During the Expo, fans also heard from the Marvel Studios' president Kevin Feige and Don Cheadle, who is reprising his role of Colonel James “Rhodey” Rhodes a.k.a War Machine, about the thrilling and star-studded addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Let's take a deep dive into Marvel's D23 Secret Invasion trailer. Why is Nick Fury so scared, and who exactly is invading Earth? And who are all these new ...

One shot in the trailer shows what looks to be a series of genetically modified bodies. If this invasion is as bad as Fury claims, he may have to stomach working with his old enemy to stop the new one.

To date, the Skrulls have been portrayed in a much more positive light. The trailer ends with Fury telling Talos that he’s the only thing standing between the invaders and their end goal. And now something is forcing the former Director of SHIELD to return home and unravel a vast conspiracy. One option is that there’s a different faction of Skrulls who aren’t as benevolent as Talos. We have a lot of questions about the plot of Secret Invasion, but above all, we want to know who exactly is doing the invading.

A great amount of mystery and trickery is expected to take place in the show, where both characters and fans alike decide to trust people who may not be who they say they are. The show will be a major event in the franchise's timeline, as Skrulls have invaded Earth and pose a threat to humanity.

Secret Invasion is Marvel's upcoming series, featuring Samuel L Jackson in his iconic role of Nick Fury and bringing Emilia Clarke into the MCU fold.

It will be part of phase five of the MCU. Secret Invasion is scheduled to premiere in early 2023, and will consist of six episodes. The book series focused on a subversive, long-term invasion of Earth by the Skrulls, who have secretly replaced many superheroes in the Marvel Universe with impostors over a period of years. The series is expected to take a different but similar approach. As the beam of light fades, we see it is none other than Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson), the former director of Shield. We are also introduced to some new faces, chiefly [Emilia Clarke](https://www.hindustantimes.com/topic/emilia-clarke) and Olivia Colman, both of whom are making their MCU debut with the show.

And with Tony Stark serving as head of SHIELD at that time in continuity, the organization existed to back up the Avengers and other cape-wearing crusaders. Nothing in the comic book story of Secret Invasion offers an opportunity for the live-action SHIELD to change its approach. Not just a different type of story from the usual superhero fights that everyone expect, but also a proper spy organization working in the shadows superheroes miss — for better or for worse. In [Captain America: The Winter Soldier](https://www.denofgeek.com/captain-america-the-winter-soldier/), Project Insight gave SHIELD the ability to rain death from above on any target it chooses. As soon as he beams back to Earth, Fury operates in secret. One got the sense that SHIELD allowed superheroes to do their thing in public while they fought their own hidden battles.

But when Nick Fury showed up in Stark’s penthouse to talk about the Avengers Initiative for the first post-credit sequence of the MCU, it seemed like SHIELD operated in a world deeper and more secret than we had imagined. While SHIELD’s mission meant its agents regularly crossed paths with superheroes — heck, Tony Stark was already part of the organization in Strange Tales #135 — comic book Fury and his team always had their own agenda.

The Skrulls in Secret Invasion, however, seem more dangerous. “Fury, we’ve gotta be very careful now,” Talos warns before he finds himself in a room full of Skrulls who all look like Ben-Adir. They disguise themselves as humans to get by, and while the Skrulls were revealed to be a struggling, misunderstood people oppressed by the Kree in Captain Marvel, it seems they’re attempting a full takeover of Earth in Secret Invasion.

The trailer is much darker tonally, and the Skrull are no longer the non-threatening Skrull we met in Captain Marvel.
