What is Marvel's Secret Invasion about?

Based on the Marvel Comics event of the same name, Secret Invasion follows Nick Fury (Jackson) and Talos (Ben Mendelsohn) as they attempt to thwart an invasion of Earth by the shape-shifting aliens called Skrulls. Unfortunately for them, many have already infiltrated Earth's society at various levels and positions. 

Secret invasion is billed as Marvel's first Disney+ crossover event. Other returning Marvel Cinematic Universe stars include Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, Don Cheadle as James "Rhodey" Rhodes / War Machine, and Martin Freeman as Everett K. Ross. Newcomers to the MCU include Emilia Clarke, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Olivia Colman, Carmen Ejogo, Christopher McDonald, Dermot Mulroney, and Killian Scott. Kyle Bradstreet wrote Secret Invasion, while Thomas Bezucha and Ali Selim directed.

"It looks so good," Smulders said of Secret Invasion in an interview with TV Line, "and it's a very different tone than I've seen [in the MCU]. I mean, having Sam [Jackson] in anything is just a thrill to watch, but I think it really sets his character up in a really interesting way that I've always wanted to see."

She continued, "It's the most depth I've been able to show of Maria Hill. That's the beauty of these series that Marvel is doing, you're able to really get backstory of these characters. What are the conversations that happen when they're just sitting around drinking coffee? It's not like, 'We've gotta get the bad guys! We've gotta get the thing! We've gotta save the world again!' It's like, 'Let's just have a chat, let's go for a walk.' We get to see those kinds of moments and be a bit more intimate with the characters."

Secret Invasion premieres on Disney+ on June 21st. Look for the Secret Invasion trailer tonight during Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN.
