One of the most exciting aspects of Secret Invasion is the idea that many of Earth’s famed superheroes will be revealed as Skrulls in disguise, leaving viewers questioning which familiar face can be trusted.

While we know the alien antagonists are set to be the main big bads of the show, viewers think they’ve spotted theFantastic Four’scomic book enemy Super-Skrull, the codename of the Skrull soldier Kl’rt.

In two blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments in the trailer, we see a Skrull played by Kingsley Ben-Adir stretching or morphing his hand into various elements. And since Kl’rt possesses the power to mimic the Fantastic Four’s capabilities – including stretching – it could be a hint of his MCU arrival.

When does Fantastic Four take place in the MCU timeline?

Secret Invasion looks really good!And with a specimen sample which appears to be from Cull Obsidian (one of Thanos’ children) and a Skrull which looks to have Groot’s powers – are we getting the Super Skrull? Would be a nice tie in to Fantastic Four!https://t.co/hfx3407MRppic.twitter.com/ZSFZEtb7DV

That being said, Ben-Adir’s character has already been outlined as Gravik, the leader of a group of rebel Skrulls – although he is not comic book canon. What’s more, many have pointed to his final appearance in the trailer in which his arm stretches out into vine-like branches, suggesting he could possess powers similar toGroot’s.

With this in mind, we might be seeing a different iteration of the Super-Skrull, or Gravik could be setting the stage for his arrival. As said byDen of Geek: “The radicals led by Ben-Adir’s Gravik may have prepared by modifying their warriors with the abilities of those heroes, signaling the coming of Super-Skrull and the arrival of the FF and their excellent rogues gallery.”

Given the Skrull’s shapeshifting nature and theever-expanding Marvel universe, anything is possible right now.

Secret Invasion will premiere on Disney+ on July 22, 2025. In the meantime, check out our other superhero TV & movie hubs below:
