The first episode of Secret Invasion heavily mentioned Soren, a familiar character to Marvel Cinematic Universe fans. What happened to her? And why is her fate so important in the latest Disney Plus series? Here’s what you need to know, and beware of spoilers.
What happened to Soren?
Soren died before the events of Secret Invasion.
In Secret Invasion episode 1, Talos (Ben Mendelsohn) encountered his estranged daughter, G’iah (Emilia Clarke), now one of the Skrull separatists who want to take over Earth. Father and daughter met during a chase as G’iah was transporting some bombs that would later serve for a terroristic attack. During their confrontation, Talos informed G’iah that her mother, Soren, had died somewhere before the events of Secret Invasion. According to Talos, the one responsible for Soren’s death was Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir), the current leader of the Skrull separatists. For a moment, it appeared G’iah trusted her father, but then she ultimately sided with the New Skrullos society, leading to that explosive conclusion of the episode.

Portrayed by Sharon Blynn, Soren was first introduced in 2019’s Captain Marvel. She’s one of the Skrull refugees who found shelter in Mar-Vell’s Laboratory on Earth after their home planet of Skrullos was destroyed. During the escape, Soren lost contact with Talos and was finally reunited with her husband, thanks to the help of Carol Danvers, Maria Rambeau, and Nick Fury. She then took part in the subsequent clash with the Kree, playing a pivotal role in their defeat.
Soren and Talos joined forces with Fury while the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was vacationing on the S.A.B.E.R. Space Station. In Spider-Man: Far From Home, she and her husband help Peter Parker to defeat the fake Elemental attacks orchestrated by Quentin Back, a.k.a. Mysterio. The last scene she appeared in revealed that she was impersonating Maria Hill all the time while helping Spider-Man.
