Nick Fury is assisted by an unexpected face in the MCU series' fifth episode.
Marvel Cinematic Universe projects always come with a long list of rumored cameos. While some of them come true and give us very pleasant surprises, history has taught it’s always best to take them with a grain of salt. But it’s the unexpected cameos that feel more fulfilling in the ever-sprawling and interconnected MCU. In one of those surprising moves, this week’s episode of Secret Invasion shows the return of O-T Fagbenle’s Rick Mason, who first appeared in 2021’s Black Widow.
In Secret Invasion, Rick shows up to assist Nick Fury . He provides safe passage in a private jet to Finland. Rick reveals the helicarrier has been mothballed, so Fury can’t be too demanding of his means of travel. Though little is known up to this moment about his background, Rick in comic books is the son of Phineas Mason, better known as the villain Tinkerer.
What Future MCU Projects Could Rick Mason Show Up In? Since Armor Wars was retooled from being a Disney+ series into a feature film, there has been much expectation about the reasons for the change. The reveal in Episode 4 about James Rhodes being impersonated by a Skrull indicates the real Rhodey should be returning to clean fake Rhodes’s mess.
Considering the personal connection Rick had with Natasha and that he got to interact with Yelena in Black Widow, there’s also a possibility for the character to show up in Thunderbolts. The recently shifted film will bring together a bunch of misfits from other MCU projects, including Olga Kurylenko’s Taskmaster and David Harbour’s Red Guardian.
Rick’s reappearance in Secret Invasion is short-lived but very relevant. In a series where Fury can’t rely on anyone, Rick being his safeguard provides additional context for his character, showing how trustworthy he is. Sure, he’s still a smuggler/independent contractor, but he’s an honorable and loyal one. Even Natasha felt a personal connection with him and trusted him with her life. He makes for a very interesting character to be explored .
