Nick Fury is back… or maybe it’s just another Skrull impersonating him. Whatever happens, Samuel L. Jackson is returning to portray Fury, as hinted in his recent Instagram post.
Jackson posted a picture of Fury’s classic French beard but with a bit of grey in it, hinting at a possibly aged version of the character.
The caption of the post read:
Fury has been a key character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He first appeared in 2008’s Iron Man. He was last seen in Spider-Man: Far From Home and might be returning for The Marvels and/or Secret Invasion.
When Fury appeared in Captain Marvel, Jackson had to be de-aged using VFX. The film also gave us the hilarious backstory about how Fury got his iconic eye patch.
Earlier this week, Brie Larson confirmed that The Marvels had begun filming. So it is possible that Jackson is on the set with the superhero that inspired Fury to initiate Project Avengers.
Jackson’s post can also be a hint that the upcoming show, Secret Invasion, has begun filming. The plot details for the show have been kept under tight wraps.
(One could say… they’re being very secretive).
Disney+ official description for Secret Invasion reads:
Secret Invasion is a newly announced series heading to Disney+ that stars Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as the Skrull Talos—characters who first met in Captain Marvel. The crossover comic event series showcases a faction of shape-shifting Skrulls who have been infiltrating Earth for years.

In the comics, it is a crossover event. The miniseries will follow Nick Fury and Talos as they deal with an invasion of shape-shifting Skrulls who have infiltrated Earth. Nobody can be trusted as the shape-shifting Skrulls have replaced many of Marvel’s heroes with impostors, setting the stage for an all-out invasion.
Secret Invasion has an impressive cast, including Olivia Colman, Emilia Clarke, Kingsley Ben-Adir, with Killian Scott, Christopher McDonald, and Carmen Ejogo reportedly starring as well. Whereas, The Marvels will have Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, Iman Vellani along with Zawe Ashton and Seo Jun Park.
The Marvels has a release date set for November 11, 2022. Secret Invasion does not yet have a scheduled release date. However, Jackson will also voice his character in the Disney+ animated series, What If…?, which premiered this week.
