Marvel Releases Secret Invasion's First Five Minutes Early for Free

Marvel Studios is letting fans in on a secret: Secret Invasion's first five minutes. The beginning of the Disney+ miniseries is available for free ahead of its premiere.

Per DiscussingFilm on Twitter, Marvel unveiled the first five minutes of Secret Invasion via theinvasionhasbegun.com. Once fans visit the website, they can access the free footage using the code RSD3PX5N7S. The preview offers a more extensive look at the premise of the show, as well as Samuel L. Jackson reprising his iconic role as Nick Fury.

Secret Invasion is the first "event" in Marvel Cinematic Universe history, an action-adventure show centered around trust, or a lack thereof. The series chronicles the invasion of Earth by a radicalized group of Skrulls, a race of shapeshifting aliens who assume the identities of political figures, among other people, in their quest to take over the planet. The rebel Skrull group, led by Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir), decided to invade Earth after feeling Fury and Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel went back on their word to find their people a new home. As evidenced by trailers and character posters released ahead of the series, it's possible anyone in Secret Invasion could be a Skrull.

Where Nick Fury Stands at the Beginning of Secret Invasion

Because of the pending invasion of Earth, as well as the tragic events of the last two Avengers films, Infinity War and Endgame, Fury appears more vulnerable and pensive than ever in Secret Invasion. The stress from those instances, as well as the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D., have led Fury to question his place in the world and wonder what he has left to offer given his age. Despite these factors, Fury refuses to call the Avengers to help him as he feels he must fight his own battles.

Secret Invasion also stars Ben Mendelsohn as Skrull sect leader and Fury ally Talos, while Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke plays Talos' daughter G'iah, who distrusts Fury after his supposedly broken promise. Martin Freemen reprises his MCU role as Everett K. Ross, while Don Cheadle stars as James "Rhodey" Rhodes/War Machine and Cobie Smulders appears as ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill.

Jackson serves as an executive producer of Secret Invasion, which will consist of six episodes and be the first Phase Five TV series in the MCU. The events of the spy thriller, as confirmed by Jackson, are necessary to set up The Marvels, which hits theaters on Nov. 10.

Secret Invasion premieres on Disney+ on Jun. 21.
