Ardent Marvel fans know Cobie Smulders as the tough and observant Maria Hill. Working closely with Fury, she is probably one of the few agents who has a slightly better understanding of the mysterious founder of the Avengers. Although her character has appeared in many Marvel movies, viewers still don't know a lot about her.

However, from the trailer for Secret Invasion, it seems that viewers will finally get better insight into Maria and her role in the grand scheme of things.

In Secret Invasion, which is slated for release on June 21, 2023, Samuel L. Jackson is back as Nick Fury. While the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D is no stranger to fans of the MCU, this series will delve deeper into his past and also give viewers an idea about how his work impacts his personal life.

The story will center around Fury uncovering a secret invasion plan by shapeshifting Skrulls. He then works together with Everett K. Ross (Martin Freeman), Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders), and Talos (Ben Mendelsohn) to save Earth.

It is interesting to note that Maria Hill is not the only memorable role played by Cobie Smulders. The talented actor has appeared in multiple films and TV shows that have helped boost her career.
