Black Panther star Martin Freeman has a surprising take on his new MCU fate.

The series' opening sequence set the tone asMartin Freeman’sMCU character was outed as a Skrull.

Audiences remember seeing Everett Ross in the MCU as recently as last winter inBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Black Panther Wakanda Forever, Skrull

Put it this way, I wasnt playing anything in ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ as a Skrull.

I dont wanna believe hes been a Skrull this whole time, so I dont.

Thats not what Ive played.

Everett Ross

Ive believed, all the time, in Rosss integrity, actually.

I really enjoy playing Ross, as a Skrull or otherwise.

Ive enjoyed playing him as an organic human man, so I dont wanna lose him to Skrulldom.

Dead Skrull

So, no, Ross, for me, is not a Skrull.

What the fuck?!'

Because then, you have to retrofit everything youve done and everything the audience thinks.

So, Im just gonna go with my own thing.

Ive played him as a human, so thats what I believe."
