By and large, we’re used to the idea that aliens arrive in big, flashy spaceships that hover menacingly and portentously over our cities until – BOOM!!! – they blast the hell out of civilisation and we have to fight back for our very survival.
But unwanted galactic visitors of the thoroughly invasive kind also arrive undercover – think Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the humourous Men in Black, and the conspiracy-laden, short-loved Dark Skies series among many – a tradition continued by Marvel’s Secret Invasion in which we once again meet the shapeshifting Skrulls (or a renegade faction thereof) who have appeared in movies like Captain Marvel, Spider-Man: Far From Home and The Marvels (due for release 2023) and who mean to do nefarious things right under our oblivious noses.
It can’t end well … or can it?
When you have the likes of Nick Fury, Maria Hill and good guy Skrull Talos, it might end very well indeed but you’ll have a fight and a half on your hands, and hopefully, one hugely entertaining streaming series too.
Secret Invasion begins streaming on Disney+ on 21 June.
