The next Marvel project may not be on the big screen, but it's definitely going to be a big one.‘Secret Invasion' is set to release on Disney+ on June 21, 2023. The countdown has officially begun!

After ‘Loki’ Season 2, ‘Secret Invasion’ is the most-anticipated series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and rightfully so. This upcoming series will feature some of the greatest existing cast members, while also bringing in A-list celebrities.

‘Secret Invasion’ features on the cover of Empire magazine

Marvel fans were treated by Empire magazine to two covers of 'Secret Invasion,' both of which perfectly represent what to expect from the upcoming series on Disney+. For all comic book fans, 'Secret Invasion' will be one hell of a ride as it is a popular storyline where a Skrull invasion threatens to destroy Earth. Undoubtedly, Samuel L Jackson's return to the franchise is the most anticipated event, and it's clear to see on these magazine covers. Nick Fury, portrayed by Jackson, has been key to many storylines in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and this is the best way to honor his return.

‘Secret Invasion’ to set the tone for MCU phases 5 and 6

While everyone is admittedly excited for 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,' Loki' Season 2, and other projects planned for Phases 5 and 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, 'Secret Invasion' will set the tone for those phases, and here's why. The new phases are taking bold steps and pages out of the comics with titles like 'Thunderbolts' or 'Avengers: Secret Wars,' but the beginning of it all lies with 'Secret Invasion.'

Also, 'Secret Invasion' will be related in one way or another to 'The Marvels,' which will be released later in 2023. Nick Fury and Captain Marvel almost go hand in hand in the MCU and the comics, so be on the lookout for post-credit scenes and Easter Eggs when 'Secret Invasion' comes out. But for now, enjoy the glory of Nick Fury!
