A throwaway line in the post-credits sequence of Avengers: Infinity War could contain a clue about the film’s much anticipated sequel, Avengers: Endgame. The film’s stinger showed Nick Fury and Maria Hill, SHIELD agents played by Samuel L Jackson and Cobie Smulders, being ‘killed’ as part of the Decimation event.
But before being reduced to dust, Fury says, “Tell Klein we’ll meet him at –”. A Marvel fan has discovered who the ‘Klein’ is. In a post on Reddit that has received close to 2000 ‘upvotes’, the fan theorises that Fury was referring to Cameron Klein, a character who first appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
According to Heroic Hollywood, Klein remains loyal to Steve Rogers even as SHIELD was taken over by Hydra. He reappears in Avengers: Age of Ultron, when he helps Fury during the Battle of Sokovia. “This is Cameron Klein,” the Redditor wrote alongside a picture of the character. “He’s the guy Fury and Hill were supposed to meet during the post-credit scene from IW. So, unless he’s dusted, I think he’s gonna have a role in Endgame.”

The post-credits sequence of the film ends with Fury and Hill also succumbing to the cleansing, but as his last heroic gesture, Fury sends out a distress signal to Captain Marvel.
The character, played by Oscar-winner Brie Larson, will make her MCU debut in her solo movie, due out in March. Captain Marvel will be a prequel and will feature Jackson in a supporting role. The character is expected to appear in a significant role in Endgame, and has also been touted to take over in a leadership role post Phase IV.
Avengers: Endgame is directed by Joe & Anthony Russo, and stars Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner, among several others. The film has been scheduled for an April release.
