'Avengers 4' Fan Theory Suggests Nick Fury Has Known Everything All Along

There are a lot of mysteries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but one that seems to have gone under the radar is how Nick Fury knows so much about the Avengers and the other heroes.

While Fury and his cohorts at the spy organization SHIELD have gone under the radar in recent years, they were still very much in the thick of things. Until, that is, Thanos happened to snap away half of all life in existence in Avengers: Infinity War.

Fury and his companion Maria Hill are set to return in Spider-Man: Far From Home, according to recent set photos, but there's still the whole confrontation with Thanos and his Infinity Stones that they have to deal with.

And one fan has a theory why Fury knows exactly how to deal with this threat:

So, what do you think? Has Marvel Studios planed out all of these plots so intricately, without leaving room for directors and screenwriters to put their own stamp on the characters, without the freedom of being able to tell their own stories?

Or has everything since the first Iron Man movie been intricately planned in order to tell this specific story at this specific time, whether or not Joe and Anthony Russo were going to be involved?

We'll let you be the judge. But until we find out for sure, we're just going to have to wait patiently until the premier of Avengers 4 on May 3, 2019.
