Secret Invasion will be heavily connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the odds of Chloe Bennet's Quake having a cameo look more likely. Expectations for the spy thriller series for Disney+ have always been high since it is adapting one of Marvel's most famous comic crossovers. Secret Invasion is confirmed to be smaller in scale than the comics, as it will revolve around Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Talos (Ben Mendelsohn) as they attempt to uncover a potentially evil plot from the Skrulls to take over Earth. But, the source material's use of major characters has left the door open for some big MCU cameos.
The cast of Secret Invasion is going to include a lot of familiar faces even if the amount of cameos is rather low. Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders), Everett Ross (Martin Freeman), and War Machine (Don Cheadle) are all confirmed to return alongside Fury and Talos. There have also been theories that everyone from Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) to Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) to Wong (Benedict Wong) could appear. One of the most popular suggestions has been that Agents of SHIELD star Chloe Bennet could return as Daisy Johnson a.k.a. Quake in the Disney+ series, confirming her place in the MCU canon.
Chloe Bennet's Quake Return Tease Could Be For Secret Invasion
Chloe Bennet's Quake return in Secret Invasion looks even more likely thanks to the actress' recent teases. Bennet has tweeted that those who do not think she will return as Quake in the MCU or can act alongside Samuel L. Jackson will be proven wrong in the near future. Chloe Bennet's tease that Quake's MCU return could be right around the corner, which is why Secret Invasion makes so much sense. It is scheduled to be the first MCU Disney+ show in 2023. While Chloe Bennet is not able to outright confirm that Daisy Johnson is in Secret Invasion, the timing of the tease is quite noticeable.
The possibility of Chloe Bennet's Quake appearing in Secret Invasion is something that has been theorized about ever since the show was announced. Ironically, the Agents of SHIELD star made a very random video denying any involvement in the series in August 2021, which was before Secret Invasion started filming. This was one of the last times she publicly commented on returning as Quake in the MCU after nearly a year. However, an Instagram post featuring daisy flowers reignited hopes that a Daisy Johnson return was in the cards. Bennet's tweet makes Secret Invasion a potential destination for her.
Why Quake Is A Perfect Fit For Secret Invasion
Chloe Bennet returning as Daisy Johnson in Secret Invasion would be the perfect destination for her. The show is designed in a similar vein as Agents of SHIELD in of being a spy-focused show in the MCU. Quake obviously works within the parameters of that type of show, but now she could return as an agent working for Nick Fury and explore a new section of her life. It has the potential to connect to Agents of SHIELD season 7 ending Quake's story with her in space, which would mean officially canonizing the ABC series.
Secret Invasion would not be the first time that Daisy Johnson and Nick Fury interact, so this cameo for Chloe Bennet could be a reunion. It would also be an opportunity for the MCU to position Quake as one of the most powerful allies that Nick Fury has. Marvel could even make Daisy the leader of his Secret Warriors team, allowing Chloe Bennet's MCU return in Secret Invasion to fulfill a similar role as Quake has had in the comics.
