Watch the brand new ‘Secret Invasion’ trailer: HERE!

Plotting with all of the techniques of a army marketing campaign, the Marvel staff has been drip-feeding details about its upcoming Disney+ sequence ‘Secret Invasion’, which sees the complete return of Samuel L. Jackson’s eyepatch-sporting (although not at all times right here, extra on that under) robust nut and former S.H.I.E.L.D. boss.

We acquired some character data on Olivia Colman and Emilia Clarke’s ‘Invasion’ characters in a brand new piece simply earlier than the weekend. So naturally, it’s time for a brand new trailer.

What’s the story of ‘Secret Invasion’?

The new sequence catches us up with not solely Fury but in addition the Skrull aliens we met in ‘Captain Marvel’, primarily led by Ben Mendelsohn’s Talos.

Originally believed to be a risk, they had been truly revealed as refugees from a catastrophic struggle with the extra harmful race referred to as the Kree (for whom Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers initially fought earlier than realizing their much less pleasant nature and serving to Fury combat them alongside Talos).

Yet many years later, the Skrulls haven’t obtained what humanity promised –– entry to a brand new homeworld of their very own and actual assist –– so there may be now a faction devoted to taking what they’re owed, however duplicity or power.

Led by Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir), the group makes use of their shape-changing powers to wreak havoc. And amongst their quantity is somebody near Talos (spoiler alert: it’s his daughter, G’iah, performed by ‘Game of Thrones’ veteran Emilia Clarke.)

To fight this risk, Fury turns to not his Avengers-level super-friends (the trailer makes some extent of that, so maybe the sequence will clarify his pondering) however to some extra down-to-Earth associates, together with Talos, loyal lieutenant Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) and Everett Ok. Ross (Martin Freeman).

And sitting squarely in between the 2 sides of the battle we’ve got Olivia Colman’s character, Special Agent Sonya Falsworth, a high-ranking member of Britain’s intelligence service MI6 (assume the real-world group that employs James Bond in a complete different fictional universe). She’s apparently been each good friend and foe to Nick Fury up to now.

Casting-wise, we’ll additionally see Carmen Ejogo, Christopher McDonald, and Marvel veteran Don Cheadle, again as James Rhodes, right here in additional of a political functionality than his ordinary War Machine model (although we’d be shocked if he didn’t swimsuit up in some unspecified time in the future).

What’s up with Nick Fury in ‘Secret Invasion’?

Oh, and speaking of a modified model, Fury additionally has an altered have a look at occasions –– he’s not at all times carrying his trademark eyepatch, which covers a broken eye.

Says Jackson, chatting with Vanity Fair:

“He just doesn’t wear the patch. The patch is part of who the strong Nick Fury was. It’s part of his vulnerability now. You can look at it and see he’s not this perfectly indestructible person. He doesn’t feel like that guy.”

The sequence guarantees to be extra of a worldwide political spy thriller, albeit with the alien overtones and naturally wholesome dollops of MCU lore. But it’ll be a private mission for Fury, who has been off-planet because the occasions of ‘Avengers: Endgame’ and realizes that he’s been out of contact in additional methods than one. And kicking some scheming alien butt would possibly simply be his approach to make contact once more.

Here’s what government producer government producer Jonathan Schwartz says about Fury:

“Sins from his past start to haunt him once again. We often see Nick Fury doing the right thing. We don’t always see him doing it in a perfectly morally correct way. All of those things have ramifications. Without getting too specific, the things that Nick Fury’s had to do to protect the Earth have costs.”

And right here’s extra from Jackson:

“Nick had a whole Skrull spy network because they could shape-shift and go places that people couldn’t go. They kept their word. They worked for him, but he hasn’t done what he said he was going to do. They want a home. They want to live. They want to live like they are. They want to live in their skin. They don’t want to live in ours.”

‘Secret Invasion’ kicks off on Disney+ on June 21st.

In other Marvel news, there has been another change behind the scenes on the movie front.

‘Fantastic Four’, the proper introduction (following John Krasinski’s cameo as leader Reed Richards in ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’) of the classic comic book characters to the MCU has ‘WandaVision’ director Matt Shakman aboard, and Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer on script duty, but a change is being made.

While Kaplan and Springer are more known for comedy writing, Josh Friedman has some big sci-fi bona fides.

What has Josh Friedman worked on?

Most recently, Friedman was part of James Cameron’s writing team for the ‘Avatar’ sequels (he has a story credit on ‘The Way of Water’). He’s also worked on the script for next year’s ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’.
