With Samuel L. Jackson returning as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as the Skrull Talos — characters who first met in Captain Marvel — the crossover comic event series Secret Invasion showcases a faction of shapeshifting Skrulls, led by Kingsley Ben-Adir's character, who have been infiltrating Earth for years. The series is much smaller in scope than the 2008–09 comic book storyline of the same name, which involved more characters than Avengers: Endgame. Secret Invasion is more about Jackson and Mendelsohn's dynamic, along with the political paranoia embedded in the comic book pages.
