Having sat out Captain America: Civil War, Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury will make his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe next year as part of Avengers: Infinity War, and the star has been chatting to We Got This Covered about whether we can expect to see him popping up anywhere else in Phase Three.
“I’d love to do a Nick Fury movie,” said Jackson. “I’m always open and game. But they got Infinity Wars, two movies to do there, and after that there’s Brie Larson’s movie Captain Marvel, which maybe Nick will be part of. Also, I asked them, ‘So you’re doing Black Panther and the only black character in the Marvel Universe is not showing up?’ And they’re like, ‘Nick Fury is not in Wakanda!’ How can he not know the other black superhero on the planet? How the hell does that work? But they just said, ‘No you’re not in that one.'”
Before Infinity War and Captain Marvel, Jackson will link up with Brie Larson for Kong: Skull Island, which is set for release on March 10th.
