Below is a list of all of the main stars appearing in this series along with the roles that many are confirmed to play.
Warning - The rest of this article contains spoilers for Secret Invasion.
1.) Samuel L. Jackson - Nick Fury
Making his MCU-record 12th appearance, Samuel L. Jackson now takes on his first leading effort as the central character of Secret Invasion. This show will be first and foremost a Nick Fury adventure as the former SHIELD director returns to Earth looking to get to the bottom of the Skrull's plan to take over his home planet.
At the start of the series, Fury is still finding his footing again as he steps foot on Earth for the first time in years, working to find out who he can trust and how he can get back to full strength.
At the end of the series, Fury leaves Earth to return to his space base, SABER Fury will next be seen in The Marvels.
2.) Ben Mendelsohn - Talos
Talos has been hiding out on Earth since before the events of Spider-Man: Far From Home, returning to prominence in Secret Invasion as Ben Mendelsohn makes his third appearance in the MCU. The Skrull leader's friendship with Fury is still very much intact, but along with losing his wife, Soren, he's been kicked off the Skrull council and exiled by his people.
The shapeshifter looks to rebuild his own relationships with his friends and family as he helps Fury find out the secrets behind why his people are on Earth and taking over in a malicious fashion.
Talos meets his ends at the hands of Gravik in the 4th episode of Secret Invasion.
3.) Cobie Smulders - Maria Hill
Cobie Smulders made her first appearance in the MCU since Spider-Man: Far From Home, with that movie revealing that Talos' wife Soren had been posing as her through the whole affair. Unfortunately, however, Maria Hill's reunion with Nick Fury in this series would seemingly be her last, as the veteran SHIELD agent was killed off at the end of Episode 1.
Smulders' veteran spy bled out in the middle of Vossoyedineniye Square on Russia's Unity Day, and unless a miracle comes through, the character's time in the MCU appears to be at an end.
Maria Hill's Secret Invasion journey did not last long, as she was killed by Gravik while he was shapeshifting to look like Nick Fury.
4.) Martin Freeman - Everett Ross / Skrull
Martin Freeman's Everett Ross only appeared in the opening scene of Secret Invasion, although he was quickly revealed to be a Skrull spy after falling off of a tall building and being shot by Talos.
Currently, it's a complete mystery if the real Everett Ross is still alive and kicking in the MCU, leaving his place in the story after Black Panther: Wakanda Forever a complete mystery for now.
It is revealed early on that there has been a Skrull pretending to be Ross for some time now, who is killed early in episode 1. The human Everett Ross is awoken from his pod at the conclusion of the show.
5.) Kingsley Ben-Adir - Gravik
The main villain of Secret Invasion will come in the form of a Skrull named Gravik, played by Kingsley Ben-Adir, who played a key role in the show's first episode. Gravik leads a group of rogue Skrulls who have taken over a radioactive plant in Russia as a home base, with the aliens still in search of a new home as the group's leader holds resentment against Talos and Fury for failing to do just that.
By the end of the episode, not only does he ignite the bomb that blows up Vossoyedineniye Square, but he then disguises himself as Fury and shoots Maria Hill to her death.
Gravik achieves his goal of acquiring The Harvest (a vial with DNA from the heroes and villains present at the final battle in Avengers: Endgame). Gravik meets his end at the hands of G'iah, who also becomes enhanced with the powers of The Harvest.
6.) Emilia Clarke - G’iah
Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke makes her MCU debut in Secret Invasion Episode 1, playing a grown-up version of Talos' daughter, G'iah, who was first seen in Captain Marvel. As an adult, however, G'iah has aligned herself with Gravik, but she later learns about her mother's death and starts to have a change of heart.
While she can't stop the bombing in time alongside Fury and Talos, it seems most likely that she'll wind up working with her father again as she looks for a new way to help the Skrulls survive.
G'iah ends the series by taking in the powers in The Harvest, arguably becoming the most powerful person in the MCU. She is recruited by Sonya Falsworth to help identify rogue Skrulls who are left on Earth.
7.) Olivia Colman - Sonya Falsworth
Joining the Marvel universe as Sonya Falsworth is Academy Award winner Olivia Colman, who only had a short bit of screen time in the first episode of this Disney+ series. Even though she boasts ties to the noted Howling Commando James Montgomery Falsworth from Captain America: The First Avenger, her intentions seem to be more malicious right now as her spy nature shone in this first episode.
Sonya and Fury discussed their past encounters with one another, although it's clear that her villainous intentions will come through before too many more episodes pass by.
After helping Nick Fury out the Skrull that was pretending to be Coronel Rhodes, Sonya recruits G'iah to help her continue to out the Skrull invasion on Earth.
8.) Don Cheadle - James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes / Raava
Don Cheadle returns for his second appearance in the MCU's Multiverse Saga as James Rhodes/War Machine, serving as an advisor to the President of the United States in this first episode.

9.) Charlayne Woodard - Priscilla Fury / Varra
Secret Invasion will give fans a first-ever look into Nick Fury's home life as the story dives into his relationship with his wife, Priscilla, who will make her MCU debut.
