It’s high time Nick Fury was given the spotlight. One of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) most prominent and veteran characters has watched on for years as other MCU mainstays have earned their own movies and Disney Plus TV shows. You’d be forgiven, then, for thinking that Samuel L Jackson might have wondered if he’d ever star in his own project.
More than 15 years after Fury’s cameo in 2008’s Iron Man, the cocksure ex-director of SHIELD (and the Avengers’ handler, lest we forget) is finally getting his due. Secret Invasion, a six-part miniseries, puts Fury front and center of an espionage thriller-style story that promises to change everything (or, at least, some aspects of) we thought we knew about the MCU.
