Captain Marvel will finally bring the Skrulls to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and there's a lot of excitement about what that could mean moving forward. After all, the door has to be wide open to a big screen adaptation of Secret Invasion somewhere down the line and that has the potential to change this shared world in some truly insane ways.
For now, though, some concept art from Captain Marvel's "Art of" book has leaked online ahead of its release and it potentially reveals a game-changing spoiler for this movie and beyond.
It's possible that Nick Fury was just used as an example here to show how the Skrulls are able to transform into someone but it's hard to escape the feeling that this is indeed a major spoiler.
After all, what an incredible twist it would be for us to learn that Nick Fury has been a Skrull all this time and that he assembled Earth's Mightiest Heroes in a bid to use them as a weapon against the Kree somewhere down the line or something similar. We'll have to wait and see but this is well worth talking about so be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments section!

Carol Danvers' Six Years Of Memories
The book reveals that Carol (or "Vers" as she's now known) has no memory of her life beyond the past six years or so. However, she's been told that she lost all knowledge as a result of the Kastelian attacks which were orchestrated by the Skrulls.
That's quite a story to spin and would explain why she's working with the Kree; the former Air Force pilot has been led to believe that she's one of them and her memory loss was the direct result of the shape-shifting aliens. How much truth there is to that obviously remains to be seen.
Skrulls Can (Sort Of) Read Minds
The Skrulls are able to shapeshift into anyone just by looking at them but there's more to being "simmed" than just having your identity stolen. The book reveals that the aliens also retain the memories of those they imitate.
It's said that after turning into someone else, the Skrulls copy "the genetic markers, DNA and recent memories of their target." That means it will be extremely hard to find out who's a Skrull as various tests wouldn't reveal their true selves, biologically speaking, and the fact they have those memories will surely make it easier to blend in as well.
