But like most Skrulls they're all tied more to the FF and Silver Surfer.

But just why they're (supposedly) replacing the Shi'ar with the Skrulls is beyond me. Maybe they caught wind the Skrulls are going to be in Captain Marvel and Fox felt they the need to beat Marvel to the punch. That's what it honestly feels like. I remember back in SDCC 2017 when they announced the Skrulls would play part in 'Captain Marvel', people brought up how "Fox also has the rights to using them, along with the Super-Skrull, but there is no way they are planning on ever using them since how they've failed with their Fantastic Four movies".

That was announced in SDCC late July, while 'Dark Phoenix' started filming late June. So if Fox were to make use of the Skrulls for the first time in their movie, it would either be very coincidental (especially with the eventually delayed release date), or foolish if they decided to change it to the Skrulls while during filming based on the announcement that they will be in 'Captain Marvel' (which makes on wonder who the villains were originally planned to be, since Skrulls are unique in being shape-shifters, and if that will play a role or not).
