Between GOG3 and The Marvels. Phase 4 Ends with this Movie and Phase 5 begins with The Marvels. Semi-Sequel to Captain Marvel (2019) and Prequel to The Marvels. Plays at the same time as Ms. Marvel. Budget: 300 Million US-Dollar Box Office: 1,4 Billion US-Dollar Thaddeus Ross was recast with Harrison Ford due to the death of William Hurt shortly before filming began on Avengers: Secret Invasion. In the Credits Hurt was mentioned. Released on June 23, 2023, Avengers: Secret Invasion picks up with Nick Fury returning to Earth, his mission: to uncover an alarming Skrull invasion that has silently infiltrated Earth's power structures. The Avengers are called together to investigate, but as the mystery deepens, they discover that not only politicians but even some of their own ranks have been replaced by Skrulls. The film weaves together a tense, superhero-driven thriller where mistrust plays a pivotal role. Fury and the Avengers must navigate through a labyrinth of deception, realizing that the Skrull Queen Varanke is behind it all. In a shocking twist, the beloved Captain Marvel is revealed to have been replaced by the Super-Skrull, Kl'rt, since the events of Endgame. The revelation comes just as the Avengers uncover the terrifying truth: more than a billion people on Earth have already been replaced by Skrulls. The core Avengers are torn between fighting these alien impostors and freeing those who have been replaced, including some long-time allies. The Skrulls have infiltrated every level of society, with Rhodey (since TFATWS), Clint (since Hawkeye), Wong (since Doctor Strange 2), and even Everett Ross (since Black Panther) revealed as impostors. Meanwhile, Maria Hill’s true identity as the Skrull Soren is unveiled, revealing she has been a sleeper agent since the very first Avengers movie. In the final act, Fury and his team launch a daring assault to free the human hostages held by the Skrulls and destroy their operation. But not all is as it seems. As they secure a victory, Fury begins to question the true extent of the Skrull threat on Earth, and the stakes grow ever higher.
