This new Marvel villain is complicated.
ET Canada’s Carlos Bustamante recently sat down with “Secret Invasion” star Kinglsey Ben-Adir about playing the villain Gravik in the Disney+ series.
Gravik is the leader of a radical Skrull faction invading Earth to seize the planet’s resources, but the actor doesn’t agree that he’s the coolest MCU antagonist so far.
“So false. I don’t I don’t want to call him ‘cool.’ Cool was something I was trying to stay away from,” he said, adding, “But if he’s coming across as cool, no judgment.”

Asked how he approached the villainous role, Ben-Adir said, “I started with a blank slate and you build around that. The more I looked into these kinds of characters in real life, these cult leaders and people who are able to influence whole communities of people to do these crazy and atrocious things at times, the more I looked at them, the more I felt like it was something else going on that’s not what they’re saying or what they seem to be.”
He explained how Gravik’s personal history with Nick Fury and Talos have caused his hatred and sparked his actions.
That, the actor said, “just made it a little bit more interesting and complicated.”
Ben-Adir has also got a lot going on in his career at the moment, with starring in a Marvel series, as well as the upcoming “Barbie”, and a biopic about Bob Marley.
“It feels nice to work, always,” he said. “I always feel really lucky. Sometimes I’m like, ‘Damn, I’m still working. This is nuts.”
He continued, “When I left drama school, for me, I was like, ‘If you can just get a couple jobs a year, if I could make 10 or 15 grand a year from

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer SPOILER ALERT: This story discusses plot developments in Episode 2 of Marvel Studios’ “Secret Invasion,” currently streaming on Disney+. Samuel L. Jackson has played the super spy Nick Fury in 11 movies for Marvel Studios. Sometimes, he’s appeared in only a brief cameo; other times, he’s been the second or third lead in a movie with “Captain” in the title. In every appearance, Jackson exudes preternatural calm and cunning as one of the most formidable, non-superpowered humans in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But it wasn’t until the actor’s first foray as the lead in an MCU project — the Disney+ series “Secret Invasion” — that Marvel has really addressed the fact that Nick Fury is also a Black man who grew up in America.

Cobie Smulders is opening up about Maria Hill’s fate following the first episode of Marvel’s Secret Invasion.
Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer SPOILER ALERT: This story discusses major plot developments in the series premiere of Marvel Studios’ “Secret Invasion,” currently streaming on Disney+. Since her first appearance as Maria Hill in 2012’s “The Avengers,” Cobie Smulders has popped into the Marvel Cinematic Universe roughly half-dozen times, racing into danger and cheating death as the hyper-competent lieutenant to Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), most recently in 2019’s “Spider-Man: Far From Home.” So when Marvel started planning the Disney+ series “Secret Invasion” — about how the shape-shifting Skrulls from the 2019’s prequel film “Captain Marvel” have turned against Fury and started infiltrating all levels of human society — it made perfect sense for Maria to show up, too.

David Benedict “What was I thinking when I made this deal?” So sings Holly Martins (Sam Underwood) towards the end of the new musical adaptation of “The Third Man.” Indeed. As it turns out, the mystery at the heart of the show is not the expected “Whatever happened to Harry Lime?” – the man of the title – but what possessed a creative team as distinguished as director Trevor Nunn and bookwriter Christopher Hampton to imagine that what Carol Reed’s still-astonishing classic film needed was to be taken offscreen and planted onstage with added songs. The dismaying production provides no answer. The opening is ominous in completely the wrong way. Yes, we’re still in Vienna in 1947 but it feels like a failure to resort to a voice-over to explain necessary information about how, in the wake of the war, the city has been divided up into sectors under the control of warring nations. The storytelling, it’s clear, is going to be bald.
