How many episodes will Secret Invasion have?

There will be six episodes in the Secret Invasion mini-series.

Secret Invasion plot and rumours

Based only loosley on the comic book event that ran across multiple titles in 2009, the Secret Invasion TV series will mainly focuses on Nick Fury and his Skrull ally Talos.

They seek to expose a cabal of other Skrulls who can shape-shift and have infiltrated high-ranking positions in governments on Earth.

The superhero tie-in event featured so many heroes in the books that the budget would be bigger even than the last two Avengers movies, so the theme of paranoia and mistrust remains, but the on a more personal level.

Secret Invasion cast and crew

As you can see in the trailer at the top of this page, Samuel L Jackson reprises his role as Nick Fury, the former head of S.H.I.E.L.D. who returns to Earth after a lengthy absence. Also reprising MCU roles are Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, Martin Freeman as Everett K Ross, and Don Cheadle as James “Rhodey” Rhodes/War Machine.

Ben Mendelsohn will once again be Skrull agent Talos (from Captain Marvel), while Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke will play Gloria Warner.

What to watch before Secret Invasion

What not to watch, basically?

The Avengers movies are a shoo-in, as well as Captain Marvel, where you’ll get to see Talos and Fury together for the first time.

Captain America: Civil War and Black Panther should be put on the watch list too, with Everett K Ross (Freeman) appearing in both. Oh, and it’s handy to catch up with the first three episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to get more background on Maria Hill (Smulders).

Also watch Spider-Man: Far From Home – Hill is impersonated by a Skrull (Soren) in that. It’ll give you a couple of indications of what to expect from Secret Invasion.
