One of the most intriguing bits about Secret Invasion that fans learned through leaks during production was that it would be the first time the MCU would introduce a new President of the United States. Since Iron Man 3, the President has always been William Sadler"s Matthew Ellis, but, of course, with the five-year time jump and term limits, there would inevitably have to be a new President.
Although, it"s funny that fans quickly learned that in Captain America: New World Order, Harrison Ford"s Thaddeus Ross would be the President of the US, which means something will have to happen to Dermot Mulroney"s President Ritson in Marvel Studios" upcoming espionage thriller series to make that possible.
