Samuel L. Jackson is back as Nick Fury and ready to take on the Skrulls in “one last fight” during an explosive new look at the upcoming Disney+ miniseries Secret Invasion.
Marvel revealed the newest trailer on Sunday, which offered a bigger look at its star-studded cast, including Emilia Clarke, Olivia Colman, Don Cheadle, Martin Freeman, Ben Mendelsohn, Cobie Smulders and Kingsley Ben-Adir.

It’s an effort being overseen by Ben-Adir’s Gravik, who’s leading a group of rebel Skrulls that believe the best way to protect their race is by infiltrating Earth and taking its resources.
The new trailer gives a preview of the escalating war for Earth as Nick Fury returns from space to stop the Skrulls. It also evokes the thrill and excitement the first trailer of the series cultivated in fans, while recreating the same sense of urgency and paranoia from the Skrull infiltration.
Viewers also get glimpses of allies and foes as the trailer does a marvelous job of walking the tightrope of showcasing its all-star cast without giving too much away.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair teasing the upcoming series, Samuel L. Jackson explained the notable absence of Fury’s eyepatch, something the actor called part of who the “strong Nick Fury was.”
“It’s part of his vulnerability now,” he continued. “You can look at it and see he’s not this perfectly indestructible person. He doesn’t feel like that guy.”
As evidenced in a previous trailer for the series, released in September, Fury will have to, at least in part, answer for his Earthly absence. “I haven’t been back on Earth in a minute. And as Cobie will say, she’s been trying to reach me and contact me, but I’ve been ignoring her messages,” Jackson explained.
