As Marvel can consider the second Spidey movie a success, actress Cobie Smolder spoke with THR on that end credit scene. While fans thought that it was Maria Hill and Nick Fury guiding Peter Parker the whole film, the reveal at the end showed that they were Skrulls the whole time. Skrulls acting on behalf of the real Nick Fury, who was in some sort of vacation simulation.
The fans may not have picked up on this until the big reveal and Smolder revealed she also didn’t find out until later.
Shifting to Far From Home spoilers, was the Skrull reveal scripted, or was it something that was added at the 11th hour?
“It was added. I don’t know if it was necessarily at the 11th hour; I don’t know when they thought of it. It was a surprise to me. I bumped into Kevin Feige at a party and he said, “I gotta tell you something about what’s happening.” I was excited, but I was also confused. I asked, “Well, where is she? What’s she up to?” You can use your own imagination to figure that out. It’s cool because it is the constant shifting of this world. I don’t know where they’re going to go with it, or if that’s a tease for what’s to come. I just love that it was another layer of the film that was going on, potentially the whole time.”
She then continued:
And that definitely wasn’t your voice or you in Skrull prosthetics, right? I believe Sharon Blynn was uncredited as Soren.
“Yeah, that was not me; that was Sharon. I gave her credit and told her, “You did a great job! You were so convincing as Maria Hill.” There were moments where Mysterio made everything up, and we wondered if we should be doing something differently. But, I just played it how I would normally, which I’m glad I did because it would’ve maybe tipped the audience.”
The Hollywood Reporter then asked Maria what she felt about the rumor of Maria being a Skrull this whole time. After all, Nick originally met the Skrulls in the 90s (i.e. Captain Marvel). We saw the real Nick Fury lounging around, but not the real Maria. Plus, we’ve never really known much about her. Smolder expressed:
In the end-credit scene, we’re shown that the real Nick Fury is on a spaceship with the rest of the Skrulls, but we weren’t shown where the real Maria Hill is. Thus, the Internet is running wild with the idea that Maria has been a Skrull since 2012’s The Avengers. Do you reject the Internet’s hypothesis?
“Anything is possible. They could change it to be that way, but in my mind — no. I don’t know where she is, but my hope is that she’s on vacation somewhere. In this world, she’s probably just on some other mission. This world has suffered an utter chaos, and it’s about picking up the pieces. The Skrull thing is a possibility; they could go in that direction, but I understand what you said earlier about her being too human or sassy to this point. If someone was pretending to be her, she’d maybe be a little more robotic. So, it could go in any direction.”
What did you think of the Skrull reveal and do you think Maria Hill has been a Skrull all along?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
