Secret Invasion is inspired by The Winter Soldier – but "takes it a step further"
Exclusive: The Marvel series director and producer Total Film about its 💟simi🦂larities (and differences) to Captain America 2

As soon as fans got their first glimpse at Secret Invasion, the comparisons to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Captain America: The Winter Soldier started flying๊ around. Straight out the gate, the Ma✱rvel series went heavy on the conspiracy vibes – and Nick Fury being in it clearly helped strengthen the similarities.
Now, speaking to for its new issue –🥃 which is out on newsstands on May 25, director Ali Selim and producer 🌊Jonathan Schwartz opened up about how they were bolstered by the positive reception to Captain America 2, and ran with it. They also revealed that it'll delve deep into Fury; something that past titles haven't really had the chance to do yet, despite the character being introduced onscreen way back in 2008.
"The first conversations I had [with Marvel] were, '🌄Nobody flies in the air in the show,'" Selim recalled. "I realized, 'Yeah, tꦆhey're doing something very different, and that's exciting.'"
"The Winter Soldier certainly gave us a lot of confidence that we could tell a
story in that space that felt more like a paranoid thriller," Schwartz pointed out, as he perched in front of an illustrated Winter Soldier poster in his 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios office. "Secret Invasion takes that a step further, and you really get to dig into
Nick.💎 It becomes much moꩲre character-focused in a way that I really love."
That's not all eit🦄her, we also get an exclusive new look at the upcoming series in the new issue of Total Film. Nick Fury can be seen hiding behind a doorway as something flies overhead in the snap at the top of this page.
