Earlier within the week, Marvel lastly pulled again the curtain on Secret Invasion, one of many many Disney+ exhibits they’ve nonetheless obtained within the pipeline. Primarily based on a 2008 comedian e book occasion from Brian Michael Bendis and Lenil Francis Yu, the collection will see a returning Nick Fury uncover that the Skrulls from Captain Marvel have been placing themselves in highly effective positions all around the world. That means we’re as soon as once more within the paranoid espionage thriller house, one thing the MCU hasn’t finished in a few years, relying on the way you view Black Widow.
In case you’ve forgotten, because it’s been fairly awhile since Captain Marvel got here out, Skrulls can shapeshift into anybody (perhaps something?) they need. They had been one thing of an endangered species in that film, however because it’s been a number of in-universe many years since we final noticed them within the MCU, that inhabitants has seemingly elevated a great quantity since then. Which suggests just about anybody might be a Skrull, as we noticed with Spider-Man: Far From Dwelling. (They had been gonna Skrullify Jake Gyllenhaal at one level, do not forget that?) You received’t actually know somebody’s truly a shapeshifting alien till the the MCU outright says as such on display screen.
The Skrulls can be utilized as a great way to generate paranoia and stress, which is exactly what occurred within the comics and Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. We’re already beginning to see a few of this with of us like Sharon Carter, but it surely’s additionally enjoyable to think about what essentially the most random Skrull reveal might be. Like, it received’t occur, but when it turned out Ned from the Spider-Man motion pictures or Pug from She-Hulk had been aliens this complete time? That’d be humorous.
Earlier than Secret Invasion’s trailer hits the web later tonight, let us know what MCU characters you assume would make for the goofiest Skrull reveals.
