Disney+Secret Invasion is the latest Marvel show to hit Disney Plus – but when does it take place in the MCU timeline? Here’s everything you need to know.
When is the last time we saw Nick Fury? He was dusted by Thanos in Infinity War, he returned in Endgame, and in Spider-Man: Far From Home, he was seen relaxing on a huge space station while Talos and his wife impersonated him and Maria Hill.
Now he’s front and center of his own project, forced to return to Earth to investigate and stop a rebel Skrull cell who wants to infiltrate the planet and turn it into their new world.
Given we’re 32 movies and eight TV shows deep, it can be a bit tricky keeping track of the timeline and where everything is meant to take place – don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
Secret Invasion in the MCU timeline explained
Secret Invasion takes place in the present-day MCU, so mid-2025.
Remember, there was a five-year time jump in Avengers: Endgame, so everything is a little further ahead than the real world. The events of She-Hulk were confirmed to begin in 2024 and end in 2025, and that was the last show before Secret Invasion.
Jonathan Schwartz, VP of Production & Development at Marvel Studios, confirmed: “It’s present-day MCU, is what we’re calling it. So it exists along the timeline that the shows come out in.
“So, post-She-Hulk, post-Blip, right at this exact present day in the MCU. I think that’s all I can say.”

The official synopsis reads: “In Secret Invasion, set in the present-day MCU, Fury learns of a clandestine invasion of Earth by a faction of shapeshifting Skrulls.
