Nick Fury has always been a supporting character in the MCU, but he finally got his time in the spotlight with the live-action series for Disney+, Secret Invasion.
The show focussed on the Skrulls, a shapeshifting race introduced in Captain Marvel, and took influence from spy and thriller genres.
But is Secret Invasion coming back for more? Here is what we know. We also have a similar article for Loki season 2.
Will there be a second season of Secret Invasion?
Disney has not confirmed whether or not there will be a second season of Secret Invasion, but we think that it is highly unlikely.
This is because Secret Invasion directly sets up for The Marvels, the next big MCU film that is due to release this November. Nick Fury is a supporting character in the film – you can see the official trailer below:
Secret Invasion also sets up some backstory for Rhodey in his feature film Armor Wars, though this currently does not have a release date. The Skrulls are also almost guaranteed to return, considering that the sixth Avengers film is called Secret Wars – the same name as a popular comic arc that focuses on these enemies.
On top of all of that, the series finale was received quite poorly by both critics and fans, receiving an unimpressive score of 10% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Of course, series director Ali Selim still has hopes for a renewal, stating the following to SFX Magazine: “…there are some characters that are no longer with us and some characters that live to see another challenge. I would love to see that challenge become season 2.”
Many other Marvel series (such as WandaVision) have been standalone, so we think the likelihood is that this will be the same.
Of course, there are characters that we expect to return in other films and shows besides Fury himself. These include Talos’ daughter, G’iah (Emilia Clarke), and MI6 agent Sonya Falsworth (Olivia Coleman).
