Fresh off a star-making performance as Malcolm X in Regina King’s One Night in Miami, Kingsley Ben-Adir has been cast in Marvel Studios’ Secret Invasion series. Ben-Adir will play a lead opposite Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn’s Talos. Early reports state Ben-Adir is set to play the villain of the series.
Secret Invasion is based on the crossover Marvel comic event of the same name. The story revolves around
“a faction of shape-shifting Skrulls who have been living on Earth for years. They could be anyone: Your friends, neighbors, or even your significant other”
While there is little is known about how Marvel plans to pull off the event on the small screen, there is no doubt Marvel has the chops to pull it off and exceed expectations.
