Marvel’s Secret Invasion director Ali Selim outlines the significance of the sequence that makes or breaks the conclusion. Selim, who served as executive producer and directed each of the six episodes, said in an interview with Variety that the show gave him pause to consider the concept of “other.” He examined the difficulties of uncommon love and acceptance as well as how we deal with the concept of “other” in our lives and societies. “Nick Fury kissing Varra at the end is ultimately the scene that I pushed for and really enjoyed,” Selim remarked. That frees him from the bias or restriction that has become his perception of being “other.” It’s opening the door to dialogue, if not outright accepting and loving. It feels like that’s what it’s about because it’s the series’ very last scene. This story’s core, in Selim’s opinion, is captured in this last scene. Samuel L. Jackson, who played the Skrull Gravik in the series, and Kingsley Ben-Adir were his talking points.

The 37-minute finale of the six-episode Disney + series, which starred Jackson as the legendary Nick Fury, left many fans with unanswered issues. Fury’s past with his wife Priscilla (Charlayne Woodard), who is actually Varra, a Skrull agent working with Fury and Gravik, was first revealed in Secret Invasion. When Fury vanished in the Blip in Avengers: Infinity War, Varra began to think about Gravik’s terrorist theories, which put a strain on their relationship. She does, however, ultimately revert to becoming a hero as a result of her alliance with Emilia Clarke’s G’iah.

Some people were puzzled by the finale’s lack of a post-credits sequence, but the series has significant ramifications for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, notably the Skrulls. The Skrulls return to isolation in the finale, Nick Fury and Varra travel into space, and Olivia Colman’s Sonya Falsworth establishes a partnership with G’iah. Since many of the Skrulls supported Gravik’s terrorist operation on Earth, the situation with them first appeared bleak. But by the time of the Secret Invasion climax, Fury is undeniably whole and prepared to go. Additionally, Selim clarified a fan-discussed issue by answering the enigma surrounding Rhodey (Don Cheadle), dubbed War Machine,’s position as a Skrull. He stated that War Machine had been a doppelganger for seven years, and that the switch happened soon after Captain America: Civil War’s events.
