Taking a character who is well-known to fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and offering them something fresh was one of the most stunning things the first two episodes of Secret Invasion did. A storyline hole from Captain America: The Winter Soldier is actually filled by the show’s major revelation concerning Nick Fury. In the last scene of Episode 2, Nick Fury arrives to a residence in London where his Skrull wife is waiting to welcome him. The Skrull seems to be Varra in the 1997 opening scene, but in the credits, she is listed as “Priscilla.” Fury’s entire persona is recontextualized after it is known that he has a wife. The introduction of a spouse demonstrates that fans don’t truly understand this figure they have spent 16 years with, given his mysterious departure after S.H.I.E.L.D. fell and his post-Blip trauma. Although some reviewers may object that Priscilla’s appearance is a “wife out of nowhere” for Fury, it really serves as a payoff for a scene from Captain America’s second movie. Fans frequently misinterpret the phrase “plot hole” to refer to a “dangling plot thread.” These riddles are sometimes misconstrued as bad writing in a serial plot like the MCU. A real narrative hole in The Winter Soldier is transformed into one of the longest dangling threads in the movie by the revelation that Fury has a wife.
While travelling through Washington, D.C., Nick Fury nearly loses his life in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. He can cut through a sizable portion of the roadway with a super-torch and dive into the sewers below. Later, he appears at Cap’s flat and engages in what appears to be a routine chat. He uses his smartphone to tell Cap that there are “ears everywhere” in the residence. At the time, it seemed like a stupid lie, but he claims to Steve that his wife ejected him from the home. Steve texts Cap to inform him that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been compromised, and Cap answers by enquiring as to how many individuals are aware of “his wife.” How many individuals are aware of the threat, he inquires, and Fury responds once again through text. He replies aloud, however, that only his “friends” are aware of his wife. The fact that Alexander Pierce, the leader of both HYRDA and S.H.I.E.L.D., was Nick’s best friend rendered this a narrative hole. He wouldn’t lie about having a wife when Pierce would be one of the few people to know that wasn’t the case, therefore it didn’t make sense. However, it was.
Nick Fury claims in the first episode of the Secret Invasion series that he is unable to tell whether a Skrull is acting human. This may indicate that Fury is ignorant that his wife is a Skrull. That doesn’t seem plausible, though, given that the Skrull who presented him to Gravik looks to be the same. Even though the series will probably provide a solution to that question, the fact that he even has a wife fills a narrative hole from The Winter Soldier. It wouldn’t have made sense for Pierce to lie about having a wife if he truly knew Fury better than anybody. But Fury is smarter than that; it only took supporters almost ten years to figure out what Pierce had done. Fury has a spouse.
Fury puts on his wedding band right away when Priscilla asks if he forgot anything when he gets there. It makes total sense for Fury to conceal his marriage from both his adversaries and his coworkers. Pierce was probably unaware that Fury’s wife was a Skrull (assuming Fury is indeed a Skrull), but he was probably aware that his pal did have a significant other. It’s possible that he was trying to keep her safe by claiming that she ejected him from the house while also giving the impression that she was ignorant of the issues at S.H.I.E.L.D. In any case, MCU viewers ought to have been questioning if Nick Fury was actually married rather than complaining that his “lie” constituted a narrative hole.
