In Secret Invasion, the authentic Nick Fury is once again in action, and the master snoop is getting back to his roots. Fury is summoned from his job on the S.A.B.E.R. space station by Talos to join the battle against a renegade Skrull group in the new MCU storyline about a Skrull invasion of Earth. But this isn’t the Nick Fury that fans are used to. Fury is no longer the always ready S.H.I.E.L.D. director with all the answers he once was due to ageing, having less resources available to him, and other factors. This is how Secret Invasion resembles Skyfall, another James Bond movie. James Bond is in a situation like to Fury in Skyfall, Daniel Craig’s third James Bond film. After a time of absence during which he was assumed to be dead and in an unfit position to complete the objective at hand, he is summoned back into action. In comparison to their predecessors, Secret Invasion and Skyfall have a colder, more melancholy tone. Skyfall significantly altered the Bond film series. Following in its footsteps, Secret Invasion may be a positive development for the MCU.
Bond gets shot in the shoulder at the beginning of Skyfall following a botched mission. Bond was not the target of the shot, which was fired by his field partner Eve Moneypenny, but it sent Bond plummeting to his apparent death off the top of a train. In reality, he pulled through and used the chance to slip away into a peaceful retirement, full of heavy drinking, but his wound never quite healed. Similar to how Fury is compelled to return to Earth in Secret Invasion by his commitments to Talos, Bond is propelled back into action by news of an attack on MI6 to aid the organisation that obviously requires his assistance.
Prior to Secret Invasion, Fury’s apparent demise in The Winter Soldier had previously been disproved; nonetheless, nobody on Earth had recently seen the actual Nick Fury. During the events of Spider-Man: Far From Home, Talos acted in Fury’s place, although the real Fury has been preoccupied with S.A.B.E.R. But it wasn’t only business that kept him away, as the first episode of Secret Invasion shows in a heated meeting between Fury and Maria Hill. Fury has never entirely healed after Thanos snatched him out of existence. In a nod to Skyfall’s Bond, who failed his medical and psychological tests before returning to the field, Hill and MI6 agent Sony Falsworth both make it obvious to Fury that he is not prepared to confront this new battle.
In the same way as Skyfall only provided Bond with a palm-print-coded rifle and a radio transmitter, Secret Invasion has Fury joining the Skrulls’ rebellion without the aid of a helicarrier fleet, super-weapons, or the Avengers. Fury does arrive on Earth with a small, high-tech surveillance camera, which he hides in Sonya Falsworth’s office, but due to the absence of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the possibility that anybody he contacts may be a renegade Skrull in disguise, he has to rely on a more traditional strategy. The absence of the normal gizmos and technologies that both characters may rely on serves to emphasise the physical and psychological traumas both endure. In sharp contrast to the high-octane adventures of the majority of MCU and Bond flicks, Secret Invasion and Skyfall provide character studies of wounded, ageing heroes. These stories provide an opportunity to look at the character beyond the secret agent and the humanity behind the heroism by taking the time to explore who James Bond and Nick Fury are when they’re not at their best. These tales serve as both a reminder that these characters are mortal and an opportunity to pause and consider how much they are willing to risk for the sake of a greater good, even when they are ill-prepared for the task at hand, after witnessing them plunge into countless adventures with reckless abandon.
