Wong could certainly be the next Fury if that's a title that needs to be filled. Someone has to do the grunt work while Fury is up in space, and based on what we saw in Spider-Man: Far From Home, Talos isn't exactly the best man for the job. There was something about that post-credits scene in Shang-Chi that felt very similar to when Nick Fury began his work on The Avengers initiative. I don't think so, and I almost have to believe that Wong may have been handed the keys to the kingdom in terms of wrangling superheroes.

If Carol and Wong are in frequent communication, then would it be crazy to assume that Wong has kept in touch with Fury? Talos and the Skrulls are clearly working under Nick Fury's direction, but I started wondering recently, are they the only ones? We know that Nick Fury has a good relationship with Captain Marvel, and she was seen communicating with Wong in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Perhaps Fury is keeping a watchful eye on whatever's off in the distance and hoping Captain Marvel and her allies past, present and future, can deal with what's coming. If the MCU had two crises at once, it's feasible that at least one of them could be handled by one of the most powerful heroes currently in the cinematic universe, Captain Marvel. He does, after all, have his own series on the way called Secret Invasion, so is all this space business tied to that? If so, that would explain all the Skrulls, given that the original Marvel Comics story featured Skrulls slowly taking over the identities of heroes.Īnother possibility and explanation for why Fury wanted Monica Rambeau, is that this is a slow build to the next Captain Marvel movie, The Marvels. There could be major issues with invading universes, but that doesn't mean that Nick Fury doesn't have his eye on a different major threat approaching Earth. With that being said, it's not as though the rule is that the Marvel Cinematic Universe can only deal with one crisis at a time.
