The Next Trailer For Marvel Studios's 'Secret Invasion' Is Coming Tonight
See the new poster and the revealed premiere date
Do you trust me? It’s amping up to be a big week for trailers. Warner Bros. is set to release two trailers this week, DC Studios’ Blue Beetle on Monday, and the Greta Gerwig-directed Barbie later on. Even Sony is ready for another Across the Spider-Verse trailer. But right here, right now, Marvel Studios’ Secret Invasion is getting a new trailer tonight.
Secret Invasion is the first TV series for Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the 1990s, as depicted in Captain Marvel, a family of shape-shifting green-skinned extraterrestrials known as Skrulls gained Earth human allies in Carol Danvers and Nick Fury. Skrulls can perfectly simulate any human being at will. It’s been decades since he promised them they were going to find them a planet or somewhere they could live as refugees of galactic war. But it’s been a struggle. Now a group of Skrull extremists are tired of asking and tired of waiting. Gravik (played by One Night in Miami’s Kingsley Ben-Adir) is the resistance leader who has radicalized them. He breaks from Talos’s faction to do what he feels he needs to do. As does Emilia Clarke’s G’iah, who is Talos’s daughter. The series will feature Olivia Colman as well, alongside the returning Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Don Cheadle as Rhodey, Martin Freeman as Everett Ross, and Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill.
The June 21 premiere date for the miniseries was discovered on Disney+ on Wednesday, March 29. Such a date barely misses its original Spring window merely by premiering on the first day of summer. But why tonight for the trailer? Well, it’s going to be broadcast during ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Texas Rangers. It’s the first Sunday Night Baseball game of the season, and the last game of Opening Week (if you haven’t heard of FrontDoor before, they’ve put themselves out there now). Come back tonight when it drops for a full trailer breakdown!
