Secret Invasion trailer shows Nick Fury is ready for “one last fight”

After a flood of shows and movies over the past couple of years, Marvel Studios is taking things a little easier in 2023, with just one new piece of content between May’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3 and November’s The Marvels. That one piece would be Disney+ series Secret Invasion, featuring Samuel L. Jackson as superspy and former S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury.

The last time we saw Fury in the MCU he was in outer space, working with a group of shape-shifting aliens called the Skrulls. Now Fury is back on Earth and sporting some pretty serious looking scars on his face as he attempts to deal with some Skrulls who seem a little less interested in being friends.

Joining Jackson in Secret Invasion are returning members of the MCU Cobie Smulders as former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill, Martin Freeman as CIA agent Everett Ross, and Ben Mendelsohn as Skrull leader Talos. Don Cheadle also makes an appearance as Avenger’s member James “Rhodey” Rhodes a.k.a. War Machine.

Also appearing in Secret Invasion and making their MCU debuts are Oscar-winner Olivia Colman, Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke, as well as Kingsley Ben-Adir, best known for his performances in The OA and One Night in Miami.

Not many details as to the story are offered in this trailer but it’s clear there’s a mix of espionage, military action, and plenty of impostering. The Marvel Comics story on which this series is based blew comic readers’ minds back in 2008 when it revealed that many important Marvel characters had in fact been replaced by Skrull imposters for years. Will the MCU deliver similarly stunning revelations this summer?

We’ll find out when the series premieres on Disney+ on June21st.
