Secret Invasion is connected to the plot of Captain Marvel. It focuses on a faction of shape-shifting Skrulls who have been infiltrating Earth for years. To the audience’s delight, a clip was shown to give a glimpse of what’s in store. His name was included in error.

Marvel reaffirmed all that they've got in store for us at this weekend's Comic-Con, with one of the biggest pieces of news being that Phase Five officially ...

For instance, we’ve all been desperate to find out who Oscar-winner Olivia Colman is playing in Secret Invasion. While her character’s identity still has yet to be revealed, however, Marvel’s SDCC panel did at least give us something to work with as a new detail about her role was confirmed. Although obviously with a series that’ll see an evil sect of the shapeshifting Skrulls infiltrating the Earth, just because we’re being told that Colman’s character is a good guy doesn’t mean that she’ll ultimately turn out to be one. The rest of the cast includes Ben Mendelsohn (Talos), Cobie Smulders (Maria Hill), Don Cheadle (War Machine), and Kingsley Ben-Adir.

Marvel may not have shared its first 'Secret Invasion' teaser online, but we've got a full description from our team at 2022's Comic-Con.

“We’re going to get deeper into the characters. As the figure gets closer, it takes on a less and less abstract shape until we see it is in fact Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), returning to Earth after a stint in space. New trailers for “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” and, most importantly, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” were released online in a matter of minutes, allowing fans around the world to join in the celebration of all things Phase 4.

Bridgerton's Regé-Jean Page was listed on the Secret Invasion cast list by mistake and is not joining the Marvel series.

The show will premiere on Disney+ in spring 2023 and will be the first TV series of Phase 5. After starring in the 2016 remake of Roots and the ABC legal drama For the People, Page found his breakout role in Bridgerton, which quickly became one of Netflix's most popular shows. The presentation itself featured a surprise screening of the drama's first trailer, with Colbie Smolders, who will return as Maria Hill, in attendance to hype the project.

The former Bridgerton actor is, as of right now, not going to be in any Marvel properties.

After the Marvel Theatrical panel on Saturday night, Marvel sent out a press release to a bunch of press-release-hungry journalists. This is funny for a few reasons, not because Marvel made a factual error, but because they did it for a show where the powers of an entire alien species are such that they can shape-shift into any other person. Marvel quickly realized the error after publications reported on the cast list and sent out a swift correction.
