The Falcon & The Winter Soldier: 8 Characters Who Could Still Appear
6. A Skrull
Skrulls are something of a question mark in the MCU right now. Back in the '90s, a handful of the alien race first came to Earth, and Talos and Soren were still on the planet during Peter Parker's fight with Mysterio in 2023. However, there is no real indication as of yet just how much is known about them across the MCU.
Jimmy Woo was aware of them in WandaVision, but he may have only had that knowledge due to being in the FBI, and judging from him thinking that they may have been responsible for the Hex, could they still be perceived as evil? Nothing is certain right now, but with Secret Invasion coming up, it seems that the Skrulls could be a big part of the franchise moving forward.
While there is no specific reason a Skrull would show up in this series with regards to the story, it would be more about the wider MCU as a whole. There was a Skrull that showed up at the end of WandaVision, and eagle eyed viewers have already noticed the Skrull in the background of the Loki trailer, so one showing up here would complete the hat-trick of the first three Disney+ properties.
If Marvel Studios are serious about this build up to Secret Invasion, and are essentially spreading the Skrulls across the entire franchise, why not add another one into The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
