All Of The New Marvel Characters Being Set Up In Phase 4

The Thunderbolts were promoted to (Dark) Avengers status after they got most of the credit for saving the planet during a major storyline. And, what do you know, that storyline is also coming to the MCU …

Marvel Has Been Laying The Groundwork For Secret Invasion For A While

Secret Invasion is the story in which Marvel’s heroes find out that some of their friends are aliens in disguise, and DC’s heroes find out that Marvel is rehashing their old ideas (don’t worry, DC got back to Marvel via trolling). It’s also the name of an upcoming Disney+ series starring Nick Fury and Talos, one of the good guy Skrulls from Captain Marvel, but it’s hard to see a story like this being limited to six episodes. In fact, it looks like it has already spilled out to some of the movies.

For starters, in Captain Marvel we meet the Kree and the Skrulls but, contrary to what’s seen in the comics, the Skrulls turn out to be pretty chill and the Kree are genocidal bastards. At the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home, we find out that the “Nick Fury” who’s been hanging out with Spidey throughout the movie is actually Talos in Fury’s (bad mother)form, while the real Nick is in a spaceship with some other Skrulls as part of a mission.

The mission is finding his damn shoes.

According to Secret Invasion‘s official description, the bad guys are “a faction of shape-shifting Skrulls who have been infiltrating Earth for years.” That said, it’s interesting to note that, in Far From Home, Fury/Talon mentions to Spider-Man that there are Kree sleeper cells hiding on Earth. Since some Kree have human-like skin colors, maybe they are the ones impersonating people via wigs and fake noses. That, or they used their love of genetic experimentation (a loooooong running theme in the comics) to create Kree/Skrull hybrids who are able to shape-shift — you know, like Hulkling of the Young Avengers. Huh. It all comes together!
