UPDATE: Disney+ has delisted Secret Invasion, leading many to believe the release date was either unveiled too early or the show has been delayed. Neither Disney nor Marvel Studios has addressed the change.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe's Secret Invasion series finally has a release date for Disney+.
The streaming service recently updated the page for Secret Invasion, revealing it will hit Disney+ on June 21, 2023. The show follows Nick Fury (Samual L. Jackson) and more as the world is infiltrated by a Skrull invasion, with the alien race taking the forms of significant figures on earth. This comes just days after a report indicated Secret Invasion had suffered a delay with a move from May to June.
Marvel Delays Its Disney+ Series
Multiple Disney+ MCU series received delays in the last several months. Marvel's What If..? reportedly received a delay, getting pushed back to Q1 2024. Rumors indicate that the comics giant also plans to delay both Echo and Ironheart, though they've yet to confirm it. Additionally, a recent update to Disney+'s page for Loki changed its release window from "Summer 2023" to "Coming Soon," leading some to speculate it will miss its original window. However, Loki actor Owen Wilson later said it would come out in September 2023.
Secret Invasion's Star-Studded Cast
Apart from the return of Nick Fury, additional returning characters include Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders), Everett K. Ross (Martin Freeman), James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) and Talos (Ben Mendelsohn). Olivia Colman joined the cast as Special Agent Sonya Falsworth, whom many believe but be related to Howling Commandos' James Montgomery Falsworth. Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke also joined the cast in an undisclosed role, though some believe she's playing a Skrull named G'iah and the daughter of Talos.
Clarke recently spoke about working with Marvel, detailing the studio's expertise in producing its films and series. "It's like everyone at Marvel knows how to unlock the Rubik's cube, and you couldn't even possibly — I can't do a Rubik's Cube to save my damn life. I hope a lot of people can't also. It's like they have some secret thing, and it just works. It just works!" the actor said. She also described her time working on Secret Invasion, calling it "chill" to work on. "We had a lot of laughs. They're just so chill, and I think I'm not that chill, and I think if I were them, I would be so unchill all the time," she said.
Secret Invasion premieres on Disney+ on June 21, 2023.
