It is confirmed that Secret Invasion helps set up the Armor Wars movie. Don Cheadle is scheduled to make his MCU return as James Rhodes a.k.a. War Machine in Nick Fury's Disney+ series. This follows only a small role in MCU Phase 4 thanks to Rhodey's cameo in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The extent of War Machine's role in Secret Invasion is unknown, but the confirmation that its story helps set up Armor Wars is telling. A massive connection could be ahead based on Marvel Studios changing Armor Wars from a show to a movie after working on Secret Invasion.
On the surface, connecting Secret Invasion and Armor Wars does not seem that obvious for Marvel. The first is a Disney+ series focused on an alien invasion and Nick Fury's spy/espionage corner of the franchise. Meanwhile, Armor Wars is an adaptation of a comic event where Tony Stark must take back his technology as various villains begin using it. There is a potential government oversight link that could bond the two MCU projects together, but Secret Invasion should focus heavily on the Skrulls as they invade Earth. Based on the trailers, that is because they are after something valuable.
