Disney presents a new series for Disney + starring Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn based on the famous crossover of the same name from the comics.
Last Disney Investor Day 2020 left us with a multitude of news regarding two of the most popular franchises of the Mickey Mouse company, such as Marvel Studios and Star Wars; so much so, that up to 20 new series were announced between the two brands. And one of them was the sounded announcement of the Secret Invasion miniseries for Disney + as an adaptation of the famous homonymous crossover from the comics and which would be, in turn, the prologue to Captain Marvel 2, a film scheduled for November 2022 and in which it also Kamala Khan will be from her Ms. Marvel series.
Superheroes impersonated by Skrulls
Thus, after the events of Captain Marvel with a rejuvenated Nick Fury and the Skrulls’ debut in the MCU, both Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn return to action at the helm of a miniseries that could present a good number of superheroes from the UCM, yes, with their identities supplanted by the evil faction of the Skrulls, an alien race capable of adopting any form and identity, as we already saw in Carol Danvers’ first solo film.

And is that Secret Invasion represents one of the most ambitious crossovers of Marvel Comics, a story that hit the market in 2008, the work of writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Leinil Francis Yu and in which we were told how the Skrulls managed to impersonate the by Marvel superheroes, thus causing a large war in which no one was sure if the partner next door was an ally or an enemy.
Now, Marvel Studios intends to adapt this story in a miniseries format for Disney + to give rise to a more than probable final outcome in Captain Marvel 2; And it is that as fans of the MCU will remember, in one of the post-credit scenes of Spider-Man: Far From Home we saw Nick Fury aboard a ship orbiting the Earth and in which he seemed to be preparing a new defense force against alien invasions, while Talos impersonated his identity in the plot of the Spidey movie.
For now, Secret Invasion does not have a release date on Disney +, although it should arrive in 2022, shortly before Captain Marvel 2.
