As movie and TV audiences grow increasingly skeptical of big budget projects featuring folks in capes and cowls moving faster than a speeding bullet, what's an enterprising superhero-based media platform to do?

If you're Disney+ and Marvel, maybe you build an exciting thriller around the baddest dude to NOT wear a cape in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Samuel L. Jackson's super spy Nick Fury. Fury finally gets a showcase all his own in the six-episode limited series Secret Invasion.

It's Marvel's first live action series in 2023 and the first series in its phase five, featuring a severely diminished Fury facing yet another world-threatening calamity. Marvel fans know Fury's had a tough time over the years; the powerful, clandestine spy agency he once led, S.H.I.E.L.D., was revealed to be secretly riddled with Neo-Nazi bad guys in the film Captain America: Winter Soldier.

Then he got blipped out of existence for five years by another bad guy, Thanos, at the end of Avengers: Infinity War.
