Secret Invasion star Samuel L. Jackson cannot be effusive enough in his praise for co-star Ben Mendelsohn. In fact, his level of adulation is a bit creepy in this behind the scenes look at the show. Watch Wednesdays on Disney+.
Secret Invasion is the 2023 Marvel Studios live-action TV series for Disney+, based on the Marvel Comics of the same name.
Actor Samuel L. Jackson is set to reprise the role of Nick Fury, which he has played in numerous Marvel Cinematic Universe films, as well as on the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series. He'll be joined by Ben Mendelsohn as the Skrull Talos, who first appeared in Captain Marvel.
The cast also includes Kingsley Ben-Adir, Emilia Clarke, Olivia Colman, Killian Scott, Christopher McDonald, Cobie Smulders and Don Cheadle
We last saw Fury and Talos in Spider-Man: Far From Home where it was revealed the S.H.I.E.L.D. director is alive and well and living on some sort of space craft while Talos impersonated him on Earth. Many speculated at the time that this sets up S.W.O.R.D., an offshoot of S.H.I.E.L.D. that protects the planet from extraterrestrial threats (although that organization was featured in WandaVision with a very different mission).
Kyle Bradstreet (Mr. Robot) is writing and executive producing the show.
