    It's entirely possible they've merged Talos' Daughter and Abigail Brand into one character for this.

    Like how Nolan took Henri Ducard and Ra's Al Ghul and made them the same person in his movies.

    Or how Bryan Singer merged William Stryker and Professor Thornton into the same character in the FoX-Men movies.

    That's really not that unusual, a lot big movies like this go through multiple drafts by a ton of different writers.
    That's pretty much the approach I was expecting Secret Invasion to take. Still sounds like it'll be good though. The spoiler was not what I was expecting.

    I imagine there's going to be a lot of spectacular, amazing and unbelievable announcements coming in the next day or so. Don't believe any of them.

    So you're telling me the big Disney+ special that features Grogu touring the MCU isn't happening?! :(

    Oh right, it's "don't read anything on the internet for at least 24hrs" day. They come around so fast!

    I hope they introduce Doctor Doom as Salieri …maybe by having him recollect his wedding gone wrong…him lamenting the breakup of the Fantastic Four:

    “No introduction is necessary…you know their origins, child.”

    You have him absent minded you doling out punishments, Doombots…unconnected images…fighting Iron Man toe to toe…a day in the life…but it has no meaning.

    Here is where Mephisto and his realm need be introduced…if for no other reason for one of the best lines in Marvel history:

    Doom: “I’m not supposed to be here.”
    MEPHISTO: “That’s what they all say.”

    I think at this point, the MCU should just avoid Mephisto on general principle. That way they can always rely on a dedicated portion of the fanbase utterly convinced that *this* time it really will be him for sure!

    Man I can't believe Terrence Howard and Edward Norton are coming back for Secret Invasion.

    And once upon a time I would never have thought Bret Hart would have been in a WWF/WWE ring after 1997/1999.

    So Coleman's character is a Falsworth. I did not know that.

    So the first episode is dropping two days before my birthday. Happy birthday to me, indeed.

    When this comes out the soundtrack should keep the orchestral stings every five seconds.

    I think this is the first time in quite a while that I've been really excited about a MCU production again.

    I wouldn't say I'm excited exactly, but this is the most interested I've been in an MCU project's plot detail in a while.

    For example: Fury's gravestone rather jumped out at me, since that's not his fake one from CA:TWS. Could we be getting a "classic" WWII Commando/60's spy Fury flashback?

    The new trailer is pretty nice but I got more out of the Vanity Fair article. Either way, I'm still pretty excited!

    How do you figure? The Vanity Fair article only mentions she's an MI6 agent that Fury has known for a long time.

    I noticed that it was a different gravestone but I don't know if that actually means anything. Wouldn't be the first time a set changed but was suppose to represent the same thing.
