Oliva Colman is a queen. That much we’ve all known for years, not least because she’s played a number of queens brilliantly in the past (if you haven’t watched 2018’s The Favourite, what are you waiting for?!). Marvel convincing her to join the MCU for Secret Invasion has to be a special kind of win for the franchise, and her character on the show is one of the very best things about it.
Recommended VideosThe fifth episode of Secret Invasion proved Special Agent Sonya Falsworth is an absolute legend, who listens to Stormzy on the way to stop a Skrull mega ploy.

— Cam 🎄 (@spideysdw) July 19, 2023The song playing when Fury meets her in Finland is “Audacity” from the British rapper’s sophomore album Heavy Is the Head if anyone was wondering. It’s a banger that Marvel had previously aptly used in a trailer for the show that dropped back in May.
In one month, the invasion is here.

Mother Sonya ate this scene I love her so much Miss Olivia Colman is a walking masterclass of acting Now I want her in every Marvel project I don't care I want it #SecretInvasion pic.twitter.com/8FyI5rXn8M

Sonya Falsworth you were dearly missed last episode, I need her being unserious as much as possible #SecretInvasion pic.twitter.com/BjKIMQZQaa
— Jack (-_•) (@captaincupkicks) July 19, 2023In any scene Olivia Colman is in, she steals it. We shouldn’t be surprised she’s completely stolen the show in her Marvel debut too.

Hard to disagree with this take:
Never mind the Infinity and Multiverse sagas, the whole point of the MCU so far was to give us Olivia Colman as Sonya Falsworth pic.twitter.com/yEAiUMxJSS
— Wh*donesque (@whedonesque) July 19, 2023We know Olivia Colman is a very busy Oscar-winning actress, but we still hope she finds the space in her schedule to appear in at least one more Marvel project (pretty please?).
Well, at least we still have one more episode of Secret Invasion to go, and we hope it’s as Sonya-heavy as episode five. The finale drops Wednesday, July 26, on Disney Plus.
