In a time like the present, in which action productions on film, television and streaming with pretensions to commercial success are generally led by young stars, here we have them. Samuel L. Jacksonand Olivia Colman regarding to appear on the other side of the Zoom, in a matter of minutes, and in secret invasiona, from Marvel, on Disney+ devices, starting this Wednesday, June 21.
Samuel reprises the role of Nick Fury, the character who appears the most times in all productions of MarvelWhether in movies or series. He did it, counting Secret Invasion, 14 times. And in November we will also see it in The Marvelscontinuation of Captain Marvel.
In addition to secret invasionBoth interpreters are united, but not much, by the Hollywood Academy Award. Jackson was only nominated once, when he was nominated for Violent times (Pulp Fiction1993), by his friend Quentin Tarantino, for best supporting actor.

Colman has much more Oscar experience, and more recently: she won Best Actress in a Leading Role forThe favouriteand was nominated as a supporting actress for The father and leading by the dark daughterthe Netflix.
If the motto of the series is “Who do you trust?”, well, the characters on one side and the other may well be eaten by the same question. The Skrulls appear, whom we already saw in the first movie of Captain Marvel (2019). These aliens lost their planet, and the human they placed their trust in, hoping to find a new homeland, well, seems to have let them down.
“I’m a Marvel fan,” Oscar winner Olivia Colman told Clarín.
The series takes place in the current MCU, that is, several decades following the events of Captain Marvel. Fury returns to Earth, where he learns that a Skrull rebel group threatens the human race. Fury, Jackson reminds us, “is old and he’s tired.” Also acting are Ben Mendelsohn (Misanthropicby Damian Szifron), Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) and Kingsley Ben-Adir, whom we will see in Barbie.
When does Olivia Colman’s character enter? She is Sonya Falsworth, a deadly, experienced English MI6 agent who has been tracking Gravik – the young mastermind behind the rogue Skrulls and their mission to take over Earth – and the rebels. “Sonya is an old friend of Nick Fury, they respect each other, but they don’t trust each other,” says British Colman.
The rogue Skrulls want to take over the Earth. But there’s Nick Fury, whom Jackson clarifies, “is old and tired.”
Sarah Caroline Olivia Colman is 49 years old; married to screenwriter Ed Sinclair, they have three children. Samuel L. Jackson is already 74 years old.
And already in the formal greetings at the beginning, Samuel L. Jackson is shown as the protagonist, even in the questions that are not specifically directed at him. He will joke that he knows “nothing” regarding Argentina, because “I’ve never been there, but I want to go”, to which his castmate adds, who assures that “We should go. Would you do it?” To the first serious question, addressed to Olivia Colman, the one who starts answering is the actor from The 8 most hated.

-Olivia, it’s not usual to see you in a production like “Secret Invasion”, what did the people at Marvel do to convince you to act in an action miniseries?
-Samuel L. Jackson: (which gets into the answer) Well, you know, I’m an employee of Marvel. And when they told me they had a story regarding me, which is very different from the things I’ve been doing… Well, I’m looking forward to finding out what that is and jumping right in and doing it.
The fact that it’s a story that leads people to solve the answer instead of superheroes, well, I’m there to do it.
Kingsley Ben-Adir as Gravik, the rebel leader of the Skrulls. The actor, seen in “Peaky Blinders,” is one of Ken’s in the upcoming “Barbie.”
Nick Fury gets a chance to see what he does when he’s not with the “supers”, it’s a chance to meet people who have been a part of his success in the past and find out how he came from that character we saw in Captain MarvelFrom a humble, you know, FBI agent to the guy that Nick Fury has become. It is part of this story that you discover. So there’s a chance to put some meat on the bones.
Olivia Colman, Marvel fanatic
-And Olivia, returning to the question, how did they convince you?
Olivia Colman is Agent Sonya Falsworth. “I shouldn’t say I’m a fan, they’re going to pay me less next time if I ever come back,” she said.
Oh, they didn’t need to convince me. I’m a fan of all genres of stories and art forms, and I’m a fan of Marvel. I have loved it, I have been moved by everything they have released. And so, when I got even a little whisper of “Would you do a Marvel one?”… Yes, please. Know? I shouldn’t say that, they’re going to pay me less next time if I ever come back.
-Samuel L. Jackson: (Whispers to her) You’re coming back, right?
The truth is that Jackson has been playing Fury since the post-credits scene of the first Iron Manin 2008. “If it was up to me, I would have been in every Marvel movie because, I mean, he’s Nick Fury, he knows everything that’s going on. I’m still trying to figure out why I’ve never been to Wakanda,” she said. .
Emilia Clarke also participates in the series. The actress who was Daenerys Targaryen in “Game of Thrones” is G’iah, the daughter of Talos.
Perhaps he is taking a chance, because Marvel has yet to announce that there will be a third movie of Black Panther…
-There is a clear mark in how their own characters are built, Nick is more serious or dramatic, Sonja seems to be approached from humor, isn’t it?
-Olivia Colman: Yeah, but I think I’ve also seen Mr. Fury have some really funny lines of dialogue in this series. Uhm, yeah, she finds it all a bit funny. I think she always has a kind of slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, even when he’s torturing people. But I think we both have some funny lines in this production. Just fun.
“I am an employee of Marvel… Nick Fury has here the opportunity to see what he does when he is not with the ‘supers’,” he told Clarín.
-Samuel L. Jackson: But the relationship works that way. I mean, we apparently know these two characters, and we’ve known each other for a fair amount of time. And they have collaborated on some things. Some have been successful, others, well, not so much.
-Olivia Colman: Yeah.
-Samuel L. Jackson: And they have a liking for each other that has nothing to do with which side either of them is on. I think both people would work with each other no matter the circumstances, you know, to try to make it work. And thank God they gave me Olivia. It was incredible to work with her, because of how she expresses herself, and because of her action.
–Olivia Colman: We had fun.
Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) and Cobie Smulders (Maria Hill), who was in the first “Avengers” (2012) and will be attentive to the invasion of the Skrulls.
-Another issue that is not usual is that the protagonists of an action series are not young, as in this series…
-Olivia Colman: Oh, it’s telling us that we’re not young.
-Samuel L. Jackson: What are you telling us? Old? What are you saying? Bad boys, bad boys are young, she’s young, I’m an older person at this. That’s why I show up limping. My beard is gray and everyone else is young. So I’m very young.
-Olivia Colman: I look very young, really.
-Samuel L. Jackson: For!
