Captain Marvel 2: Everything We Know So Far About Nick Fury's Plan
2. It Will Likely Involve Maria Hill
Nick Fury has worked with a lot of people throughout his career, and is famously distrusting of those around him. After what Alexander Pierce did to him, you can’t exactly blame him, but he hasn’t actually trusted anyone since Goose scratched his eye in the 1990’s.
He never trusted Tony Stark, he worked closely with Natasha but still kept her at arm’s length, and only trusted Captain America when he had absolutely no other choice. However, his closest accomplice throughout his SHIELD career, with the possible exception of Coulson, has been Maria Hill.
She knew that he was really alive when no one else did, and it’s likely that he has taken her into space with him. They were both at Stark’s funeral, something for which he wouldn’t have sent Talos in his place, but after this they would have likely taken to the stars together.
If it was just Fury that left Earth, he would have almost certainly left Maria to handle passing EDITH onto Peter Parker, and he definitely wouldn’t have asked Soren to impersonate her. Surely the only reason he would employ a fake Maria Hill on Earth is if the real one wasn’t there.
