Marvel's 'Secret Invasion' Trailer Is Melting Minds Over Who Is And Isn't A Skrull

The past few days have seen a whole bunch of Disney, Star Wars and Marvel announcements and updates, thanks to the D23 Expo in California, but one in particular has been boggling the minds of fans. And no, I don’t mean the oddly meta High School Musical series, in which the characters find out that they’re going to be extras in the in-universe High School Musical 4: The Reunion (although I’d argue that is even more confusing than what we’re about to get onto). No, we’re talking about Secret Invasion, baby.

Check out the trailer for Secret Invasion right here.

The upcoming Disney+ series is set to premiere in early 2023, as part of Phase Five of the MCU, and stars Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and the Skrull, Talos (Ben Mendelsohn). Given that the series is about a group of shape-shifting Skrulls, who’ve been secretly infiltrating Earth for years, it begs the question - is anyone in the trailer actually who they appear to be? 

Fans on Reddit have been trying to unpack this themselves. “Welp, it's time for every Marvel fan's [favourite] game...WHO'S THE SKRULL!?!?” wrote 82ndGameHead. “That arrival entrance back to earth from Nick Fury. But is it really him?” questioned ReaddittiddeR. “I guarantee that every single week we’ll have a list of characters as long as my arm that could be a [Skrull]. I want Wandavision level theorycrafting again,” added James2603.

No doubt that this is going to be a super interesting one to follow week by week when it comes out, and thankfully, there shouldn’t be too long to wait.
