobie Smulders reprising her role as Maria Hill.
The Skrulls are shape-shifting beings that can masquerade as anybody. Yes, even (and especially) our beloved superheroes.
While the Skrulls have been infiltrating Earth for a long, long time, the MCU only introduced their presence in Captain Marvel. A second nod came their way in Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Secret Invasion is quite an extensive, immersive arc that connected a range of different characters like the Mighty Avengers, Fantastic Four, New Avengers, and more.
As details for the show are still scant, it is left to see how the show will adapt the storyline to fit the MCU. All we know for now is that Nick Fury, aided by Talos, is on the hunt for Skrulls impersonating superheroes and posing a threat to the world.
Joining them is the impressive cast made up of Olivia Colman, Emilia Clarke, Christopher McDonald, and Killian Scott, with Kingsley Ben-Adir as the lead villain.
While Hill has appeared in a few episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and a bunch of MCU movies (The Avengers, Age of Ultron, Infinity War, and Endgame, to name a few), she hasn’t been in the limelight in any of these projects.
I’d love to see the show focus a little more on Hill, given that her character was heavily involved in the Secret Invasion storyline in the comics.
Ms Marvel, Moon Knight, and She-Hulk are all reported to release before Secret Invasion. So, if the show does premiere in 2022, it will be sometime during the last quarter.
The good news is that Secret Invasion had already begun filming this September. So while we won’t get a trailer anytime soon, we can rest assured that at least the production is on schedule.
