Some have said it is almost too much with a plethora of films like Eternals (November 5, 2021), Spider-Man: No Way Home (December 17, 2021), and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (March 25, 2022) all coming relatively soon. And, there are just as many new Marvel shows on Disney+ like Hawkeye (November 24, 2021) and Ms. Marvel (early 2022).
One of the most anticipated projects is Secret Invasion which just started filming in London last month. It will be Marvel Studio’s take on one of the most popular Marvel Comics storylines of all time. And, it will star none other than Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, who just revealed he more than prepared for his Marvel return.
