Secret Invasion star Kingsley Ben-Adir expressed his desire to collaborate with Mark Ruffalo in the future. As Secret Invasion brings together various MCU stars, such as Everett Ross, Maria Hill, Nick Fury, Talos, and James "Rhodey" Rhodes, the prospect of the Skrull facing off against one of the remaining Avengers holds great excitement.
During an exclusive interview with Screen Rant for Secret Invasion, Ben-Adir was asked about his preferred MCU character to interact with in future projects. Without hesitation, he named Ruffalo, not specifically for his character, but rather for the opportunity to work with him as an actor. Should this collaboration occur, it could pave the way for a captivating confrontation between the Skrull and the Hulk. Read Ben-Adir's full statement below:
Kingsley Ben-Adir: Just on a selfish actor level, I guess maybe Mark Ruffalo. He's great. I'd love to work with him.
Could The Secret Invasion Antagonist Have A Larger Role To Play In The MCU?
If Gravik survives the Secret Invasion, he may have a significant role to play in the MCU. Both the trailer and Ben-Adir himself have hinted at the possibility of Gravik transforming into the Super-Skrull, a formidable adversary in the comics. While Secret Invasion could portray Fury triumphing over the Skrull invasion, it might not necessarily lead to Gravik's demise. This scenario could pave the way for the antagonist's potential comeback, with heightened resentment and fury.
The inclusion of Gravik as the Super-Skrull in the MCU poses a significant long-term challenge for Fury and the heroes. In the comics, the Super-Skrull clashes with the Fantastic Four, a group that will soon be introduced into the MCU. As a formidable adversary, the Super-Skrull could become a formidable obstacle for the remaining Avengers, including The Hulk, who may struggle to defeat him. This could pave the way for the Fantastic Four to emerge as the last hope in vanquishing the Super-Skrull. Despite Ruffalo's absence in Secret Invasion, if Marvel chooses to spare Gravik, a future confrontation between him and the Hulk could be established. With the combination of Gravik's Skrull abilities and the powers of the Super-Skrull, he becomes an exhilarating villain who has the potential to pose a significant threat to the entirety of the MCU.
