Samuel L. Jackson Was Actually Glad That Marvel Never Did a Nick Fury Movie

Samuel L. Jackson, known for his role as Nick Fury in Marvel movies, expressed his disagreement with fans who wanted to see a spin-off movie solely focused on his character.

Instead, he believed that his role in the series “Secret Invasion” was a better fit for Nick Fury.

While many Marvel heroes have received standalone films, Nick Fury has not, and Jackson saw this as a positive outcome.

Despite fans’ desire for a Nick Fury movie, it never materialized in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Jackson has been vocal about his character’s absence from other Marvel films, such as Black Panther and Civil War.

He questioned why Nick Fury wasn’t present when the Avengers were fighting each other, acting as the voice of reason and control.

However, Jackson didn’t seem as passionate about the idea of a Nick Fury movie.

Instead, he found satisfaction in starring in the Disney+ series Secret Invasion, which allowed for more screen time and exploration of his character.

He believed that an hour and a half or two hours wouldn’t be enough to properly delve into Nick Fury’s story, but having six hours in a series format was ideal.

Interestingly, before the MCU even began, illustrators used Jackson’s likeness for the Nick Fury character in the original Marvel comic books.

When Jackson discovered this, he questioned the decision and was informed about the upcoming Marvel movies.

It was then decided that Jackson would play Nick Fury if the films were given the green light.

While Jackson enjoyed his time as Nick Fury, there was another franchise he was interested in joining: the John Wick universe.

He expressed his love for the John Wick movies and even discussed the idea of being a part of John Wick 3 with Laurence Fishburne and Keanu Reeves.

However, as the John Wick franchise progressed, Jackson has yet to make an appearance in any of the films.

Despite any potential interest in other franchises, Jackson has shown no signs of growing tired of playing Nick Fury.

He has been a constant presence throughout the Marvel franchise, even as other original Avengers have come and gone.

Jackson’s main concern was always that his character would be killed off, as he enjoyed the role and the opportunity it provided.

In conclusion, Samuel L. Jackson’s disagreement with fans who wanted a Nick Fury movie led him to believe that his character’s involvement in the series “Secret Invasion” was a better choice.

While he expressed interest in the John Wick universe, his primary focus has been on portraying Nick Fury in the Marvel films, where he has become an iconic figure.
