Spoiler Alert: This story discusses plot developments in Episode 2 of Marvel Studios’ “Secret Invasion,” currently streaming on Disney+.

In every appearance, Jackson exudes preternatural calm and cunning as one of the most formidable, non-superpowered humans in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But it wasn’t until the actor’s first foray as the lead in an MCU project — the Disney+ series “Secret Invasion” — that Marvel has really addressed the fact that Nick Fury is also a Black man who grew up in America.
“We very seldom deal with Nick Fury in that way,” Jackson says.

It’s trailer time once again in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Disney is largely focused on promoting Black Panther: Wakanda Forever right now, let’s remember Phase 5 is also kicking off with a bang thanks to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. In fact, things are looking darker than ever before in the first trailer for the latter film. This doesn’t quite look like the usual comedic adventure you’ve come to expect from these subatomic heroes.
The clue is in the name that Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang/Ant-Man will once again be sharing the screen with Evangeline Lilly’s Hope van Dyne/Wasp, and that we’ll finally be spending some real time in the Quantum Realm. This mysterious land features briefly in 2018’s Ant-Man and the Wasp, but here, it looks like it will be what ultimately unleashes the MCU’s next Thanos in the form...
