The story of Samuel L. Jackson playing the role of Nick Fury is an amazing development that has turned to a decade-long working relationship.
One day, Jackson began receiving phone calls from comic nerds close to him that Marvel had a new character named Nick Fury that is in Jackson’s likeness. He however investigated before having his agent reach out, but instead of being aggressive, they wanted to see what the plans were. Lo and behold, soon after, Jackson was cast to play Nick Furry in the post-credit scenes of the first Iron Man film. Little did he know that role would span 10 years and peak with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame in 2019. Jackson also co-starred in Captain Marvel, which tied the two films together, and appeared in the most recent Marvel offering, Spiderman: Far From Home.
Now, according to reports from Variety, the actor is will spreading his wings over to Disney+ in a new show that’s in development from Marvel.
Samuel L. Jackson is set to reprise the role of Nick Fury in a new Marvel series currently in development at Disney+, Variety has learned exclusively from sources.
