Samuel L Jackson and Olivia Colman are big fans of each other, it turns out. Now, they're starring alongside each other in the new Marvel series Secret Invasion. They talk to Sky News about the intrigue surrounding the show.
"I didn't get to work with him, but I went to work that day just to watch him work because I wanted to see it," Jackson says."I had to go meet him. I was like, 'I'm not doing anything with you, but I wanted to meet you so bad'."Jackson says he is a big fan of British star Martin Freeman. Pic: Gareth Gatrell/Disney+/Marvel
While Jackson has been playing Nick Fury in the Marvel franchise since he first appeared in a post-credits scene in 2008's Iron Man, Colman is a newcomer. However, she admits she has been keen to join the cinematic world, or MCU, for some time."After every Marvel release I phone my agent and say I want to be in a Marvel. I don't know if she had any say in it, but it eventually happened. So, yeah, I'm thrilled.
Secret Invasion is set in the present MCU as a group of shapeshifters attempt to take over Earth. Colman plays MI6 agent Sonya Falsworth, an old ally of Fury's - though it's not clear whose side she's really on."I'm a villainous hero, I think," she says."Well, I can't remember quite what happens and I've only seen the first two episodes, so maybe I'm not.""You're a villainous hero and totally, totally, totally gangster.
