Marvel 's upcoming show Secret Invasion will follow the comic book arc of shape-shifting Kree aliens who made their first appearance in Captain Marvel and have used their power to infiltrate into powerful positions on Earth.
In the comic, The Kree have over many years infiltrated and replaced many of the Avengers and their allies which makes the premise of the show very interesting as it adds a layer of mystery
The former head of SHIELD Nick Fury played by Samuel L. Jackson must gather allies and stop the Kree at all costs.
Samuel L. Jackson shared his love for his fellow cast members by saying
"C'mon man, you walk on the set, Emilia’s amazing...Ben Mendelsohn, he’s awesome."
He went on to add, "Don, Don Cheadle. I got Don, that’s my golf buddy. I didn’t realize it, but 'til we did this thing, I was like, 'We’ve never worked together.' We just kinda know each other, hang out and laugh," Jackson continued, "But we’d never worked together and we finally [got to work together]."
