After all, we must suspect everyone that they’re a Skrull before we find out the truth.Escape Plan 2: Hades is a 2018 American direct-to-video prison action thriller film directed by Steven C. And I wouldn’t mind the slow burn to get us there. I’d love Marvel to have the courage to deliver some mind-blowing Secret Invasion twists that could impact the story. That’s actually my biggest expectation for the new MCU show. I’d love for some of our favorite characters to turn out to be Skrulls in disguise for longer than just Secret Invasion. Imagine if the Skrulls have infiltrated Earth and the Avengers to such a degree that mounting a cohesive defense against Kang will be almost impossible. I explained in my previous coverage that Secret Invasion can massively impact the MCU. I’m still looking forward to catching all the action. 2) I still believe SI is one of the best things Marvel has put out, regardless of what critics have put out.ģ) If at any point I seemed smug to you, it wasn’t my intent.
