Ben-Adir plays Skrull leader Gravik in Secret Invasion
During Marvel Studios’ presentation at D23 Fan Expo 2022, we see Gravik in the show’s first trailer. The rebel leader is seen yelling at an unknown adversary after a scene of Emilia Clarke’s character holding a gun in a hallway. Gravik will lead the force of alien shapeshifters in order to conquer Earth. Of course, both Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury and Ben Mendehlson’s Talos will first have to find out where Gravik is hiding and who he changed his shape into.
However, Gravik is an entirely new character and hasn’t been seen much of in the comics. There was a character in the comics named Granok who was also quite a radical character quite similar to Gravik. For now, all we know about Gravik is that he has a long history and an ongoing relationship with Talos, though the nature of the relationship is largely unknown.

In the comics, Fiz even helped the X-Men fight Apocalypse. He also played a role during the Secret Invasion in the comics. However, her role in the movie will be much bigger.
