Ben Mendelsohn Reflects on Collaborating with Samuel L. Jackson for “Secret Invasion”

In the realm of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, one of the most compelling partnerships is once again on display as Nick Fury (portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson) teams up with Talos (played by Ben Mendelsohn) to uncover a conspiracy that threatens life on Earth. The series, entitled “Secret Invasion,” delves into the dangerous actions of the Skrulls, a group of shape-shifting aliens who aim to infiltrate positions of power worldwide and spark a devastating war. With time running out, Fury and Talos find themselves unsure of who to trust as they strive to prevent humanity from losing control of Earth’s fate.

While Fury has been dealing with one disaster after another since the inception of the franchise with “Iron Man” in 2008, Talos was introduced in “Captain Marvel,” where audiences first encountered the Skrulls. “Secret Invasion” marks a reunion for Mendelsohn and Jackson, both on-screen and off-screen. During an interview with Collider, Mendelsohn expressed his admiration and respect for Samuel L. Jackson, dating back to the early days of Jackson’s career. Mendelsohn’s words paint Jackson as not only a talented actor but also one of the most significant figures in the history of screen acting.

In this limited series, which takes on the thrilling tone of an espionage thriller, some familiar faces from Fury’s past return to aid him as they realize the magnitude of the situation. Cobie Smulders reprises her role as Maria Hill, a character who played a prominent role in the earlier phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As the former S.H.I.E.L.D. organization is no more, Hill has been working for the government following the revelation that H.Y.D.R.A. had infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. In order to defeat the malevolent Skrulls and their plan for conquest, Fury will need all the help he can get.

In addition to the returning characters, “Secret Invasion” introduces new villains who pose a unique threat to the heroes. Kingsley Ben-Adir portrays Gravik, an antagonist who adds urgency to the story as his plans are already in motion. Gravik holds a personal grudge against Nick Fury and decides to take matters into his own hands when he no longer believes in Talos’ promises. Emilia Clarke plays G’iah, a highly intelligent agent who surpasses those around her in resourcefulness. Even the Avengers themselves may not be able to save Fury this time.
