With the Secret Invasion trailer having finally reared its head, it’s no surprise that fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, like dire wolves to a dead bison, have since flocked to pick it apart frame by frame. 6v2d2v

Beyond seeming to deliver on its promised tonal departure from the rest of the franchise, there was one sneak peek in particular that sent the internet into a mini-tizzy; namely Gravik’s surprise stretching capabilities. From there, it only took a hop, skip, and jump before the Super-Skrull rumors began buzzing about.

We broke down the nuances behind Super-Skrull before, but the gist of his powers are harboring the abilities of each member of the Fantastic Four, including Mister Fantastic’s elasticity. And with Gravik seemingly tapping into such a skill in the fresh footage, perhaps Secret Invasion will play a role in ushering Marvel’s first family into Kevin Feige’s multiverse.

Not everyone is convinced that Gravik is who half of the internet seems to assume he is; the MCU may have gotten bolder and bolder in its creative liberties lately, but introducing Super-Skrull before the Fantastic Four just seems a touch too strange, considering that the villain is one of the team’s most prominent adversaries.

On the other hand, if we were actually right to follow this particular trail of breadcrumbs, all it would take is one monologue from Gravik to kickstart yet another argument.

Fantastic Four teases or not, it looks like we have a lot to look forward to in Secret Invasion, a series that looks all but ready to take the deviant nature of the MCU’s Disney Plus library to new heights, just as Andor did for Star Wars not long ago.

Secret Invasion will premiere on Disney Plus on June 21.

Even with all the detailed set coverage concerning The Avengers, no physical snapshots have confirmed whether or not Loki’s “mentioned army” will be the shape-shifting villainous Skrulls. There have been guys on set wearing CGI suits, but in big budget movies that are reliant on special effects this basically means nothing. But now, thanks to image renders from a recently canceled Avengers videogame tie-in, screenshots have surfaced of the green skinned baddies in combat with Thor. This is all still speculation but it’s the best source of proof that the rumors online about the Skrulls invading Earth next year are true (in the movie version of course). This is maybe an early concept design on how they will appear in the film, displaying a large heavy grunt who resembles the Hulk in size and a nimble looking female Skrull. Not far off from their comic interpretation, the aliens have more modern costumes but still retain their prominent rocky chins and extremely pointy ears. Video footage of the canceled game has been removed, which is understandable, but it will eventually pop up sometime in the future. No doubt these screens will ignite all sorts of debate on whether the images of a canned game is enough to justify spoilers for a movie adaptation. This is even more of an issue when you factor in that video games based on films don’t have the best track record for following the proper plot line, not to mention the villains that are included. But nonetheless, this is an early sign and a prevalent indication that the Skrulls will be the reinforcements that Loki refers to from the footage shown at D23 earlier this month. Those looking forward to seeing a Super Skrull cause damage onscreen next summer have almost officially gotten their wish granted to them. Expect an update on this story in the immediate coming weeks.

Just as the final character roster has been confirmed through a video, so has the final boss. The super-cheap boss character that is going to frustrate you to no end is going to be none other than Marvel’s Galactus, the World Eater. Check out the video below if you want to see him in action. Obviously, spoilers ahead. Capcom has been taking these videos down pretty quick so let us know in the comments if the video is no longer available.

With the highly anticipated release of Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds creeping ever closer, the character roster has been slowly revealed in weekly updates. With the latest announcement of Sentinel and Hsien-Ko, the final character roster is now complete and comprises of 38 characters (36 on the disk and 2 DLC characters). The official list can also be viewed on the MVC3 site. Without further a due, here is the final confirmed character roster for Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds.
