Although the first episode of Marvel’sSecret Invasionseries only premier Wednesday , people ca n’t stop speak about its , um , last moment . Maria Hill , who ’s been played by Cobie Smulders since 2012’sThe Avengers , has weighed in on what she thinks happened . The news has already pervaded most of the nerdernet , but just in example you ’re lucky enough not to know …
Maria Hill , right - hand woman to Nick Fury , has died , shot in the gut by a recreant Skrull masquerade as her friend and mentor . The question that fans have been ghost with since Secret Invasion ’s maiden episode debuted is whether Hill realized it was a Skrull in disguise , or whether she believed she had been shit . Smulders has her own resolution .
speak toVanity Fair , Smulders take the happier of the two options . “ To have Fury see himself , to know that Hill think that Fury shot her — that ’s the pain of that moment , ” Smulders separate the publication . “ I like to believe that she , by the time she pass , knew it was n’t him . ab initio , it ’s terrific and so confusing . But I ’d like to guess she drive there . ”

in person , I agree with Smulders ’ judgement , mainly because Maria Hill was a very saucy , adequate to someone who knew she was literally at that moment chasing shape - shifting aliens who require her dead , and thus were a much , much , much likelier perpetrator than the real Nick Fury . Maria Hill ai n’t no dummy … er , were n’t no dummy .
This , of trend , beg the question of whether Maria Hill is really numb , sacrifice that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is presently the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse , where theoretically an myriad numeral of Maria Hills could be go around . The case is rumored to star in The Marvels , which will premiere this November . Smulders says , “ I do n’t know anything about that , ” as de jure obligated by the ominous vow of silence Marvel Studios force their star to make . It barely weigh — these are comical book of account movie , no one ever needs to stay numb if a future report requires it — but there ’s a much easier explanation . Maria Hill did come out in Spider - Man : Far From Home , only to be bring out to be Soren the Skrull in disguise , companion by Talos as Nick Fury , run as the former SHIELD film director ’s factor while he was on holiday out in distance .
Dead or not , Hill / Smulders had a hell of a run . Even if you do n’t count Far From Home , she was in all four Avengers films , and appeared in Captain America : Civil War . Goodbye , Maria and Cobie . You ’ll be missed . peradventure . belike . Oh , who the hell do it — or rather , who the hell is allowed to say ?
