![]() ![]() There’s an implication here that the MI6 agent who apparently is a close ally and old friend of Fury’s is connected to the Howling Commandos, likely as a direct relative of James Montgomery Falsworth. James Montgomery Falsworth (aka Union Jack) is a British soldier who became a part of the Howling Commandos that aided Cap in his fight against Red Skull and HYDRA. In fact, if you have a habit of paying close attention to detail within the MCU, you’ll recognize that surname as one carried by a former ally of Captain America during WWII. While she doesn’t seem to have direct inspiration from the world of Marvel comics, there is something rather peculiar about her surname. Secret Invasion will debut the character of MI6 Special Agent Sonya Falsworth, portrayed by Oscar winner Olivia Colman ( The Favourite, Empire of Light). Because the events of Winter Soldier proved to have ramifications for the greater MCU, one can only wonder what impact the Skrulls’ infiltration will have on the world at large. Fury and Hill, among others, became fugitives and off-the-grid operators fighting for their own causes. It was a key moment that resulted in the demise of the agency in the MCU. But you may recall that Fury, alongside Captain America and other Marvel heroes, once found themselves in this same predicament.Ĭaptain America: Winter Soldier proved to be a major event in the MCU as Hydra’s infiltration into every key component of world leadership, and even the unbreakable S.H.I.E.L.D. Rogue Skrulls with a penchant for embodying humans in positions of power are expertly disguised thanks to their physiology. ![]() This isn’t the first time the MCU has barked up the spy-thriller tree.Given the premise, this series becomes a “who can Nick Fury trust?” scenario. So, if you want a reading companion to enjoy alongside the TV series, look no further than this graphic novel. The Disney+ Secret Invasion series will, however, borrow the basis of a Skrull invasion from the comics as they use their shape-shifting abilities to infiltrate major positions of leadership and defense across Earth. And it’s unlikely that, outside of a cameo or small role, we are going to see many other major heroes. But, of course, those first two heavy hitters are now deceased in the MCU. This eight-issue series written by famed comic book writer Brian Michael Bendis features many major heroes including Iron Man, Black Widow, Wolverine, and even the Fantastic Four. Why wouldn’t there be? Just about every major event in the MCU is named after or based on a storyline from Marvel comics. Of course, there is a Secret Invasion comic book miniseries. This might be a no-brainer, at least for tried-and-true Marvel and comic book fans. Secret Invasion is based on the comic series of the same name
