Samuel L. Jackson Talks Nick Fury’s Role in Captain Marvel
Samuel L. Jackson spoke with The AV Club discussing Nick Fury’s role in the upcoming Captain Marvel. Jackson spoke about the film’s 1990s setting, which of course takes place chronologically before all the MCU films to date except the World War II-set Captain America: The First Avenger.
Jackson said of his role, “We’re going back now, and I meet Captain Marvel in more of an origin story. You’ll see Nick Fury with another guy’s face, somebody that’s got two eyes, so that’s a whole big deal. You’ll see. It’s prior to the eye injury, no eye patch.”
In addition, Brie Larson shared a picture to her Instagram account of herself at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, researching F-15 fighters. Carol Danvers is an Air Force captain in the comics, so it seems to make sense that she will have a similar role in the film. Skrulls will be the primary antagonists in the film.
Also starring in the film are Ben Mendelsohn, DeWanda Wise and Jude Law, with Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck directing. The movie releases on March 8th, 2019.
