Marvel's upcoming Secret Invasion series could potentially undo Captain Marvel's Skrulls twist, teases MCU star Cobie Smulders. As one of Marvel's most exciting additions to their upcoming Disney+ slate, Secret Invasion is expected to hit screens early next year and will mark the return of S.H.I.E.L.D director and fan-favorite character Nick Fury (Samuel L.
