"Daredevil: Born Again" confirms "Secret Invasion" remains canon

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been receiving mixed reviews since the end of the Infinity Saga with Avengers: Endgame. Some projects, like WandaVision and Spider-Man: No Way Home, have been praised, while others have faced criticism. Among them, the Disney+ series Secret Invasion, which stars Samuel L. Jackson, has been called the worst MCU show ever. Viewers complained about its weak plot, poor special effects, and lack of engaging content. Despite calls from fans to disregard Secret Invasion, the new show Daredevil: Born Again confirms that it is still part of the MCU. In the fourth episode of Daredevil, the main character Matt Murdock meets a petty thief who jokingly asks if he could have been a Skrull, an alien character introduced in Secret Invasion. Murdock’s response indicates that this knowledge is now common among the public. Before Secret Invasion, only a few elite characters knew about Skrulls. The plot twist in that series changed the MCU’s landscape, making everyone aware that alien impostors could be among them. However, many subsequent MCU projects didn’t address this change until Daredevil’s recent mention. The mention of Skrulls in Daredevil: Born Again is significant. The recent movie The Marvels neglected the events of Secret Invasion, suggesting a disconnect in the MCU’s storyline. Daredevil highlights the impact of the Skrull revelation on everyday life, showing that even small-time criminals are aware of it now. This reference raises questions about how other MCU shows and movies will handle the implications of Secret Invasion moving forward. New episodes of Daredevil: Born Again are available on Disney+ every Tuesday.
