Secret Invasion: Who Exactly Is Priscilla?

The Secret Invasion series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has captivated viewers with its unexpected plot developments. In just three episodes, the show has unveiled intriguing twists, including the revelation of Priscilla (played by Charlayne Woodard) towards the end of the second episode titled “Promises.” This particular scene left fans shocked for multiple reasons. In the recently released episode “Betrayed” on July 5, audiences were provided with further insights into this enigmatic character, shedding light on her future significance within the series.

Secret Invasion Who Is Priscilla?

Priscilla’s background is relatively sparse, as this character did not have a significant presence in the Marvel comics. In fact, there is no Priscilla character in the comics; instead, fans may recognize her as Varra, her original Skrull identity. However, even as Varra, she had only a minor role, allowing for a relatively fresh introduction in the MCU.

Secret Invasion Episode 2

Priscilla made her debut in the second episode of Secret Invasion, and it was a surprising revelation. In a kitchen scene, we witness Priscilla interacting with Fury (portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson), culminating in a kiss that unveils her as another Fury. This revelation adds an extra layer of mystery to Nick Fury’s character. The third episode delves deeper into their relationship and sheds light on Priscilla’s background. In the latest episode, we see the couple enjoying each other’s company and engaging in flirtatious banter at a diner, dating back to 1998. During this time, Fury still refers to her as Varra, her Skrull name. In the present day, Priscilla harbors doubts about Fury’s return, and it’s understandable given their history. They were already together when the Blip occurred, leaving her alone for five years as essentially a widow. Although things improved when the Avengers saved the world, Fury departed once again—this time by choice. He spent more years in space, marking the second time Priscilla had to navigate life on her own. These experiences suggest that Fury’s recent return has left Priscilla feeling confused, hurt, and uncertain about the longevity of his presence this time. She guards her emotions, wary of opening up to Fury once more. From this, we can infer that Priscilla will play a more significant role in the series, and her air of mystery will undoubtedly make us question the person she has become during Fury’s absence over the past few years.

Towards the conclusion of “Betrayed,” the events surrounding Priscilla take an intriguing turn. We observe Priscilla as she visits a safety deposit box, retrieving a firearm. Shortly after, she makes a phone call to an unidentified individual—some speculate it could be. Rhodey (played by Don Cheadle) or potentially Pagon (portrayed by Killian Scott), who has yet to make an appearance in the show. Priscilla requests permission to speak with Gravik (played by Kingsley Ben-Adir), the leader of the Skrull rebellion, but her request is denied.

How Priscilla’s Introduction Will Change Secret Invasion

Unlike the more familiar characters in Secret Invasion. Such as G’iah (played by Emilia Clarke) and Pagon, Priscilla remains an enigma. As a Skrull and the wife of Fury, she lacks substantial background information for viewers to speculate on her true identity. And her role in the future of the show and the wider MCU. Nevertheless, based on the initial episodes, it is clear that Priscilla is a character worth keeping an eye on. Her intentions and potential actions remain unknown, leaving us to wonder if they will cause a greater divide between her and Fury or if she has aligned herself with the rebellion. Many questions persist regarding her and how she has evolved over the years. All we can gather is that if she happens to be on Gravik’s side, Fury will face a significant dilemma. However, there is also a possibility that she may be coerced into revealing information about Fury’s plans. Only the upcoming episodes will provide the answers we seek.
