Now, this particular little curveball is one that wouldn't have even been on the horizon were it not for the post-credits on the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home. Given the fact that that movie's sequel was never confirmed to be in the MCU, according to those financial requirement rumours, the post-credits showing the real Fury, the Skrull and the mysterious space station have to be pointing to a project somewhere in the future of the MCU.

Trouble is, none of Phase 4 actually fits what Fury could be doing. Which is clearly establishing S.W.O.R.D. as a space-bound defence station against threats from the universe. It could PERHAPS fit Doctor Strange's multiverse story, but Fury has no established means to track multiverse threats, which is solely a Sorceror thing, so it's unlikely.

So what if that teaser was designed to set up a Secret Wars/S.W.O.R.D. Disney+ show continuing the story of the Skrull and those Kree "sleeper agent" pockets mentioned in passing in Far From Home. Surely that would fit?
