‘Secret Invasion’: Marvel in Talks with Killian Scott for Mystery Role

Dublin Murders’ star Killian Scott has been reportedly cast in a mystery role for Marvel’s upcoming TV show Secret Invasion. The series was announced in late 2020 and will see the return of Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Talos (Ben Mendelsohn), who previously starred in Captain Marvel.

Now, Deadline has reported that Killian Scott will also be joining the ensemble cast in a yet-unknown role. The actor has worked in plenty of other TV shows and recently starred in Starz’s Dublin Murders.

Some of his notable appearances include Love/ Hate, Damnation, Jack Taylor, Call the Midwife, and The Ripper, among many others. He also had minor roles in the British drama series Peaky Blinders and Liam Neeson’s The Commuter.

The series was reported to start filming in April 2021 and as expected, Marvel has been announcing several cast members over the past few weeks. Although the show will not feature the extensive character lineup from the comics, the production company is still putting together an impressive ensemble.

The first to be announced was Kingsley Ben-Adir from One Night In Miami fame and is set to play a villain. Later it was revealed that The Crown‘s Olivia Colman and Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke would be joining the Marvel show as well. But as of now, details regarding their roles remain, true to its title, a secret.

However, with Scott’s role in Secret Invasion still unknown, the character’s identity will probably not be revealed until Marvel Studios officially confirms the actor. Even though Scott may not be as well-known as his other Secret Invasion co-stars, his addition to the cast could just become his breakout role.

Considering that the series will feature many Skrulls, he could be a potential choice to play one of the shape-shifting aliens. Let’s not forget, there is also the possibility of SWORD playing an important role in the upcoming series.

As the casting process for Secret Invasion is currently ongoing, it’ll be interesting to see which other familiar faces from the MCU pop up. WandaVision’s post-credits scene teased Monica Rambeau meeting up with Nick Fury in the near future. 

Thus, it can be presumed that Teyonah Parris will be making a return to her second MCU TV show. Moreover, since the series will also help set up the events of Captain Marvel 2, Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers making an appearance seems likely as well.

However, given the names involved in the upcoming series, the show is bound to stir up a lot of excitement.
