Mind-Blowing Plot Twist Unveiled: Find Out What's in Store After Secret Invasion Episode 4's Epic Cliffhanger!

Following the intense cliffhanger in episode 4 of Secret Invasion, Dermot Mulroney, who portrays US President Ritson in the Marvel Studios Disney+ show, shares insights into the upcoming developments. Ritson finds himself caught in the midst of the conflict between Gravik and Nick Fury. In the climactic moments of the eventful 'Beloved' episode, Ritson's diplomatic mission falls under attack by Gravik and his associates. Fortunately, Fury and Talos the Skrull arrive just in the nick of time to rescue him.

Despite his unconscious state during the entire ordeal, Ritson remains oblivious to the events that unfolded before Fury intervenes and whisks him away. In an interview with TV Line, Mulroney sheds light on how his character will react upon waking up. Additionally, he hints at how Ritson will respond upon discovering that Rhodey is actually a Skrull. Read Mulroney's complete statement below.

[After the ambush, Ritson] enters a period of recovery... only to transition into a state of revenge. I don't want to reveal too much, but he is utterly disgusted by this attack. Therefore, any semblance of forgiveness he might have had — the notion that they could coexist by reigning in this radical splinter group — is shattered when they obliterate him. Now, he is unequivocal in his stance. Although his screen time is limited, he ultimately expresses his views. In the words of Yoda, which resonate with him, "...anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering." Consequently, President Ritson is propelled towards extremism as a result. If he cannot trust someone as loyal as James Rhodes, then who can he trust? This division becomes a defining factor for Ritson.

What To Expect From Secret Invasion’s Final Two Episodes

With only two episodes remaining, Secret Invasion is nearing its highly anticipated conclusion. As Marvel Studios prepares to bring all the ongoing storylines together, viewers can expect President Ritson to take center stage. While his presence was initially limited in the earlier episodes, his character will now play a pivotal role in making sense of the chaotic events unfolding. However, this depends on Fury's success in safeguarding him from the clutches of Gravik.

With Talos the Skrull deceased, Fury is left to rely on himself. While he can communicate with G'iah, he currently lacks any other available allies. Nonetheless, if he can successfully persuade Ritson that his intentions are genuine, he might have a chance to rescue Earth from the treacherous shape-shifting aliens. It's important to mention, however, that President Ritson's presence in the MCU is expected to be brief, as Captain America: Brave New World is set to introduce a new US leader in the form of Thunderbolt Ross, portrayed by Harrison Ford.

As Secret Invasion gradually draws to a conclusion, it remains uncertain whether the Marvel Studios series can effectively adapt one of the most beloved storylines from the comics. With two episodes left, there is still ample opportunity for significant developments. Considering the pattern established by previous Disney+ shows in the MCU, the upcoming second-to-last episode will play a crucial role in shaping the finale. With these factors in mind, fans should be sure to tune in for Secret Invasion episode 5 this week, especially in light of Mulroney's remarks.
