‘Secret Invasion’ Cast & Creators On Why Audiences Might Doubt Nick Fury In Marvel’s Espionage Thriller

deadline.com:

Expect to see a different side of Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury in Secret Invasion. It’s been a while since audiences have seen the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D, who last appeared aboard a spaceship in the post-credit scene of Spider-Man: Far From Home.

In Secret Invasion, he’s finally returning to Earth to help thwart an invasion from a faction of rebel Skrull, the alien race that has been searching for a new homeland since their planet Skrullos was destroyed. “At one point in the series, Nick realizes this is his own battle for different reasons,” director Ali Selim told Deadline at the Secret Invasion Los Angeles premiere. “It’s less about vanquishing the bad guy and more about defending the moral code that Nick Fury has developed throughout the MCU.

In a way, he’s the only being in the universe that can defend that moral code.” Of course, Fury is no stranger to saving the world.

He founded the Avengers. But, since returning to after Thanos’ snap, the spy has lost his footing, explained executive producer and Marvel VP of Development Jonathan Schwartz. “I think we’ll see a version of Nick Fury that’s a little bit unlike past versions of Nick Fury, who was almost omniscient and six steps ahead and knew everything that everyone else was thinking before they were thinking it,” he added. “This is a version that is a little bit more on his back foot and a little bit older, and we’re going to wonder to ourselves, ‘Does Nick Fury still have what it takes to save the world?'”“It’s less about vanquishing the bad guy and more about defending the moral code that Nick Fury has developed throughout the MCU”: #SecretInvasion director Ali Selim on the tone of the series pic.twitter.com/AgvgmqjG5z For Secret Invasion, Marvel
