10 Secret Invasion Cameo Theories That Are Actually Realistic
MCU Phase 5's Secret Invasion is expected to feature many characters from past MCU projects. Adapted from Marvel Comics' 2008 Secret Invasion event, the Phase 5 Disney+ series will star Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as Talos in an espionage adventure that unravels when a faction of shape-shifting Skrulls are revealed to have been infiltrating Earth for years. Secret Invasion will act as a direct sequel to 2019's Captain Marvel, alongside The Marvels, but many prior MCU stories will likely be revisited as well, which could also include the return of several MCU characters.
The Secret Invasion storyline in Marvel Comics features many of the Earth's high-profile heroes being outed as Skrulls in disguise, but Marvel Studios seems to be taking a more grounded, down-to-Earth approach with Phase 5's Secret Invasion. The six-part series will introduce Olivia Colman, Emilia Clarke, and Kingsley Ben-Adir to the MCU but will also see several past actors reprise their MCU roles, including Don Cheadle, Cobie Smulders, and Martin Freeman, who have all been confirmed for the series. For existing MCU character cameos, Marvel Studios needs to be careful to hang onto the darker tones of the series, so only a select few could realistically appear in Secret Invasion.
