Meet Talos
Ben Mendelsohn portrays Talos, the Skrull introduced in Captain Marvel. D23’s Secret Invasion character guide returns to him as a leader still seeking a secure home for his people, with strained ties to Nick Fury and his daughter G’iah. His shapeshifting belongs to a story with very recognizable concerns: loyalty, family, and promises left unresolved.
Official source · D23 ↗Look for the history underneath the disguise
Rather than treating every change of appearance as the whole point, follow what Talos asks of the people he knows. His exchanges with Fury and G’iah make trust something built over time, with shared experience offering no guarantee that everyone now wants the same outcome.

Where to start
Begin with Captain Marvel before Secret Invasion. The film introduces Talos and his connection to Fury; the series revisits those relationships years later in a more grounded espionage setting.
