Secret Invasion‘s third installment will air on Wednesday, marking the halfway point for the six-episode first season. So far it’s been a politically complex, thematically rich, and (so far) cape-free journey through the more serious side of the MCU, as Nick Fury’s broken promises come back to haunt him.
Not helping Fury and co is that he’s facing off against aliens with the ability to disguise themselves as anyone, with last week revealing that Skrulls have infiltrated the highest levels of geopolitical power. As per the Marvel Comics arc this series is based on, fans are expecting some big reveals in the coming episodes that established heroes have secretly been Skrulls for years.
Now, the official Marvel Studios Twitter is having a little fun, asking us to complete an impossible Captcha:
In this picture alone, we have six confirmed Skrulls. That leaves Nick Fury in panel four, Maria Hill in panel six, and Sonya Falsworth in panel nine. We’re pretty sure Fury isn’t a Skrull as the MCU pulled that trick before in Far From Home. Maria Hill died in episode one and didn’t revert to a Skrull on her death, so she’s out too. And as for Olivia Colman’s Sonya? The jury is still out on that, though she does have a suspiciously thorough knowledge of Skrull anatomy.
Answers should be arriving soon. Our top suspect for being a Skrull is Don Cheadle’s James Rhodes, who was acting very suspiciously in the most recent episode. But if the Secret Invasion Rhodes is a Skrull, what happened to the real one?
Secret Invasion airs Wednesdays on Disney Plus.
