Earlier within the week, Marvel lastly pulled again the curtain on Secret Invasion, one of many many Disney+ reveals they’ve nonetheless obtained within the pipeline. Based mostly 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 everywhere in the world. That means we’re as soon as once more within the paranoid espionage thriller house, one thing the MCU hasn’t achieved 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 (possibly something?) they need. They have 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 probably elevated an excellent quantity since then. Which implies just about anybody could possibly be a Skrull, as we noticed with Spider-Man: Far From Residence. (They have been gonna Skrullify Jake Gyllenhaal at one level, do not forget that?) You gained’t actually know somebody’s really 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 rigidity, 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 people like Sharon Carter, but it surely’s additionally enjoyable to think about what probably the most random Skrull reveal could possibly be. Like, it gained’t occur, but when it turned out Ned from the Spider-Man films or Pug from She-Hulk have been aliens this whole time? That’d be humorous.
Earlier than Secret Invasion’s trailer hits the web later tonight, let us know what MCU characters you suppose would make for the goofiest Skrull reveals.
