Secret Invasion: Killian Scott In Talks For Marvel Disney Plus Series

Secret Invasion continues casting as Killian Scott is reported to be in talks to join the Marvel Disney Plus series.

The Irish actor is known for Dublin Murders, C.B. Strike, Damnation, Ripper Street, Love/Hate, and ’71; his role in Secret Invasion is unknown.

Killian Scott joins Samuel L. Jackson who returns as Nick Fury, Ben Mendelsohn as the Skrull, Talos, Kingsley Ben-Adir is said to likely be playing the villain of the series, Olivia Colman has an unknown role, and Emilia Clarke was recently announced to be joining the show in an unknown role, though fans think Clarke would be a good choice to play Abigail Brand, the head of SWORD.

Secret Invasion follows a group of Skrulls

Secret Invasion follows a group of shape-shifting aliens who have been infiltrating Earth for years.

“Now I want to talk about a couple of projects that we haven’t announced, yet. The first of which is Secret Invasion coming to Disney Plus,” said Kevin Feige at December’s Disney Investor Day event. “Samuel L. Jackson is back as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelson from Captain Marvel returns as the Skrull, Talos. Next to Civil War, Secret Invasion is arguably the biggest crossover comic event in the last twenty years and we are bringing it to Disney Plus. It’s about a sect of Skrulls who have infiltrated every level of life on Earth.”

It’s also thought the Disney Plus Secret Invasion series will tie into Captain Marvel 2 starring Brie Larson as it’s speculated Zawe Ashton is playing the Skrull Queen Veranke.
