In Disney+'s “Secret Invasion,” the SHIELD chief, a.k.a. Samuel L. Jackson, fronts a mostly entertaining game of Marvel-supporting-character Bingo, seeking to thwart a plot by shapeshifting Skrulls with their cinematic roots in the “Captain Marvel” movies.
It’s a different kind of series for Marvel/Disney+, kicking off with promise based on the first two episodes by feeling as if it’s equal parts “Mission: Impossible” and “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” given that the Skrull ability to mimic others makes it extremely difficult to know who to trust.
Under showrunner Kyle Bradstreet , “Secret Invasion” reunites Fury with SHIELD agents Maria Hill and Everett Ross as well as the Skrull Talos in trying to identify and stop the Skrull threat, which involves sowing the seeds of chaos through acts of terrorism and destabilization around the globe. Don Cheadle also parachutes in as James Rhodes/War Machine, which is as close to Avengers territory as the opening episodes come.
