Samuel L. Jackson returns for “one last fight” in Secret Invasion

Nick Fury has one last fight on Earth, haunted by his personal demons and the failures of his career as director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Samuel L. Jackson returns for “one last fight” in Secret Invasion

Marvel Studios has released the official trailer for Secret Invasion, the new Disney Plus original series, also revealing its premiere date of June 3, 2023. The new series focuses on Nick Fury’s return to Earth after a period of self-imposed exile in space, where he tries to find himself while helping a faction of Skrulls who are peacefully seeking a place to live after the Kree destroyed their home, unlike the majority of their kind who take a more violent approach.

The most belligerent faction of the Skrulls has devised a plan to use their innate transformation powers to place agents in key political and military positions around the world as a vanguard for a full-scale invasion of Earth. Without the Avengers as a line of defense, the planet seems to be at the mercy of the aliens’ machinations, which is why the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. decides to personally re-engage and fight the threat in what the trailer calls “one last fight.”

A more earthy series

From what has been seen in the trailer and other promotional material, the series seems to be going for a more gritty, “spy movie” style, as opposed to the more octane superhero action that will be reserved for upcoming movies like New World Order in 2024, or the next Avengers movies like The Kang Dynasty or Secret Wars in 2025 and 2026, respectively.

Secret Invasion will add to the catalog of Marvel series on Disney Plus, which includes WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Loki, with a cast that includes Emilia Clarke, Cobie Smulders, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Olivia Colman, Christopher McDonald, and Killian Scott.
