Jackson, Mendelsohn and others are also included. Secret Invasion stars Kingsley Ben-Adir as the series’ mysterious main villain, Dermot Mulroney as U.S. President Ritson, and Olivia Colman, Emilia Clarke, Killian Scott, Christopher McDonald, and Carmen Ejogo in undisclosed roles.

Secret InvasionCobie will be back as Maria Hill with Martin Freeman and Everett K. Ross with Martin Freeman. Don Cheadle is James Rhodes. And given the Skrulls’ ability to shapeshift into anyone, the possibilities for additional cameos from MCU characters, both alive and dead, are only limited by actors’ schedules and interest.

The trailer isn’t publicly available yet, but Smulders shared some info on the upcoming series, which will catch up with Nick after his return home. Smulders said James Rhodes will be returning to action and that the series would have a spy film feel. Secret Invasion will be steeped in conspiracy and intrigue, and it’ll be a real guessing game between who is a human and who is a Skrull.
