The second biggest complaint with the episode was the cliffhanger ending, Maria Hill’s supposed death. You can read our spoiler recap and review of the episode here.
Speaking with David Canfield from Vanity Fair, Cobie Smulders revealed that he was keeping Maria Hill’s death in Secret Invasion a secret for over a year.
Smulders also said that she didn’t know her character was skrull in Spider-Man: Far From Home, but she is “pretty sure” that this is the end of the road for Hill.
“I mean, I didn’t know I was an alien in Spider-Man, there is a multiverse now, so anything is possible. But I’m pretty sure this is it.”
