Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe can check out the first episode of the new series, Secret Invasion, on Disney. But be careful, you have to have seen some films before.
The Marvel Universe continues to expand more and more, so it’s getting hard to see and follow everything. Secret Invasion, the first episode of which is released on Disney this Wednesday, June 21, is further proof of this. If you stopped at the Avengers and you have not followed the gradual arrival of the Skrulls on planet earth, this new production in six episodes which operates an alloy between Marvel and the spy series may confuse you.
While it’s not impossible to follow the plot of Secret Invasion without reviewing it first, it’s nicer to have certain things in mind to fully appreciate this new Marvel series. To fully understand the challenge represented by the Skrulls and to get to know the character of Talos (Ben Mendelssohn), it is necessary to have seen the films Captain Marvel and Spider-Man: Far From Home. Note also that Nick Fury’s galactic vacation takes place at the end of this second episode of the adventures of Spider-Man, Tom Holland version. It therefore seems essential to have watched these two films to understand the issues of the new Marvel series in depth.
But these are not the only events that are mentioned in the first episode of Secret Invasion. In addition, the famous snap of the fingers which has psychological consequences on the character played by Samuel L. Jackson will be familiar to viewers of Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, since this is the moment when Thanos makes a part disappear. of the population, including Nick Fury. Finally, the character of Everett Ross, played by Martin Freeman and who makes his appearance at the beginning of the first episode, appears more specifically in the films Black Panther and Wakanda Forever, when that of Maria Hill (Cobie Smulder), agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. evolves in the background in the Avengers films.
