Marvel Cinematic Universe television series

Secret Invasion is an American television miniseries created by Kyle Bradstreet for the streaming service Disney+, based on the Marvel Comics storyline of the same name. It is the ninth television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) produced by Marvel Studios, sharing continuity with the films of the franchise. It follows Nick Fury and Talos as they uncover a conspiracy by a group of shapeshifting Skrulls to conquer Earth. Bradstreet serves as the head writer with Ali Selim directing.

Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn reprise their respective roles as Fury and Talos from previous MCU media, with Kingsley Ben-Adir, Killian Scott, Samuel Adewunmi, Dermot Mulroney, Richard Dormer, Emilia Clarke, Olivia Colman, Don Cheadle, Charlayne Woodard, Christopher McDonald, and Katie Finneran also starring. Development on the series began by September 2020, with Bradstreet and Jackson attached. The title and premise of the series, along with Mendelsohn's return, were revealed that December. Additional casting occurred throughout March and April 2021, followed by the hiring of Selim to direct the series that May. Filming began in London by September 2021 and wrapped in late April 2022, with additional filming around England.

Secret Invasion premiered on June 21, 2023, and will consist of six episodes. It is the first series of Phase Five of the MCU.

Premise

Nick Fury works with Talos, a shapeshifting alien Skrull, to uncover a conspiracy by a group of renegade Skrulls led by Gravik who plan to gain control of Earth by posing as different humans around the world.[2][3]

Cast and characters

  • 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 for years before returning to Earth.[4][5] Fury has been away from Earth so long in part because he is worn out and uncertain of his place in the world following the events of Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019).[2] Jackson said the series would delve deeper into Fury's past and future, and allowed him to "explore something other than the badassery of who Nick Fury is" including the toll of his job on his personal life.[6][7] He continued that Secret Invasion allowed him to work out some new elements of the character that his previous appearances in the MCU had not.[7] Executive producer Jonathan Schwartz added that "sins from [Fury's] past start to haunt him once again" given the things he had to do to protect Earth in the past have ramifications.[2]
  • Ben Mendelsohn as Talos: The former leader of the Skrulls and an ally of Fury.[8]
  • Kingsley Ben-Adir as Gravik:
    The leader of a group of rebel Skrulls who has broken away from Talos and believe the best way to help their kind is to infiltrate Earth for the resources they need. He sets up his operation in a decommissioned radioactive site in Russia,[2] and has a hatred for most of the Skrulls working for him, believing them to be idiots. Ben-Adir worked to find the proper level of hatred to portray in each scene, since he felt Gravik trusts no one and hates everyone but still needs the other Skrulls to accomplish his goals.[9] Director Ali Selim said Gravik was not a terrorist or "just a bad guy with a bomb" and the series would explore the reasons for his actions.[10] Lucas Persaud portrays Gravik as a child.[11]
  • Killian Scott as Pagon: A rebel Skrull and Gravik's second-in-command. Ben-Adir said Gravik sees that Pagon has ambition and wants to be a leader, but "he doesn't have the guts to take it".[9]
  • Samuel Adewunmi as Beto: A rebel Skrull recruit.[12]
  • Dermot Mulroney as Ritson: The president of the United States.[13]
  • Richard Dormer as Prescod: A former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who uncovered the Skrulls' plan to invade Earth.[14][12]
  • Emilia Clarke as G'iah:
    Talos's daughter. Clarke described G'iah as having "a kind of punk feeling" to her, adding that being a refugee had "hardened her". She resents Fury since he has not been able to deliver on the promises he made in Captain Marvel (2019) to find the Skrulls a new home.[2] G'iah was previously portrayed as a child in Captain Marvel by Auden L. Ophuls and Harriet L. Ophuls.[15]
  • Olivia Colman as Sonya Falsworth:
    A high-ranking MI6 agent and an old ally of Fury's who looks to protect the United Kingdom's national security interests during the invasion.[2][16] Described as "a more antagonistic presence" in the series, Schwartz said Falsworth could be working either with or against Fury depending on their desired goals.[2]
  • Don Cheadle as James "Rhodey" Rhodes:
    An officer in the U.S. Air Force and an Avenger who operates the War Machine armor.[17] Jackson said Rhodes would be a "political animal" in the series rather than using his armor, with Rhodes serving as the president's "right-hand man".[2] Cheadle noted that this made Rhodes more of an adversary than in his previous MCU appearances, with the character caught between being "a military man following the chain of command" and someone who can go "outside the box".[13]
  • Charlayne Woodard as Priscilla Fury: The wife of Nick Fury who is also a Skrull.[12][additional citation(s) needed]
  • Christopher McDonald as Chris Stearns: A Skrull posing as a news host.[citation needed]
  • Katie Finneran as Rosa Dalton: A scientist working for the Skrulls.[citation needed]

Cobie Smulders and Martin Freeman reprise their respective MCU roles as Maria Hill and Everett K. Ross.[18][19] The first episode reveals that Ross has been replaced by a Skrull infiltrator.[20] Also appearing are Juliet Stevenson as Maria Hill's mother Elizabeth; and Charlotte Baker and Kate Braithwaite as Soren, the wife of Talos and mother of G'iah who was killed by Gravik. Baker portrays Soren's human disguise while Braithwaite portrays her Skrull appearance.[11] Soren was previously portrayed by Sharon Blynn in Captain Marvel and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019).[21] Carmen Ejogo has been cast in an undisclosed role.[22]

Maria Hill arrives to assist Ross, but discovers he is a Skrull and calls Fury, who has been working in space following the Blip.[c] Returning to Earth, Fury learns that Talos has been exiled from the Skrull Council and replaced by former ally Gravik, the rebels' leader. Fury is kidnapped by MI6 agents working for his old acquaintance, Sonya Falsworth, who refuses to work with Fury to stop Gravik. Using a bug to eavesdrop on her and the UK's prime minister, Fury and Talos locate a rebel who procured dirty bombs for them, Talos's daughter G'iah. Upon learning the rebels killed her mother Soren, G'iah reveals their plan to attack Vossoyedineniye Square on Unity Day.

Production

Development

In September 2020, Kyle Bradstreet was revealed to be developing a television series for the streaming service Disney+ centered on the Marvel Comics character Nick Fury.[4] The character had previously been one of ten properties announced in September 2005 by Marvel Entertainment chairman and CEO Avi Arad as being developed for film by the newly formed studio Marvel Studios, after Marvel received financing to produce the slate of films to be distributed by Paramount Pictures;[25] Andrew W. Marlowe was hired to write a script for a Nick Fury film in April 2006.[26] In April 2019, after Samuel L. Jackson had portrayed Nick Fury in ten Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films as well as the Marvel Television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Richard Newby from The Hollywood Reporter felt it was time the character received his own film, calling the character "the MCU's most powerful asset yet to be fully untapped".[27] Jackson was attached to reprise his role in Bradstreet's series, with the latter writing and serving as executive producer.[4]

In December 2020, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige officially announced a new series titled Secret Invasion, with Jackson co-starring with Ben Mendelsohn in his MCU role of Talos. The series is based on the 2008–09 comic book storyline of the same name,[8] with Feige describing it as a "crossover event series" that would tie-in with future MCU films;[28][29] the series' official premise further described it as a crossover event series.[30] Marvel Studios chose to make a Secret Invasion series instead of a film because it allowed them to do something different than they had done before.[31] The series was set to consist of six hour-long episodes,[7] and directors were being lined up by April 2021.[32] Thomas Bezucha and Ali Selim were attached to direct the series a month later. Reports said they would either split the episodes evenly, or one would direct four episodes and the other would direct two.[33] However, Bezucha left the series before production began,[34] and Selim ultimately directed all six episodes.[3][10] Marvel Studios' Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Brad Winderbaum, and Jonathan Schwartz served as executive producers on the series alongside Jackson, Selim, Bradstreet, and Brian Tucker.[3]

Writing

Bradstreet, Tucker, Brant Englestein, and Roxanne Paredes served as writers on the series.[23] Feige said the series would not be looking to match the scope of the Secret Invasion comic book storyline, in terms of the number of characters featured or the impact on the wider universe, considering the comic book featured more characters than the crossover film Avengers: Endgame (2019).[35] Instead, he described Secret Invasion as a showcase for Jackson and Mendelsohn that would explore the political paranoia elements of the Secret Invasion comic series "that was great with the twists and turns that that took".[31][35] The creatives were also inspired by the Cold War-era espionage novels of John le Carré, the television series Homeland (2011–2020) and The Americans (2013–2018),[2] and the film The Third Man (1949). Selim said the series transitions at times between espionage noir and a Western, highlighting the film The Searchers (1956) as a Western inspiration.[10] Feige said the series would serve as a present-day follow-up to the 1990s story of Captain Marvel (2019), alongside that film's sequel The Marvels (2023), but was tonally different from the films.[36][3] Jackson said the series would uncover some of the things that happened during the Blip.[6] Cobie Smulders described the series as "a very grounded, on-this-earth drama" that was "dealing with real human issues and dealing with trust".[37] Discussing the Skrulls, shapeshifting green-skinned extra-terrestrials who can perfectly simulate any human being at will, Jackson felt their inclusion introduced "a political aspect" in that their ability to shape-shift makes people question who can be trusted and "What happens when people get afraid and don't understand other people? You can't tell who's innocent and who's guilty in this particular instance."[2]

Casting

Jackson was expected to reprise his role in the series with the reveal of its development in September 2020.[4] When the series was officially announced that December, Feige confirmed Jackson's casting and announced that Mendelsohn would co-star.[8] Kingsley Ben-Adir was cast as the Skrull Gravik, the "lead villain" role, in March 2021,[38][2] and the following month, Olivia Colman was cast as Sonya Falsworth,[39][16] along with Emilia Clarke as Talos's daughter G'iah,[40][2] and Killian Scott as Gravik's second-in-command Pagon.[40][41][9] In May 2021, Christopher McDonald joined the cast as a newscaster, a newly created character rather than one from the comics, who had the potential to appear in other MCU series and films.[41][12] The character was based on real-life newscaster Tucker Carlson.[12] Carmen Ejogo had joined the cast by November 2021,[22] and the next month, Smulders was set to reprise her MCU role as Maria Hill.[18] In February 2022, set photos revealed that Don Cheadle would appear in his MCU role of James "Rhodey" Rhodes, along with Dermot Mulroney as United States President Ritson.[42][43][44][13] The following month, Jackson confirmed that Martin Freeman and Cheadle would appear in the series, with Freeman reprising his MCU role as Everett K. Ross.[19][17] In September 2022, it was revealed that Charlayne Woodard was cast in the series as Fury's wife Priscilla.[45][3][12]

Samuel Adewunmi and Katie Finneran were revealed as part of the cast in March 2023,[3] with Adewunmi as the Skrull Beto.[12] Richard Dormer appears as Agent Prescod.[14]

In September 2021, Chloe Bennet, who portrayed Daisy Johnson / Quake in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., stated that she was not involved in the series, after "rampant speculation" suggested she would be, given the character's prominence in the Marvel Comics story and that Bennet was no longer attached to the live-action Powerpuff Girls pilot by August 2021 because of scheduling conflicts with another project.[46][47]

Design

Sets and costumes

Frank Walsh serves as production designer, while Claire Anderson serves as costume designer.[48] In Secret Invasion, Fury does not wear his signature eyepatch, which Jackson noted was a character choice. He explained, "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." Additionally, Smulders explained her evolved costume from her earliest appearances, going from a "glossy and ready for action" look of platform knee-high boots and a skintight leotard in the Avengers films, to a more casual look with jeans and t-shirts for the series.[2]

Title sequence

The opening title sequence was created by Method Studios using generative artificial intelligence, which prompted significant backlash online. Some commentators felt this was particular poor timing given the series was released during the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike for which the use of artificial intelligence over real people was a key issue.[49] Method Studios issued a statement in response to criticism stating that none of their artists had been replaced with artificial intelligence for the sequence and that the technology, both existing and custom built for this series, was just one tool that their team used to achieve a specific final look. The statement elaborated that many elements in the sequence were created using traditional tools and techniques, and the artificial intelligence technology was just used to add an "otherworldly and alien look" which the creative team felt "perfectly aligned with the project's overall theme and the desired aesthetic".[50]

Filming

Filming had begun by September 1, 2021, in London,[51] under the working title Jambalaya,[52][53] with Selim directing the series,[3] and Remi Adefarasin serving as cinematographer.[48] Filming was previously expected to begin in mid-August 2021.[54] Jackson began filming his scenes on October 14,[55] after already working on The Marvels which was filming in London at the same time.[56] Filming occurred in West Yorkshire, England, including Leeds on January 22,[57] Huddersfield on January 24,[58] and in Halifax at Piece Hall from January 24 to 31, 2022.[53] Filming occurred at the Liverpool Street station on February 28, 2022.[42][43][44] Soundstage work occurred at Pinewood Studios on seven of its stages,[59][third-party source needed] as well as Hallmark House.[60] Filming wrapped on April 25, 2022.[61] Additional filming was also expected to occur across Europe.[32]

Jackson revealed in mid-June 2022 that he would return to London in August to work on reshoots for Secret Invasion, after doing the same for The Marvels.[62] McDonald was returning to London by the end of July for the reshoots, which he said were to make the series "better" and to go "much deeper than before". He also indicated that a new writer was brought on to the production to work on the additional material.[63] Jackson completed his reshoots by August 12, 2022,[64] while Clarke filmed scenes in London at the end of September.[65] Eben Bolter served as the cinematographer during additional photography which lasted for four months.[1]

Post-production

Pete Beaudreau, Melissa Lawson Cheung, Drew Kilcoin,[11] and James Stanger serve as editors,[66] while Georgina Street serves as the visual effects producer and Aharon Bourland as the visual effects supervisor.[11]

Music

In February 2023, Kris Bowers was revealed to be composing for the series, and was working on the score at that time.[67] The film's main title track, "Nick Fury (Main Title Theme)", was released digitally as a single by Marvel Music and Hollywood Records on June 20.[68]

Marketing

The first footage of the series debuted on Disney+ Day on November 12, 2021.[22] More footage was shown in July 2022 at San Diego Comic-Con. Adam B. Vary of Variety said the footage had an "overall vibe... of paranoia and foreboding", believing the series would fit with the larger "anti-heroic thread" building in Phase Five of the MCU.[69] The first trailer for the series debuted at the 2022 D23 Expo in September 2022. Polygon's Austen Goslin felt the trailer was "mostly a recap of the series' plot",[70] while Vanity Fair's Anthony Breznican noted how Fury had both eyes and said he "appears to be done relying on others to help save the world".[71] Tamera Jones from Collider felt the trailer was "action-packed with explosions and intrigue, giving off more of a spy vibe than a fun paranoid mystery".[72]

The second trailer debuted during Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN on April 2, 2023.[3] Edidiong Mboho of Collider felt the trailer "evokes the thrill and excitement" like the first one and provided the "same sense of urgency and paranoia from the Skrull infiltration". Mboho lauded the trailer for featuring the all-star cast of the series "without giving too much away" of its plot.[73] Dais Johnston of Inverse felt that every shot of the trailer provided a "flashy-but-gritty spy-fi story that swaps out the powers and wisecracks of past works for the ingenuity and strategy Nick Fury is known for".[74] Sam Barsanti of The A.V. Club said the trailer featured "more of the physical and psychological toll that life in general has taken on Fury".[75] In early June 2023, a viral marketing website was created for the series that featured a five-minute clip from the first episode and a new trailer for the series. The locked website was initially revealed through cryptic images tweeted on the series' official Twitter account, which included clues to form the password that allowed access to it.[14]

Release

A red carpet premiere event for Secret Invasion was held in Los Angeles on June 13, 2023.[76] The series debuted on Disney+ on June 21, 2023,[3] and will consist of six episodes.[31] It was previously expected to release within early 2023.[69] It is the first series of Phase Five of the MCU.[77]

Reception

Audience viewership

According to Whip Media's TV Time, Secret Invasion was the most watched original series across all platforms in the United States, during the week of June 25, 2023.[78]

Critical response

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 63%, with an average score of 6.6/10, based on 120 reviews. The site's critic's consensus states: "A well-deserved showcase for Samuel L. Jackson, Secret Invasion steadies itself after a somewhat slow start by taking the MCU in a darker, more mature direction."[79] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the series a score of 63 out of 100 based on 24 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews."[80]

Richard Newby at Empire gave the series 4 out of 5 stars, feeling that it was "a riveting, tense drama that gifts its actors with weighty material and encourages its audience to look beyond the sheen of superheroism." Newby found the series had taken a "sharp turn" from the sense of comfort of previous MCU projects due to the depiction of mature themes, such as terrorism and torture.[81]

Accolades

Secret Invasion received a nomination for Best Fantasy Adventure for a TV/Streaming Series (Trailer/Teaser/TV Spot) at the 2023 Golden Trailer Awards.[82]

Future

In September 2022, Feige stated that Secret Invasion would lead into Armor Wars, with Cheadle set to reprise his role as Rhodes.[83][84]
