Spider-Man: Far From Home Postcredits Scenes Explained
Spider-Man: Far From Home Has 2 Postcredits Scenes, and They're Genuinely Mind-Boggling

The second postcredits scene is much shorter, but it packs quite a shock. The scene reveals that the Maria Hill and Nick Fury we'd been watching throughout FFH are actually Skrulls! Specifically, the pair are really Talos and his wife, who we last see in Captain Marvel. The two call Fury, who appears to be relaxing beachside, and explain how things went particularly awry while they were covering for the two former SHIELD agents.
When Fury hangs up, he stands up from his lawn chair as the camera pans further away and reveals that he's really in the hanger of a huge ship and all around him are other Skrulls. "Back to work," he calls out as he walks further into the ship, revealing the view outside the ship's windows, making it suddenly clear that he's been hanging out in space rather than on Earth.
This is big, people. First and foremost, we have to wonder how long Nick and Maria have been using the Skrulls to cover for them. They were among the others snapped in Infinity War and were last seen at Tony's funeral. Since FFH takes place pretty soon after Endgame, that means the two were pretty quickly taken onboard the Skrull ship. And since this all takes place decades after Captain Marvel, this means Fury and the Skrulls have been in contact for a long time. Why didn't Fury return to Earth? What is he doing with the Skrulls, and presumably, Carol Danvers? What "work" are they doing that's more important than the ruckus Mysterio was causing on Earth?
We have so many questions, but we have a feeling that this scene in particular sets us up for the cosmic adventures Marvel will be taking in Phase Four of the films. Not only are we diving into the Eternals and catching up with the Guardians of the Galaxy, but we still have to find out what Captain Marvel has been up to this whole time. Looks like Phase Four has a lot of ground to cover, and FFH's postcredit scene is barely the tip of the iceberg.
