The third episode of Secret Invasion, which debuted on Disney+ on July 5, delivered a surprising ending that left fans in shock.
Directed by Ali Selim and written by Kyle Bradstreet, the show features a star-studded cast, including Emilia Clarke, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Ben Mendelsohn, Olivia Colman, and Martin Freeman. The storyline revolves around Nick Fury and his allies' efforts to thwart a Skrull invasion on Earth.
Emilia Clarke, who portrays G'iah, the daughter of Talos, shared her reaction to the third episode in a video posted by the official Secret Invasion Twitter account. In the clip, the Game of Thrones star remarks, "that was fast, maybe too fast," a comment that will resonate with viewers who have already witnessed the discussed ending.
While the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) continues to expand with 32 feature films and 8 television series, Emilia Clarke assures fans that enjoying Secret Invasion doesn't require an in-depth knowledge of the entire MCU.
In a recent interview with Empire magazine, the 36-year-old actress emphasized that the show is designed for both dedicated fans and newcomers. Clarke stated, "It's definitely a show for the fans, but it's also a show that my mom, who doesn't watch Marvel, will watch and understand, you know what I mean? This is not that at all."
Don Cheadle, renowned for his portrayal of James Rhodes/War Machine in the MCU, echoed this sentiment in a recent interview with EW, suggesting that Secret Invasion leans more towards the atmosphere of a 70s spy film than a typical Marvel Studios installment. Cheadle described the series as closer to "something that's more in the tone of a '70s movie.
It's not so much about the bells and whistles of big special effects. It's more about the intrigue and the drama, the espionage and double crossings. And I still think it fits perfectly with what the MCU is capable of doing and achieving."
