A new 'Secret Invasion' image exposes Nick Fury's human side.
Father Time is catching up to Nick Fury in a new Secret Invasion image from Empire Magazine. The former S.H.I.E.L.D. director has been put through the wringer in the MCU, even meeting his maker like many others in Avengers: Infinity War. He's back to take on the Skrull threat in the upcoming Disney+ series, but Jackson wants to emphasize a new side to the man. His eye patch is gone, his beard's a bit fuller and grayer, and he's far more human than superhuman.
Secret Invasion will see a war taking place on Earth as a rogue group of Skrulls infiltrates the populace and Fury returns to the planet in an attempt to thwart the plot with his allies. The tone, however, will be darker than most MCU projects as it mixes a tense spy thriller with a bit of psychological horror as the group tries to root out the invaders. With the trailers leaving out any traces of the Skrulls' presence, it only builds paranoia as the question remains of who is an imposter.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Fury himself is also left to question his own role in this ordeal. He's stuck in a world with few people left to trust amidst the Skrull imposter crisis, and he's still left shaken following his own erasure from existence and the deaths of many of the heroes he knows.
It's not just about breaking down the idea of an invincible Nick Fury though. It's also about showing how Fury's disappearance over the last several years, and his general involvement in super-powered conflicts, has interfered with the life he lives beyond the job. That's certainly reflected in his tight relationship with Cobie Smulders's Maria Hill who'll greet Fury with a frosty reception upon his return after he's blown her off for so long.
Aside from Jackson and Smulders, Secret Invasion will see a lot of returning faces including Don Cheadle’s James Rhodes, aka War Machine, and Martin Freeman’s Everett K. Ross alongside Ben Mendelsohn's Talos. The new additions are incredibly exciting too with Emilia Clarke joining as G'iah, Olivia Colman as Sonya Fallsworth, and Kingsley Ben-Adir as Gravik. Rounding out the bunch is Dermot Mulroney, Carmen Ejogo, Killian Scott, Christopher McDonald, and Charlayne Woodard.

Could France protest fury spill into next year's Olympics?Preparations in France for the 2024 Olympic Games had been going largely smoothly. That is starting to change. Olympic contestation is picking up online and starting to spill onto streets, because protesters are linking the Paris Games to unpopular pension reforms pushed through by French President Emmanuel Macron. A band of Olympic opponents who call themselves “un-volunteers' are surreptitiously working to infiltrate and disrupt next year’s Games by signing up as would-be Olympic volunteers. There also are small and sporadic protests targeting Olympic preparations. Olympic organizers say polling shows enduring strong support for the Paris Games. But critics of Macron want to disrupt the show to retaliate for his raising of France’s retirement age from 62 to 64.
