In addition to the Marvel series Secret Invasion and movie The MarvelsSamuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury may be back in another MCU movie.
If he was not entitled to his solo film or a series in his name like Black Widow Where Hawkeye, Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury Should Remain One Of The Keystones Of The Marvel Extended Universeof which he has been a part since the end of the first Iron Man. After Spider-Man : Far from Homein which we learned that he was actually on board a spaceship and that Talos (Ben Mendelsohn) was impersonating him on Earth, the boss of SHIELD will be back in the series Secret Invasion where he will try to counter an invasion of Skrulls.
Events that might not be totally disconnected from the next one The Marvels directed by Nia DaCosta, in which he will also participate, but of which no element of synopsis has yet been revealed. Once his two projects have passed, it is difficult to know what Disney intends to do with the character and his interpreter, but his latest may have found another Marvel franchise to squat.
“I Will Bury You All”
During his recent stint on the podcast Happy Sad Confusedduring which he notably confirmed that he wanted to take over the role of Mace Windu in the Star Wars saga, Samuel L. Jackson also hinted that he could appear in a third Phase 4 project:
“C‘eIt’s a bit strange when someone tells you they’re going to give you a contract for nine films. You wonder how long you’ll have to stay alive to make those nine movies. Because before, it took time to make a film. It always does, but people do two or three at a time. In the Marvel Universe, that’s crazy.
When I was in London there was [ndlr : les tournages] d’Ant-Man [ndlr : Ant-Man et la Guêpe : Quantumania]and Captain Marvel 2 [ndlr : The Marvels], and we were preparing to do Secret Invasion. So it was like having three Marvel movies on one lot. I was kind of running from place to place.“
Nick Fury
If his declaration does not have confirmation value, the name of the actor could therefore be added to the cast ofAnt-Man and the Wasp : Quantumania, if only for a quick passage in front of the camera, especially in one of the obligatory post-credits scenes. With the founder of the Avengers still having eyes and ears hanging out, the threat of a new galactic invader should not fail to interest the boss of SHIELD.
After Thanos (Josh Brolin) and the Infinity Stones, the next big MCU villain should be Kang the Conqueror – played by Jonathan Majors after his variant appeared in Loki -, while the multiverse will be the new center of gravity of the extended universe. Among other confirmed cast members, the Peyton Reed-directed film will obviously mark the return of Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly in the title roles.
Reunion
Michelle Pfeiffer will take over the costume of Janet Van Dyne and Michael Douglas the white coat of Doctor Hank Pym. The film will also be an opportunity for actor Bill Murray to set foot in the world of superheroes with a role for the moment kept secret. On their side, Captain Marvel 2 and Ant-Man 3 are expected to hit theaters in February and July 2023, respectively. Secret Invasion hasn’t announced a release date yet, but should land on Disney+ later this year.
