Fury and captain marvel


Why did Nick Fury seem surprised about the invasion from space if he already knew about captain marvel?

reply

Did he, though? He already had a plan in motion to organize Earths superhumans.

He didn't seem that surprised to me. And considering he was already trying to form the Avengers about a year or so before the invasion, it seems he was expecting something like this.

Keep in mind, Fury showed up in the after-credits of Thor with the Tesseract and mentioned it came from another world, so even before the events of Avengers, he was well aware of Asgardians and other realms. Then there was Agents of SHIELD which came after these films where we see that Fury had a dead Kree frozen in storage and used it to bring Coulson back to life. Fury's been around the block a few times in regards to aliens.

^What was said.

But let’s argue that he was indeed so surprised... it’s possible to still be taken aback by something like an alien invasion even if you were more or less prepared for it.

Fury is a spy. He's THE spy. His job is to lie.
