Marvel’s upcoming Disney+ series Secret Invasion has added yet another member to its cast as Deadline is reporting that Christopher McDonald has joined the show in an undisclosed role.
McDonald has most recently been seen as a supporting character in the HBO Max comedy series Hacks, however, he is perhaps most known for his role in Happy Gilmore. His other credits include Thelma & Louise, The Iron Giant, Quiz Show, and Boardwalk Empire.
McDonald will be directed by Thomas Bezucha (Let Him Go) and Ali Selim (The Looming Tower) and will star alongside Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Olivia Colman and Emilia Clarke.
While specific details on Secret Invasion are being kept under wraps, Marvel has previously confirmed that the series won’t be an all-encompassing MCU event like Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. As such, it will most likely take inspiration from the Secret Invasion comic book storyline, where the shape-shifting Skrulls had been quietly infiltrating Earth and integrating into all aspects of society.
