SECRET INVASION
FROM WEDNESDAY 21 JUNE, DISNEY+SCI-FI

Marvel’s iconic super-spy Nick Fury takes centre stage in a much-anticipated spin-off series with real star power, as Hollywood legend Samuel L. Jackson is joined by Olivia Colman, Martin Freeman, Don Cheadle and Emilia Clarke for an action-packed adventure fuelled by conspiracy and espionage.

Launching on Disney+ this Wednesday, six-part thriller Secret Invasion follows former director of law enforcement agency S.H.I.E.L.D. and Avengers founder Fury as he discovers a rogue faction of Skrulls – shapeshifting aliens – have been infiltrating all levels of human infrastructure and positions of power across the globe for years.

Fury had promised to find the extraterrestrial refugees a new home in 1995-set film Captain Marvel (2019), but he’s failed to deliver so far, so a Skrull extremist group has taken matters into their own hands.

SPACE INVADERS!

As Skrulls can disguise themselves as anyone, knowing who to trust is a tricky task for Fury and his allies, including ex-CIA agent Everett K. Ross (Sherlock’s Martin Freeman), former S.H.I.E.L.D. operative Maria Hill (How I Met Your Mother star Cobie Smulders) and Fury’s old friend and Skrull leader Talos (Rogue One’s Ben Mendelsohn), who has made a life for himself on Earth. Can they thwart the alien invasion?
