‘Secret Invasion’ Reviews:
According to Twitter user @BrandonDavisBD, “Secret Invasion is definitely Marvel’s most mature title for Disney+ yet. The language and writing know the audience has grown up, and flashes of violence keep it feeling realistic while emphasizing the stakes. The Skrull invasion feels grounded and tense. I’m digging it.“
According to @PickYourBrian, “Secret Invasion is an international spy thriller and one of Marvel’s boldest and heaviest stories to date. Some will probably even call it the MCU’s ‘Andor.’ The ensemble cast is stellar, and Sam Jackson gets to do vintage Sam Jackson things. I’m intrigued and eager to see more.“
According to @ReillyBJohnson, “Secret Invasion Episodes 1 and 2 are the gritty conspiracy thriller I hoped for. It’s slower-paced than some may like, but it made some bold choices that many won’t expect and added even more depth to Nick Fury. This is the type of project I’ve wanted from Marvel for a while. 8/10!“
According to @DempseyPillot, “Marvel’s Secret Invasion brilliantly gives fans a glimpse at what Earth is like when its mighty heroes aren’t around. A bit slow at first, it’s nothing short of a top-tier MCU. Nick Fury and Company are great, but the paranoia is greater. Imagine John Carpenter’s The Thing x 10.“
According to @hollywoodhandle, “Secret Invasion it’s different from everything we saw before in an MCU show. It’s a more deep, slow-paced, grounded, twisted story that has a big potential to become one of Marvel’s best series, and I can’t wait to see what’s to come next.“
According to the Disney+ logline, in Secret Invasion, set in the present-day MCU, Fury learns of a clandestine invasion of Earth by a faction of shapeshifting Skrulls. Fury joins his allies, including Everett Ross, Maria Hill, and the Skrull Talos, who have made a life for himself on Earth. Together, they race against time to thwart an imminent Skrull invasion and save humanity.
The series consists of six episodes in total and will premiere its first episode on June 21, 2023, on Disney+. New episodes will be released every Wednesday.
