As ’Secret Invasion’ goes live; Here’s everything you need to know about its ‘Captain Marvel’ connection

Marvel has marked its first 2023 entry with Samuel L. Jackson-led highly anticipated, going by the social media, “Secret Invasion”. The show's storyline was kept secret for a significant period, leading to widespread speculation online since its announcement in July 2022. Marvel has reduced the frequency of its interconnected TV shows and films compared to last year. In the current year, the MCU has released two movies — "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" and "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3”.

Marvel fans and those who have a keen interest in Marvel Cinematic Universe or MCU, well know and understand that everything is connected from first entry ie Iron Man to the upcoming Loki season 2. Therefore, “Secret Invasion" follows the same pattern. To fully understand the series, it's important to recall the events of 2019's "Captain Marvel." In that film, audiences witness Nick Fury and the main character making a promise to assist the shape-shifting Skrulls in finding a new home.

A little Spoiler alert—in the new Disney+ series, which premiered its first episode, we observe the Skrulls becoming restless and opting to conquer Earth through a series of fabricated terrorist attacks—hence the show's title.
