Press Release
Oscar winner Olivia Colman is heading into the Marvel Universe.
Colman, who is nominated for best supporting actress this year for The Father, is in negotiations to join Secret Invasion, Marvel Studios' next series.
The show uses the events of Marvel’s Captain Marvel movie as a jumping-off point and focuses on the ever-popular secret agent Nick Fury, played by a returning Samuel L. Jackson, and a shapeshifter from the alien race known as the Skrulls (Ben Mendelsohn, reprising his role from the feature).
Plot details are being kept under wraps, but an infiltration of Skrulls on Earth figures into the proceedings. It is unclear who Colman would play.
Marvel had no comment, but the cast also includes One Night in Miami breakout Kingsley Ben-Adir as the likely villain.
