Olivia Coleman (The Favorite, The Crown) is in talks to join the cast of Marvel's Secret Invasion.
The British actress, who is up for her second Academy Award for her performance in The Father, is said to be in final negotiations for a role in the upcoming Disney+ series, but details on her character are being withheld.
Plot details are also under wraps, but we do know that Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn will reprise their Captain Marvel roles as Nick Fury and Talos, respectively. It's also been confirmed that the show will focus on "an infiltration of Skrulls on Earth."
One Night In Miami star Kingsley Ben-Adir will play the lead villain. We don't know who that'll be, but Dorrek VII, Emperor of the Skrull Empire, is a strong possibility.
Kyle Bradstreet (Mr. Robot) is writing and executive producing Secret Invasion, and directors are currently being sought. Production is expected to get underway in The UK and Europe this fall.
Coleman is one of the most in-demand and well respected actors working today, so this is a massive get for Marvel. It's a shame we don't know more (well, anything) about her character, but be sure to share your guesses with us in the comments down below.
