During the San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel’s Kevin Feige revealed that Nick Fury will be appearing in 2019’s Captain Marvel movie, and – give that it’s set in the 1990s – the former head of S.H.I.E.L.D. will have both eyes.
Well, it seems that Samuel L. Jackson is yet to sign on to the project, with the actor telling Yahooo! that: “I haven’t signed a contract, haven’t seen a script. I talked to Brie Larson the other day, she didn’t say anything. She’s the only person I know that’s actually in the movie.”
Meanwhile, in some rather surprising news, Jackson has also suggested that Nick Fury won’t be appearing in Avengers: Infinity War and its as-yet-untitled sequel (despite rumours of him being on set during the Durham Cathedral shoot):
“I wasn’t in the ‘superhero argument’ movie [Captain America: Civil War], I’m not in Avengers 3 and 4. They’re shooting them now, and they haven’t called me yet. They wouldn’t let me go to Black Panther-ville, so it’s kinda like how you gonna make a black Marvel movie and not let Nick Fury show up in it!”
Will you be disappointed if Nick Fury doesn’t make his grand return in Avengers: Infinity War? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below…
As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.
