Unraveling the Mysteries: 10 Mind-Blowing Unanswered Questions in Secret Invasion

Summary

The sixth episode of Secret Invasion has left fans with numerous lingering questions regarding the future of the MCU. One such puzzle is the exact moment when Everett Ross was replaced by Skrull imposters, throwing his loyalty and true intentions into doubt. Additionally, the identity and purpose of the humans being held captive remains shrouded in mystery.

The destiny of the Skrulls residing within Gravik's compound also remains uncertain, as they are conspicuously absent from the climactic final battle in New Skrullos. Their whereabouts and potential involvement in future narratives beg a closer examination.

As the dust settles, fans eagerly anticipate future installments to shed light on these unresolved threads, captivated by the intricate web of secrets within the Secret Invasion universe.

President Ritson's declaration of war against all alien beings forces humans in the MCU to question whether this condemnation extends to Asgardians and other alien species.

Caution! Spoilers for Secret Invasion episode 6 are present in this article. The final episode of Marvel's latest Disney+ series, Secret Invasion, concluded with several lingering questions that the future of the MCU will need to address. Secret Invasion centers around Nick Fury's return to Earth after spending years in space, aiming to thwart a secret invasion orchestrated by a group of Skrulls led by Gravik. Throughout his mission, Fury joins forces with Talos and G'iah from Captain Marvel, as well as Sonya Falsworth of MI6, all while grappling with the challenge of determining who can be trusted when the enemy is capable of assuming any form.

By the time the finale of Secret Invasion episode 6 rolled around, a team comprising of Fury, G'iah, and Sonya successfully defeated Gravik and his minions. By thwarting Gravik's nefarious plan to instigate a nuclear conflict between the United States and Russia, Fury accomplished his objective of preventing the invasion of Earth by vengeful Skrulls. Nevertheless, the aftermath of Gravik's assault left Secret Invasion's conclusion with a hint of uncertainty, leaving numerous unanswered questions for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

10 When Did Everett Ross Get Replaced By Skrulls?

One theory suggests that Rhodey may have been replaced by a Skrull prior to the Secret Invasion event, possibly starting from Captain America: Civil War. This theory implies that his true identity has been assumed by a Skrull imposter. It is important to note that Secret Invasion also revealed the Skrull infiltration of character Everett Ross in the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline. The latest appearance of Everett Ross occurred in the film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in 2022. In this storyline, his involvement culminated in his apprehension by the CIA and subsequent escape, which was made possible with the assistance of his allies from Wakanda.

With the fervent anticipation surrounding Secret Invasion, fans eagerly hoped that the show would finally shed light on the perplexing mystery surrounding Ross's Skrull replacement and definitively confirm whether his appearance in Wakanda Forever was indeed Ross himself or an imposter Skrull. Regrettably, episode 6 of Secret Invasion failed to provide the long-awaited answer. The gripping scene showcases Ross awakening in the unfamiliar surroundings of New Skrullos, seeking answers from Rhodes about the length of his captivity. However, Rhodes responds with silence, leaving both men to be escorted away from the Skrull compound with no concrete answer regarding the duration of their imprisonment.

9 Who Are The People Sonya & G’iah Found?

Another unresolved aspect of Secret Invasion revolves around the alliance formed between Sonya Falsworth and G'iah. As they pledge to assist each other in the future, an intriguing development unfolds when Sonya and G'iah stumble upon a hidden subterranean cavern teeming with countless individuals. These captives, lying on peculiar stretchers and adorned with what appears to be Skrull technology, include a figure resembling Evan Peters' Quicksilver from WandaVision in Phase 4, suggesting a significant connection.

Despite Sonya and G'iah discovering a large number of imprisoned individuals, the show fails to provide a clear depiction of their identities. It is possible that these captive humans primarily serve Gravik, suggesting that the invasion of Earth mentioned in the title is still ongoing. Alternatively, these individuals may be the humans chosen by the one million Skrulls concealed on Earth to assume their identities. Nonetheless, the lack of clarity is exasperating, and it is hoped that the MCU has a plan to unravel this mystery in the future.

8 What Happened To The Skrulls From Gravik's Compound?

The ultimate showdown between G'iah and Gravik unfolds in Secret Invasion episode 6, within the confines of New Skrullos. In this installment, only Gravik is depicted within the compound, while his followers are conspicuously absent. While Secret Invasion episode 5 portrays a rebellion led by Gravik's supporters, their uprising is swiftly quashed by the Skrull General. It is plausible that the ruthless nature of Gravik compelled the remainder of the Skrull population to forsake New Skrullos, although Secret Invasion episode 6 does not explicitly validate this hypothesis. Consequently, the whereabouts of Gravik's insurgents continues to linger as an unresolved query by the conclusion of the series.

7 Are All Aliens Condemned By Humans, Even Asgardians?

In Secret Invasion episode 6, President Ritson declares war on all alien life forms on Earth, despite being saved by Nick Fury and Sonya. Unfortunately, Ritson fails to recognize that most Skrulls, like Talos, simply desire a place to call home. Instead, he unfairly lumps all Skrulls together, assuming they all possess the violent tendencies of Gravik. This raises the question of whether Earth condemns every alien species or if it is solely the Skrulls.

Additionally, it is worth considering that numerous heroes in the MCU originate from outer space. For instance, Thor and the Asgardians have found a home in Norway, as depicted in Thor: Love and Thunder. It remains to be seen if the American government also targets these individuals or if Ritson's threat is exclusive to the Skrulls.

6 Why Are The Kree Open To Peace Talks With Skrulls?

In Secret Invasion episode 6, Fury mentions that the Kree are open to peace talks with the Skrulls, which is an Easter egg referencing Captain Marvel. This is a nod to the Kree-Skrull war portrayed in the 2019 movie, which initially caused the displacement of the Skrulls. Fury discloses that after more than three decades of conflict, the Kree are now willing to negotiate a peace treaty with the Skrulls. However, Secret Invasion does not provide an explanation for this change in attitude. It is likely that this unanswered question will be addressed in The Marvels. The trailer for The Marvels confirms the presence of a Kree warrior as the villain, suggesting that the events of Secret Invasion will be mentioned in the upcoming MCU film. Likewise, the peace talks between the Skrulls and Kree will also be explored in The Marvels, further indicating that these questions from Secret Invasion will be resolved.

5 When Are Sonya & G’iah Going To Appear Next In The MCU?

The conclusion of Secret Invasion hinted at a future alliance between Sonya and G'iah. Sonya plans to provide G'iah with vital information and resources in light of the human-Skrull war. However, the absence of a post-credit scene in Secret Invasion leaves us uncertain about where Sonya and G'iah will appear in the future. This lack of clarity regarding character appearances, such as Eros, Hercules, Skaar, and now Sonya and G'iah, has been a notable issue in the MCU's Multiverse Saga. Once again, we are left with another unanswered question stemming from Secret Invasion.

4 Will President Ritson’s Choice Tie Into Captain America 4?

The announcement of Harrison Ford joining the cast of Captain America: Brave New World confirmed his role as Thunderbolt Ross, who now assumes the position of President of the United States. However, as of Secret Invasion's conclusion, Ritson remains in office. A clue to Ritson's future is provided when Fury refers to his decision to wage war on the Skrulls as "one-term-President stuff." This suggests the possibility of Ross becoming the future U.S. President, setting the stage for Captain America 4.

3 Just How Powerful Is G'iah Now?

Another aspect that Secret Invasion failed to address is the true extent of G'iah's power after transforming into a Super Skrull. Despite utilizing formidable abilities such as Mantis' empathy and Captain Marvel's light powers, the ramifications of the other DNA samples infused within her remain uncertain. Alongside prominent individuals like Thanos, Thor, and Valkyrie, G'iah was also imbued with genetic material from numerous other potent beings, as revealed in Secret Invasion episode 6. Logically, this should position her as the most formidable entity within the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Nevertheless, Secret Invasion deliberately sidestepped elucidating the full scope of her newfound immense strength.

2 Will The Avengers Ever Learn About The Harvest?

The main premise of Secret Invasion revolved around the Harvest, which consisted of samples of each Avenger's DNA. These DNA samples were utilized by Gravik to perfect his Super Skrull machine. However, the series left unanswered whether the Avengers would discover the existence of the Harvest. It seems unlikely that the Avengers would be accepting of Fury possessing their DNA, especially considering that these samples were nearly used to bring about the end of the world. Unfortunately, Secret Invasion did not delve into this matter, leaving it as a possible subject for future exploration within the MCU.

1 Will Varra Be In The Marvels?

In the concluding events of Secret Invasion, Fury made a comeback to S.A.B.E.R. accompanied by his wife Varra. This raises the question of whether Varra's involvement will extend to The Marvels. Varra mentioned that she would join Fury in space, but temporarily, as she intends to return to Earth. The Marvels might incorporate a time leap, showcasing Varra's presence back on Earth, or alternatively, Fury's wife could have a role in the narrative. Secret Invasion, however, failed to provide an answer to this query, leaving it to The Marvels to elucidate Varra's forthcoming appearances.
