The highly anticipated Marvel Entertainment series, Secret Invasion, is set to premiere on Disney+ this week, and the marketing team is leaving no stone unturned in promoting the show. In a clever bit of advertising, Skrulls, the shape-shifting villains featured in the series, are popping up on various local news stations across the United States.
People disguised as Skrulls, including one in a suit, have been walking past and even trying to sneak into the background of various news segments in cities such as Dallas, Los Angeles, and Chicago. The humorous marketing ploy has not gone unnoticed by fans, with one Reddit user even managing to get a wedding photo with a Skrull at Chicago’s Cloud Gate sculpture, affectionately known as the bean.
Secret Invasion sees the return of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and also stars Ben Mendelsohn, Emilia Clarke, Cobie Smulders, Martin Freeman, and Kingsley Ben-Adir. The directing duties for the six-episode miniseries fall on Ali Selim.
The story follows the Skrulls as they invade Earth in an espionage thriller, posing a threat to the planet’s security. Viewers can expect to be kept on the edge of their seats as the show keeps them guessing about who they can trust.
The first episode of Secret Invasion will premiere on Disney+ tomorrow, with subsequent episodes airing each Wednesday until its conclusion on July 26th. Fans and viewers alike are eagerly anticipating the debut of this thrilling new show.
