Secret Invasion

Didn't they waste him in She Hulk or

Uh, nvm I'm thinking of Skaar.

Hulkling would make more sense getting introduced in The Marvels I think.

Why would he be in this show? So far it doesn't seem like the Kree will show up, not yet at least.

It's either here or on Marvels, really.

Long lost heir to the Skrull empire or secret son of Mar-Vell and the Prince(ss) of the Skrulls. Either works just fine.

We got some new character posters for this show.

Love how it's using fake Twitter community posts telling you not to trust them too. Really going in on the paranoia themes, even in the marketing...

Love the splashes of color to make it seem like anyone could be a Skrull.

It's super-cute that they have fake "misleading image" disclaimers on them.

"Surprise! I've been a Skrull all along!"

"The surprise is on you! I'm a Skrull!"

"I got both of you! I'm a Skrull!"

"Wait a minute, is there anyone here that isn't a Skrull?"

Reminds me of that Oglaf comic where a bunch of shapeshifters assassinate the king only to find out that the king was also a shapeshifter.

And hey, we do have a trope for this: Flock of Wolves

Marvel just released a preview clip from the show. It's a short scene.

Gotta say I'm liking the tone of this.

I'm really excited for this show.I'm surprised that Fury is stated to be at the SABER Station from The Marvels.

Two weeks folks!!!

Man, that Preacod dude is paranoid with a capital P.

Let's hope the show will knock people's socks off. Because looking at the public's perception of the MCU right now, we're gonna need something miraculous.

So, I guess if that was a Skrulll impersonating Ross, they didn't know he's in Wakanda.

He's not though?

At the end of Wakanda Forever Ross gets arrested for treason and sprung by the Wakandans, so either that is going to be ignored/mentioned in passing before they move on or he shouldn't be doing CIA spy missions at all.

Yeah, I know about that. But Ross wasn't in Wakanda when he got sprung out, he was in the U.S.

So either Ross is doing some under-the-radar work while hiding in another country (though that does bring up the question of what the hell he's actually doing), or he's a Skrull. Though considering what happened in Wakanda Forever, I can't imagine the Skrull being able to do much using Ross's identity without making people suspicious.

Right he was in the US and wanted for treason. It would make sense for him to go to Wakanda, seeing as they just busted him out of custody. And that second point is probably why they end up getting into a fight at the end of the clip.

Wherever the hell Ross is right now, it sure as hell ain't Wakanda.

Because he went to Wakanda and then somehow get the whole treason thing taken care of and can go to vaguely Eastern European cities for missions, OR he is a Skrull and the other guy figures it out because Ross should be in prison.

Honestly, what aren't you understanding about this theory?

I'm not understanding where you got the idea that Ross went to Wakanda at all after being released. Just because Okoye freed him doesn't mean she got him a plane ticket to her home country as well.

It's more likely that he was left to his own devices in America before eventually figuring out a way to flee to another country where he can hide out for the time being. After all, committing espionage in front of someone like Val isn't just something that's going to magically resolve itself offscreen.

So you think the Wakandans directly endangered Ross by asking him to spy for them, then after he got arrested for treason, they sprung him from prison transport and then said "k, we're even now, bye!'?

That is more dangerous than just leaving him in custody.

Ross is a CIA field agent, a job where people are trained to go undercover and get to places without anyone else knowing. He doesn't need Wakanda to get himself off the radar.

Plus, if the U.S caught both him and Okoye again, Wakanda would be embroiled in another political scandal they have to deal with, which they really don't need or have time to deal with right now.
