When you think of Marvel villains, Welsh accents don’t necessarily come to mind. Well that’s exactly what voice Kingsley Ben-Adir decided to use for the villain, Gravik, in new Disney+ series Secret Invasion.
Gravik is a member of the shapeshifting Skrull race, who hope to gain control of the Earth by posing as different humans around the world. Kingsley said he was inspired by the Cardiff community of Butetown when choosing an accent for his portrayal.
In an interview with Buzzfeed the 37-year-old said: "There's a mixed race community in Butetown, and I just thought that might be a nice way in.” Did you spot Gravik’s Butetown accent in the show? Let us know in the comments.
