'Secret Invasion's Kingsley Ben-Adir on why Gravik hates his right hand man, Pagon.
The Secret Invasion is about to begin on Disney+ and Kingsley Ben-Adir is ready to be the tip of the spear as the Skrull rebellion leader Gravik. A gritty political espionage thriller set in the MCU, the series will see Nick Fury return to combat the threat hiding among the people of Earth along with his allies. Gravik, too, will have allies to take the places of people Fury knows and trusts, though the new villain is hardly a fan of his ally Pagon .
For context, Gravik and the Skrulls begin terrorizing Earth in retaliation for Fury's own failures to find the Skrulls a new home. The premise sets up for a very human conflict as Fury and Talos oppose a force with a true grievance against them who has chosen extremism as a response. Not just anyone could lead an invasion or sway so many Skrulls to their side, however.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Burning hatred then became a focal point for Ben-Adir when portraying that relationship with Pagon. He explained the balancing act between his utter disgust toward his ally and his need for him in order for his grand ambitions to come to fruition, saying:
"Well, I think from an acting point of view, you have to look at who it is that you're talking to, and then what does that character represent to him? How does he feel about them? So anyone working for him is just an idiot. They could be saying anything to him. With Pagon, I think Gravik feels like he's the worst kind because he's ambitious and he wants to be doing what I'm doing, but he doesn't have the guts to take it.
So far, Secret Invasion has earned plaudits from critics including Collider's own Remus Noronha who gave the series a B+, praising it for its darker, paranoia-inducing story and excellent performances from its man cast. Also appearing in the series are Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, Martin Freeman as Everett Ross, Don Cheadle as James Rhodes, and Olivia Colman in her long sought-after first MCU appearance as MI6 agent Sonya Falsworth.
