Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer SPOILER ALERT: This story discusses major plot developments in the series premiere of Marvel Studios’ “Secret Invasion,” currently streaming on Disney+. Since her first appearance as Maria Hill in 2012’s “The Avengers,” Cobie Smulders has popped into the Marvel Cinematic Universe roughly half-dozen times, racing into danger and cheating death as the hyper-competent lieutenant to Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), most recently in 2019’s “Spider-Man: Far From Home.” So when Marvel started planning the Disney+ series “Secret Invasion” — about how the shape-shifting Skrulls from the 2019’s prequel film “Captain Marvel” have turned against Fury and started infiltrating all levels of human society — it made perfect sense for Maria to show up, too.
Only this time, death caught up with her. In the series premiere, Maria works with Fury and his Skrull bff Talos (Ben Mendelsohn) to thwart a plan by Skrull separatist Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir) to detonate a series of bombs in Russia in an attempt to provoke a war with the United States. Not only does Fury fail to stop the explosions, but he’s powerless to stop Gravik from gunning down Maria in the ensuing chaos. The episode ends with Maria lifeless and bleeding out on the street. Maria’s apparent demise dramatically raises the stakes for Fury, especially after she dresses him down earlier in the episode for disappearing to the S.A.B.E.R space station above Earth after the Blip. But is Maria really dead? And if she is, how did Smulders feel about having the character killed off before audiences got to know her beyond her devotion to Fury? The actor talked with Variety about these questions and more below. How much advance warning did you have
