SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from the first episode of the Disney+ series Secret Invasion.
Nick Fury has finally returned to Earth.
The former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and founder of the Avengers, played by Samuel L. Jackson, made a significant return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe on Wednesday with the premiere of Secret Invasion on Disney+. For the past several years, Fury has been largely absent from the MCU, save for a few cameos. Audiences last saw him in the post-credit scene for Spider-Man: Far From Home, where he was lounging on a spaceship that appeared to be mostly manned by Skrull.
Now, rather than working with the Skrull, Fury is going up against them after a rebel faction has begun to try to take over Earth.
Episode 1 opens with Agent Prescod trying to convince Agent Ross (Martin Freeman) that a group of Skrulls are attempting to destabilize global politics by triggering acts of aggression between countries, claiming that five different global terrorist attacks over the past year were secretly the work of the alien race. He warns what would happen if the Skrulls were to get involved in the relations of two powerful countries.
Well, as it turns out, that wasn’t Agent Ross at all. It was actually a Skrull working for said rebel faction, who kills Prescod in an attempt to keep their plans a secret. He’s tailed by Talos (Ben Mendelsohn), a former Skrull general who is now working with S.H.I.E.L.D, who quickly learns of the rebels’ plans and warns Agent Hill (Cobie Smulders) that they are going to blow up — literally — relations between U.S. and Russia. After prolonged radio silence, they finally have a threat big enough to get Fury’s attention
