The actor behind the shocking death at the goal of Marvel’sSecret InvasionEpisode 1 just opened up about how it ’s wait like this is the end of their MCU journey .

🚨   There are obviously monumental looter ahead for Marvel’sSecret InvasionEpisode 1 ! 🚨

Marvel’sSecret Invasion, the MCU’s first TV series in Phase 5, just premiered, and oh my god, we are off to a chaotic start.

Set in the present-dayMCU,Secret Invasionfollows Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), who has learned about a clandestine invasion of Earth by a faction of shapeshifting Skrulls.

Fury joins forces with Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders), Everett Ross (Martin Freeman), and Talos (Ben Mendelsohn), who has been living on Earth, as they race to stop the imminent Skrull invasion and save humanity.

The series marks the first MCU show sinceShe-Hulk: Attorney at Lawin 2022 and is one of the more “traditional drama” series we’ve gotten so far.

WhileSecret Invasionintroduces a bunch of new actors, likeEmilia ClarkeandOlivia Colman, to theMarvel Cinematic Universe, it also marks thereturnof some beloved characters, like Maria Hill and Nick Fury.

The first episode does a great job of setting up the stakes for the series, with Hill and Fury trying to hunt down a threat, namely Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir), a leader of a group of rebel Skrulls.

This takes Fury and Hill to Moscow, where in the final minutes of Episode 1, Gravik sets off a bunch of explosions and then disguises himself as Fury and SHOOTS Hill.

Now, at this point I was like, “OH MY GOD WHAT?!” But I was secretly thinking this wasn’t Maria but was actually a Skrull version of her…but nope…it’s not looking like that.

What’s even worse is Maria seemingly dies thinking Fury shot her?! When I tell you I was screaming and crying.

And I’m not the only one. Marvel fans flocked to Twitter after the firstSecret Invasionepisode to talk about how devastating it is that Maria was seemingly (LOL I am gonna live in denial forever) killed:

And while I’m happy over here in my little “Maria Hill is not really dead, I will believe it never” bubble, it looks like this could really be the end of Cobie Smulders' journey in the MCU.

Ina new interview with Vanity Fair, Cobie talked about her character’s tragic fate, saying, “There is a multiverse now, so anything is possible. But I’m pretty sure this is it.”

“It felt and it feels strange,” she continued. “Maria Hill’s passing is very real, and it’s shocking, and it feels very human. It was a sad day.”

Cobie made her first appearance as Maria Hill 11 years ago inThe Avengersin 2012. Since then, she’s appeared in countless Marvel movies, often being the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in the corner (and Fury’s No. 2) while The Avengers run around.

She continued, saying, “I mean, listen, it would’ve been great [to continue as Maria]. Of course I would’ve loved to do more, but I trust that Marvel is doing the storyline that they think is best.”

Like every Marvel project, Cobie said they were worried the big death would leak, so much so that the script wasn’t even printed out, according to Vanity Fair. Cobie’s final scene as Maria was her death scene.

“To have Fury see himself, to know that Hill thinks that Fury shot her — that’s the pain of that moment,” she said. “I like to think that she, by the time she passed, knew it wasn’t him. Initially, it’s terrifying and so confusing. But I’d like to think she got there.”

Welp, I will be over here in my little denial world hoping to god that Cobie has been so well trained by Marvel — and better at lying than Tom Holland or Andrew Garfield — that this isn’t really the end of Maria Hill.
