The early reviews for Secret Invasion are not what Marvel would expect to continue its post-Endgame streak of movies and TV shows. Unfortunately, the last three years have been disappointing for fans and critics alike, with the three worst-rated MCU movies of all time debuting during this period as per Rotten Tomatoes. Despite the success of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the upcoming Disney Plus series Secret Invasion could not fully restore faith in the brand.
Early reactions from critics who have seen the first two episodes of Secret Invasion are mixed. While Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, and Olivia Colman lead an impressive cast, some reviewers feel that the series is more somber than expected and doesn’t live up to its John le Carré/Graham Greene trappings, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The pacing of the first episode doesn’t help the slow-burn espionage story Secret Invasion tries to tell, adds GameSpot. Other reviews believe that the show could fall into the trap of focusing too much on previewing what’s next, rather than telling a self-contained story, according to The Verge.
While several reviews are positive, they do not create a consensus. One reviewer in The Telegraph calls the show “dull,” “cheap,” and “hard to follow.” The audience will get a chance to judge the show when it debuts on Disney Plus on June 21, but it’s clear that Secret Invasion may not receive universal acclaim, like Avengers: Endgame or Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Interestingly, before the release of the Secret Invasion reviews, Disney announced a change to the MCU movie release schedule. Deadpool 3 will be the next MCU movie to hit theaters after The Marvels releases this November. Although production issues and the ongoing writers’ strike affect many projects, the Deadpool franchise’s popularity may have played a role in the reshuffling. Additionally, the first two Deadpool movies combined for $1.5 billion worldwide, with fans of all levels supporting the films.
It’s uncertain when Marvel Studios will hit another success streak like Phase 3, but they could be banking on Deadpool 3 to start that string of critical and commercial wins.
