Cobie Smulders, who plays Maria Hill in the MCU, is reportedly making an appearance in The Marvels, according to The Hollywood Reporter. This may come as a surprise to viewers, though, as her character – Nick Fury's right-hand woman – was killed off in the first episode of Secret Invasion.
In the episode's dramatic scene, Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Hill fail to intercept a bomb attack in Moscow carried out by the mercenary Skrulls, led by series antagonist Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir). Amidst the chaos, Gravik shapeshifts into Fury and kills Hill – a shock ending to the opening episode of a series that looked set to center around Fury and Hill's double act.
