Secret Invasion (2023)

Marvel/Disney's Secret Invasion dives deeply into Nick Fury's past

Secret Invasion is a superhero spy action-adventure series produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Disney. The series is created by Kyle Bradstreet, who worked as a writer and producer on the critically acclaimed series Mr. Robot. The series is based on the 2008 Marvel comic book storyline of the same title by Brian Michael Bendis. In the story, a rebel group of Skrulls becomes tired of waiting for Nick Fury to make good on his promise to find them a planet to call home. They begin to infiltrate Earth's most powerful positions, and it's up to Fury and his allies to stop them while confronting their own failures. 

The series centres around the legendary former director of the intelligence agency S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury, played once more by Samuel L. Jackson. The series dives much more heavily into Fury's background than viewers had previously seen. Joining Jackson is Ben Mendelsohn, as Fury’s ally and Skrull leader, Talos. Cobie Smulders plays Maria Hill, another Fury ally and a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. Emilia Clarke joins the MCU as G’iah, Talos' daughter. Olivia Colman also joins the cast as Sonya Falsworth, another of Fury’s allies. Martin Freeman reprises his role as the ex-CIA agent Everett K. Ross, and Don Cheadle features as James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes (aka War Machine). Kingsley Ben-Adir plays Gravik, the leader of the Skrull rebels who are causing trouble on Earth. Christopher McDonald also features.
