And he’s come home to a good, old-fashioned alien invasion.
Warning: The following contains spoilers for Episode 1 of Secret Invasion.
While some are living peacefully, others look to wipe out humans to control the planet for themselves.
Secondly, the much more impactful death is that of Maria Hill.
It was actually a Skrull–series villain Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir)–who pulled the trigger.
However, it remains to be seen whether Hill realizes Fury didn’t take the shot before she passes.
This death, obviously, is a major one for Marvel.
Smulders first appeared as Maria Hill in the original Avengers movie.
And she says, ‘Okay, great.
Where do you want me to die?’
Why does this make sense in the MCU?
It just makes sense in this story.
So it was really, again, just a matter of making it emotionally true for the story.
And for that moment."
Is she really dead, though?
That’s the question fans will certainly be asking themselves for the remainder of the series.
How he remains alive and well.
Whatever the case, that was a major card to play in the first episode of Secret Invasion.
It certainly sets a tone to expect more surprises going forward.
Secret Invasion episodes release Wednesdays on Disney+.
