WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD FOR MARVEL’S SECRET INVASION EPISODE 1.
The latest MCU Disney+ show focuses on Samuel L Jackson’s Nick Fury, who has been in the franchise since the end of Iron Man back in 2008.
A sort of Captain Marvel 1.5, Secret Invasion follows the former S.H.I.E.L.D. director in uncovering a renegade Skrull conspiracy to take over the world.
Fans will remember the aliens as the shapeshifters who can take the form of humans.
Now the first episode has aired and it ended with a massive death of a long-time MCU character.

During the Moscow bombing, Cobie Smulders’ Maria Hill was killed. The former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and sidekick to Fury first appeared in 2012’s The Avengers before returning in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron and briefly in Infinity War and Endgame before her Skrull featured in Spider-Man: Far From Home.
She’s certainly been an MCU stalwart for over a decade but we don’t for a minute think she’s actually dead. Here’s why. Firstly, and most obviously, that could have been a Skrull that died instead of Hill. Yet whatever the case, there’s evidence that Smulders plays the characters in the next big MCU movie, The Marvels.
Secret Invasion feeds into Captain Marvel 2 and stars Jackson’s Fury again, but there’s no sign of Hill in the first trailer. Nevertheless, if you Google “cast of the marvels” Smulders is included. She’s also listed on the Wikipedia page and Maria Hill’s MCU Wiki page as being in the upcoming movie.
The reference for the latter is the IMDb page and reads: “Marie Fink is listed as her stunt double on IMDb”, but interestingly is now not on The Marvels cast page nor is Smulders. Interesting…
Secret Invasion is streaming on Disney+ and The Marvels hits cinemas on November 10, 2023.
