Marvel Studios has released the full-length trailer for its “Secret Invasion” series, a six-episode espionage thriller based on the crossover comic event showcasing a faction of shapeshifting Skrulls having infiltrated Earth for years.
Samuel L. Jackson reprises his role as Nick Fury and teams up with Captain Marvel’s Ben Mendelsohn who is returning as Talos – the pseudo-leader of the Skrulls. Other returning MCU veterans include Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, Martin Freeman as Everett Ross, and Don Cheadle as James Rhodes.
They’re joined by Emilia Clarke as Talos’ Skrull daughter G’iah, Kingsley Ben-Adir as resistance leader Gravikm, Olivia Colman as an antagonistic MI6 agent named Sonya Falsworth who is an old ally of Fury. Also onboard are Christopher McDonald, Carmen Ejogo, Charlayne Woodard, Killian Scott and Dermot Mulroney as the President of the United States.
In the series, Nick Fury returns from his extended sojourn into outer space and uncovers a conspiracy to install shapeshifting Skrull double-agents into positions of power around the world. The trailer offers a very dark and grim tone with a determination to avoid FX trappings where possible.
The series is executive produced by Kyle Bradstreet (“Mr. Robot”). Thomas Bezucha (“Let Him Go”) and Ali Selim (“The Looming Tower”) are set as directors.
Marvel’s “Secret Invasion” is set to begin streaming on the Disney+ service from June 21st.
