It’s time for us MCU fans to get ready for yet another ride as the Secret Invasion is coming to Disney+. The miniseries will release on Disney+ on June 21, 2023.
Secret Invasion is one of the most anticipated shows coming from Marvel Studios, as it will adapt the epic comic book storyline that shook the Marvel Universe to its core. The awaited series will reveal that some of the most beloved heroes and villains have been secretly replaced by shape-shifting aliens known as Skrulls for years.
Who can you trust? Who is a Skrull? And what is their ultimate plan? If you’ve been wondering all that and more, we are here to tell you everything you need to know about Marvel’s Secret Invasion, including its release date, plot, and episode count before the first episode drops in a day or two!
1. Secret Invasion Release Date
The first episode of Secret Invasion will release on June 21, followed by five more episodes on Wednesdays. This is the standard release schedule for the MCU’s series, most likely to enhance the effect of the story and character twists.
However, Marvel will soon try a different approach. Echo, another Disney+ series, will drop all six episodes on November 29. This is an intriguing move, but Secret Invasion may benefit more from the gradual reveal of its mystery elements until the finale on July 26.
2. Secret Invasion Plot
Secret Invasion follows Nick Fury and his allies as they uncover a covert invasion of Earth by a faction of shapeshifting aliens called Skrulls. The Skrulls have been secretly replacing some of the most influential heroes and villains for years, creating a massive conspiracy that threatens the fate of the world.
Fury learns of the invasion after he returns from his space station, where he has been working with the Skrulls to protect the galaxy. He joins forces with Everett Ross, a CIA operative and liaison to Wakanda, Maria Hill, his loyal ally and former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and Talos, a Skrull leader who has been living as Fury’s double on Earth.
Together, they race against time to expose and stop the Skrull plot before it’s too late. The series is based on the comic book storyline of the same name, but with some changes to fit the MCU continuity. For example, the Skrull invasion is led by Gravik, a rebel Skrull leader who wants to overthrow the Skrull Empire and take over Earth, rather than Veranke, the Skrull princess who believes Earth is their rightful home.
3. Secret Invasion Episode Count
Secret Invasion is a miniseries that will consist of six-episodes. It is unlikely to have a second season, given its nature as a miniseries.
The number of episodes is consistent with most MCU shows on Disney+. Drama shows like Secret Invasion usually have six episodes, similar to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Loki season 1.
4. Secret Invasion Cast and Character Details
Secret Invasion features a stellar cast of actors from the MCU and beyond. The series stars Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who has been working with the Skrulls in space, and Ben Mendelsohn as Talos, the Skrull leader who has been impersonating Fury on Earth.
They are joined by Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, Fury’s loyal ally and former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Martin Freeman as Everett K. Ross, a CIA operative and liaison to Wakanda, and Don Cheadle as James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes/War Machine, a military officer and friend of Iron Man.
The series also introduces new characters played by acclaimed actors, such as Olivia Colman as Sonya Falsworth, a British special agent, Kingsley Ben-Adir as Gravik, a rebel Skrull leader, and Emilia Clarke as G’iah, a mysterious Skrull warrior.
