The trailer for Disney Plus’ latest Marvel outing Secret Invasion had everyone hoping the elite shock troops known as Super-Skrulls could be making their big entrance in the show, specifically via the character of Kingsley Ben-Adir, aka Gravik. The British actor, who rose to prominence as Peaky Blinders‘ Colonel Ben Younger, is cooling fans down ahead of the series premiere, if only just partially.
Speaking to become as powerful as all of [his enemies] put together,” which is a plan that might extend beyond the show (maybe into the Fantastic Four film?).
When the outlet asked Ben-Adir to clarify whether he meant that Gravik could become a Super-Skrull eventually, the 37-year-old confirmed, “Super-Skrull, yeah.”
Fans were initially convinced this evolution would happen sooner rather than later based on a small moment in the trailer where Gravik’s limbs grow and extend outwards in what is a display of the Skrull’s powers that we hadn’t seen before in the MCU. Others were quick to point out, however, that, in the comics, this skill isn’t necessarily exclusive to Super-Skrulls. Still, based on what Ben-Adir has shared, it really does sound like Gravik is intentionally written in a way that hints towards a future as one of the enhanced soldiers of the alien race.
All questions will get their answers when Secret Invasion finally makes its way to Disney Plus on Wednesday, June 21.
