if justin hammer is a skrull, we could then have two sam rockwells - the true rockwell being only determined by an epic dance off

I’m very interested how Secret Invasion is going to convert the skrulls to villains since Captain Marvel and Spider-Man: Far From Home portrays them as so trustworthy they replace and report back to Fury

I honestly hope Sharon Carter is a skrull. The difference in her personality between Civil War and The Falcon And The Winter Soldier seemed jarring, so I would like to believe that they’re two different people.

Nice video about Squirrels. I hope we do find out that at least 50% of the MCU is composed of secret Squirrels. Maybe Squirrel Girl as the next big bad? Can't wait.

Spoilers for Eternals We did see what happened to Kingo… he gets taken by Arishem along with Sersi and Phastos. I don’t think Arishem would mistake a skrull for the real Kingo. This one would make sense if “Kingo” now shows up on Earth with no explanation

I personally think Maria Hill is a Skrull, not in the way that she is being impersonated by Soren as seen in Spider-Man: Far From Home but the very identity of Maria Hill being fabricated by Nick Fury for Soren so she can act in human society and become a member of Shield.

Happy Hogan went from Tony’s guy to Peter’s guy, and he’s dating Aunt May, who Skrull Jarvis did in the comics. He has access to Stark tech and the Stark Vault, he’s got access to the CEO of Stark Industries (Pepper) and Spider-Man’s only family, he’s got access to Rhodey more than likely. Plus, metatextually, he is THE founder of the MCU itself, so it’d be a big moment. Happy is a skrull.

If Marvel introduces the Chameleon, he should be a Skrull who tried to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D, and disguised himself as a S.H.I.E.L.D agent named “Dimitri”.

Nando dressed as a Shield Agent is one of the greatest things my eyes have had the pleasure of seeing

Ima say no to Kingo, because you’d think Erishem would know the difference between an eternal and a skrull, but I would add Hank Pym

Okay but seriously the Kingo theory is really vibing with me here. It felt super jarring and odd that he just bailed and then shows up again at the end. Him being a skrull kind of fixes all of that for me

I just like to imagine Nando is saying Squirrel instead of skrull every time

''also in the comics Val is a skrull'' *I mean thats a very valid piece of evidence-*

In the comics some of the skrulls had no idea they were skrulls and beloved completely they were who they were pretending to be until activated like sleeper agents

Hmm, I think there’s some potential between the Skrulls and the Eternals. In the comics, the Skrulls ARE descendants of the Deviants of their homeworld, after all. So there’s your imperative for the Eternals to get involved, above and beyond their new found willingness to help outside of that stricture.

Wong is totally a skrull, he's a fan favourite that will genuinely shock audiences, he has connections to everyone, he's not a main character so people won't complain about wasted time or character development, he's definitely done some shady stuff (leaving before the plot starts in Infinity War and No Way Home, training Abomination) and a skrull could probably mimic his powers using a magical artifact or a potion.

8:50 "I don't think Alexi is the skrull." You don't think the guy who is certain that he fought Captain America while Cap was frozen could be going off a script instead of his memories?

I feel like the MCU is taking the Kitchen Sink approach to the Phase 4, which is a mistake IMHO. As opposed to narrowing in on a single story post-Snap, it seems like they're throwing things every which way to outdo themselves: Secret Invasion, Kang and The Multiverse, The Celestials / Starfox, the Thunderbolts, etc. The cleverness of the Infinity Gauntlet is it allowed a lot of creative freedom for each individual "MacGuffin" while building up to the larger Infinity Gauntlet "MacGuffin". Anything resembling that would seem derivative, but why not *focus* on one key idea? Like Secret Invasion? Or a Thunderbolts-esque / Dark Avengers arc, where they build a roster of villains indiviual film by film to fight the Avengers when they get together?

The thing I’m curious about the Secret Invasion series is how they’re going to pull off the tension of wondering which of our favorite characters are skulls. It seems like to properly do that, the series needs to be a pretty big crossover that includes a lot of different characters so you never know who it will be. It’s such an easy way to make the show much more interesting and my fear is that it’s just going to be a small scale series where Nick Fury discovers that just 2 or 3 crossover characters were skulls for a little while. I just really hope Marvel goes all out with the concept

Sharon Carter was my first thought. They kinda character-assassinated her in Bucky Sam Power Hour... And like, she's not a character who I really care much about if she's OOC, but it was very odd and I wish they hadn't done it. Making her a Skrull would smoothly retcon that with a fresh start.

So am i the only one thinking Fury himself could be a skrull? He's leading a new agency that heavily features skrulls. He had an onscreen death and showed up alive later. He is probably the best connected person on the planet. He's the perfect target and he seemingly trusted the skrulls, making him an easy hit for them

I love how Nando breaks the immersion every other second, perfect touch to this amazing video.

I think Jonah very well could be a Skrull considering JK Simmons does not want to play the same character as before

Wake up babe, new Nando V Movies just dropped

Have they definately comfirmed secret invasion is a Skrull invasion? Given how they've positioned the Skrulls and where the MCU is going it makes more sense that it's a multuverse invasion with key figures from a dark timeline replacing those in the main universe

it would be cool if the Skrulls were holding all the Inhumans prisoner cause they see them as Kree weapons or maybe they were trying to replicate their powers so when secret invasion ends it just can lead to this new powerful faction.

I hope Fury has been Telos since his appearance in Age of Ultron. Faking his death in Winter Soldier and completing his arc is even cooler if he literally goes off world after that.

Wow. So this is what it feels like to be Director Fury.

Shang-Chi's sister? She's certainly had the time to be switched, didn't seem that attached to her brother so might not be her, all the reasons Jon-Jon might be a Skrull AND this would give more reason for taking over her father's empire. Plus if she is this gives Shang a chance to come back to save her, making up for abandoning her for a decade.

Shuri's a Skrull: 1) Strategically sensible for the Skrull to put an operative in a position of significance over the planet's most powerful nation and most advanced technology. 2) An opportune moment for her to be supplanted by a Skrull was, sort of, foreshadowed in the films. She's a weird outlier at the end of Infinity War, as (I think?) the ONLY character involved in the movie to not be explicitly dusted or spared on screen. 3) Having essentially the planet's best scientist secretly be a Skrull creates a built-in plot excuse for why there's no 'technological scanning' solution to detecting Skrulls; as well as creating a plot point for why any counter measures they do have against Skrulls fail in the latter half of the film. 4) She'd be a great character to carry the funny, joking side of the Skrulls over to the villainous element of their race as well, and give this force some personality. Be kind of lame if Talos had a monopoly on all the fun Skrulls, and the bland stoic side characters of the MCU became bland stoic villains. 5) Picture the moment: when Justin Hammer, who started working with the Wakandans during the Blip, putting his mind and talent to work in a honest effort to help hold the seams of world together and atone for his past selfishness, and totally not steal any advanced Wakandan tech while he was at it, sees his boss turn green and finds out he's inadvertently been working for the alien invaders all along...and just rolls with it.

Karun could also be a Skrull for a lot of the reasons you said for Kingo, with the added bonus of avoiding complications regarding whether Skrulls could copy Eternal powers.

Some big actors do Marvel movies for a one-time paycheck, but I really hope Rachel Weisz comes back, she's one of the best actors working today.

What if the actual Nick Fury is the one behind secret invasion? He's already got an alliance with some skrulls, what if in his attempts to protect the world he is training skrulls in espionage and using them as a sort of advanced life model decoy. Which could also tie in to black widow because they could using the mind control on the skrull to keep them obedient, but to also make them fully believe they are person they are pretending to be. The skrull could feel betrayed by this and rebel and that could be the start of secret invasion as they choose to turn against sword and shield and invade for real.

I wish that Rodney was a skrull but I don’t want it to happen anymore because he’s goodbye to Snark wouldn’t feel earned anymore

I think Rhodes can be replaced by a skrull from after end game, he is probably a prime target given his position in the military and being an Avenger. Furthermore, he does not have any powers, making him easy to replace. But I think the most interesting part of secret invasion is that they had big-name superpowered heroes to be replaced as skrulls as well, so I will still say any heroes are fair game leading up to the secret invasion.

Has anyone seen Mattpat and Nando in the same room? Pointing fingers is a skrull tactic. Enjoyed video. Thank you

Love seeing a new Nando video

I feel like that slow motion shot of Sharon at the end was her turning into a Skrull, but they changed it at the last minute. That slow mo shot was so .... random and didn't fit the show at all.

In one of your previous videos I liked Hulk to be a skrull. It makes a lot of sense. The transition to the smaller "smart" Hulk happens off screen and once we get smart Hulk we never really see Hulk fight again. We just see him going through motions maybe because the skrulls know they can't replicate his strength. I'm backing off this idea because she-hulk is happening. But I think it would make a lot of sense.

How about Maria Hill? I do also think one of the big characters is going to be a Skrull. Else it will only be sidecharacters

Can Skrulls access the memories of the people they transform themselves into? I don't think so. But if not, then a couple of these choices might not make sense, because without the memory of their lives their cover is easily blown. Especially someone like Kingo, who has thousands of years of memories, and if he were to make a choice that didn't fit his character the others would probably be able to tell something was off. Melina also needed to have memory of her life with Alexei, Natasha and Yelena, because they would definitely know something was up if she wasn't acting exactly like herself, but then again, a Skrull posing as Melina would have access to all their files and backgrounds, so they would've easily been able to learn about them. All the others I guess are up for grabs. The one I find really doubtful is Kingo, but who knows.

Kingo would make SO MUCH SENSE like,,the fact that he just left at the end and didnt get caught for the joint mind makes No sense otherwise

It could be interesting if Zemo was a Scrull. Zemo is seemingly in the wind now, and if he comes back and is acting differently, it might not be immediately recognizable.

I’m not really a fan of the idea that *any* character of significance is a Skrull. Yeah I know that defeats the purpose of the premise of secret invasion, but if Milena or Sharon or Kingo etc have secretly just been aliens with completely separate motives to what we see them express in Black Widow, Falcon and Winter Soldier, and Eternals, then there goes any of the interesting thematic or character work being done with them in those stories. Secret Invasion having a couple twists like that isn’t worth harming those projects like that, for me.

I really disagree with Kingo. The rest are fine though, especially Sharon. Her research into the Supersoldier Serum could even tie into the Super Skrulls!

I was looking for videos about skroll theories for ages yesterday. thank you Mr Nando

Black Widows "friend." Ah yes... she definitely wasn't Nat's mother

There's a theory I really like that Nebula is a skrull, but not in the sense that a skrull is impersonating Nebula. She's just been so disfigured by Thanos, that that's her default form and can't transform anymore. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7aZlruCyMiqeWg.html

Kingo can't be a Skrull Because Skrulls can't copy abilities (as of yet in the mcu) and even if they can Kingo uses Cosmic Energy when he shoots beams... Alot of people cannot copy the power of cosmic. If he was a Skrull then wow

I don’t care who’s a Skrull, I just wanna be surprised when I find out

Perfect Skrull is Maria Hill - but only if Nick Fury knows she’s a Skrull. She grew up on the Skrull space station and joined SHEILD as an adult. Explains why she’s Nick Fury’s right hand woman who he absolutely knows he can trust and a super spy who can shape shift is perfect. Explains how she was able to sneak around in Winter Soldier. Explains why she joined the Avengers after SHEILD collapsed. Explains where she’s been since the Blip - working to rebuild with the other Skrulls or infiltrating the infiltrators to spy on them for Fury.

Spoiler warning for the Eternals when discussing Kingo would have been nice

Are the Skrull evil then? I thought Nick Fury was working with them.

I don't know who would be in charge of putting a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Nando Disney+ series together but imma need that asap.

I think any new major characters like Kingo are kinda automatically off the table for being Skrulls personally

You know who's really a Skrull? My Mom! no, wait, that's not how that goes...

Kingo can't have been a skrull, the celestial grabbed him and the other remaining eternals on earth at the end of the movie from wherever they were on earth, so it's not just that he grabs whoever he saw at the moment

Man I love your videos, great quality found another great channel

You may have called it with Love and Thunder. Sif may be a skrull. Buzz is there's a hidden plot. That'd be crazy if you do it twice!

This trawling through MCU side characters for skulls reminds me of the joke about the drunk searching for his keys under the street light: the punchline being that he didn’t dropped his keys there, but that area is well lit.

That mini-pitch for the end of Thor Love and Thunder gave me chills!

I hope when spiderman sees nick fury again he says something like "I know nothing about you...... explain why"

A Skrull civil war would be awesome. I'd help secret invasion and future v introduce Super Skulls too

Doesn't really matter now, but they should have shown the Skrulls to be kinda evil & ruthless during the fighting in Captain Marvel. They went from not being able to be taken seriously to good guys & refugees. We needed the setup for a realistic double-cross or alternate faction of them. Nothing about them screams "invasion" at this point.

Kingo was *SPOILERS FOR ETERNALS* Kingo was taken by Arishem at the end of the Eternals. I feel like Arishem would immediately detect that he wasn't one of his creations. And, since the Eternals are creations, it's possible that the Skrulls can't turn into them. They probably can, but hey.

I recently discovered Nando’s videos and just watched the oldest one that shows up on KZfaq: One Thing he Would Change about Sharon Carter in Civil War. Nando suggests that the filmmakers may have removed a subplot where Zemo mind-controlled Sharon into pushing the Avengers into direct conflict. But what if she was actually Zemo’s partner because she was a skrull back then? That would be an amazing twist that would semi-validate Nando’s theory and make Civil War even better in retrospect. Definitely my new head canon.

Love your Skrull videos

Idk how many times Nando will remake the same video but I'm always here for it.

Random thought: but it would be cool if Mystique was introduced during or post Secret Invasion as a cool fakeout- we think this person is a Skrull, but then…!!!

Nice Film Theory reference! But, now that you mention it... I think Matt Pat is a Skrull..........

loved the whole vibe!!! would have been a great video either way but the shield/sword agent thing is the cherry on top

I actively want Sharon carter to be a Skrull because it would excuse how bad her characterisation was in the TV series

Valentina and Sharon are likely candidates. Kingo is going to be tough though, he's not really available until Eternals 2 and Arishem would be probably able to recognize instantly if Kingo is an Eternals

i don't think arishem would've taken kingo if he wasn't a real eternal

Here’s my prediction. None of these matter to the Skrull scenarios. There may be a situation like Elektra reverting back to Skrull form, but there’s not much of a connecting thread between Thor + Guardians to Fury. Sharon Carter has been pulling the strings all along. Look back to Civil War. She speaks at her aunt’s funeral about being obstinate, right to Cap’s face, inciting his turn away from the government. She could be a Skrull for that reason alone, but I don’t see a motive. What I do see is a window to the Thunderbolts. Who tf is Martin Freeman’s character? Why is his last name Ross when nobody really cares about the guy? He’s in the government, same as his relative, the Chaddest of Thads. Does Thad even know him? If he does, imagine how skeptical he would be to find out a member of his own family has been a Skrull for so long. TLDR Sharon is a manipulative mastermind. Bilbo Ross is a Skrull. Thunderbolt is sussing out everyone.

Oops Nando, you accidentally set this to public, change it to private QUICK before Fury finds out. Don't worry, we wont tell him we saw it.

Hopefully Justin Hammer isn’t a skrull.

Well... in captain marvel she said that Skrulls can't do the energy blast thing like she can

Your shield agent cosplay is on point!

Next video: *100 characters* in the MCU, 1 of which I think will eventually be a Skrull!

You could still have Rhodes be a skrull; his original plan was the secret invasion, but he grew to genuinely care for Tony/ humanity (especially after he helped him learn to walk again) and he could be a catalyst that reveals the invasion plan to the heroes and gets the ball rolling on stopping them or something.

Great Video!

The glasses are honestly a vibe

I think Bruce Banner is a Skrull. That could be the reason for his regular apperance and his healed arm.

You nailed the Doc Ock cosplay!

That intro was so funny omfg

I feel that Maria hill could also be a skrull

If Alexei is a Skrull, he might have actually fought Captain America before like he claims

The most likely person to be replaced by a Skrull is a secondary character who does not possess any super powers or enhancements but whose proximity to the action allows them to influence events without necessarily drawing attention to themselves. Ahem: Happy Hogan.

Here’s how you’d make a Secret Invasion movie. You make a seemingly unrelated movie everyone is interested in. Opening title card comes on screen, Thor 4 or Ant Man 3, or whatever, but then the title card changes. The facade falls, revealing the real title: Secret Invasion.

Love the intro

I want Phineas Mason to be a Skrull. He’s The Tinkerer the brains behind The Vulture and all his who up to this point, as far as I know, has yet to be arrested. It would make sense if he were a Skrull scientist laying low convincing Tombs to get more powerful tech. All of Homecoming he’s telling Tombs that he’s getting ready for the Stark job, Tombs says no, and their business takes a hit.

This video makes me think that Nando's portraying the Marvel equivalent of The Question

Yea, don't think Gen. Ross is going to be a skrull.

Well, when they announced Secret Invasion, my immediate thought was "Oh, that explains why Bruce isn't Professor Hulk in Shang-Chi" but, after watching this video...does it? I don't think it does. The world knows who Professor Hulk is, so masquerading as Bruce Banner isn't a great disguise unless you're trying to infiltrate, universities filled with boomers who don't follow the news and don't know that Bruce is now Professor Hulk...? I have no idea, maybe there's something in a comic somewhere that explains how both Bruce Banner and Professor Hulk exist separately, but I didn't get to read comics as a kid.

Well, Sif didn’t age well… She probably would have turned back after getting her arm cut off, or at least not wanted to die because it would reveal her, yet instead, she was talking about Valhalla…

Melina (and her pigs) makes sense. Where better to hide awaiting skrull or ppl the skrull have replaced? Keep them all close for research or emergencies.

Can you warn about spoilers any for Eternals, internationally, the movie wont be released for a pretty long while :")

Could you (or somebody from the comments) tell me why William Hurt won't be seen that much anymore in the MCU? You alluded to something like that in this and one of your previous videos... is there something I missed? Awesome video by the way! As ever!

Who I think are Skrulls: Contessa, Christine Everhart, Wong, Sharon Carter, Selvig, Darcy, a freed Widow (the one to kick off the story ala Elektra), Bill Foster, and whoever is the new president after Ellis.
