Samuel L. Jackson is playing a more 'vulnerable' version of Nick Fury in SecretInvasion.
It's been a long time since we saw Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury at the front and center of a Marvel project. Officially Marvel Studios' longest-serving on-screen character since 2008's Iron Man he hasn't been seen properly since 2019's Captain Marvel, having only made cameo appearances in the films that followed it.
Now, however, we welcome Fury back in Secret Invasion—but a Fury with a difference. Not only missing an eyepatch, we see Fury in a place of emotional distress and unsure of what his next move is—and unsure of who he can trust. Speaking at length to Vanity Fair, Jackson explained just how vulnerable a place we find Fury in, having spent a long time off-world trying to help the Skrulls while Talos held the fort on Earth for him .
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT As the man responsible for putting together the Avengers Initiative, it's only natural for him to feel some form of guilt, responsibility, and even regret over those he recruited having lost their lives trying to fix what happened when Thanos snapped half of humanity from existence in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame.
"Even Nick Fury can be shaken, you know? He's up there trying to process what the fuck happened, you know? And what his place in the world is. The death of Iron Man, the death of Black Widow, with that stuff going on he just kind of checked out. Now, he just doesn't wear the patch. The patch is part of who the strong Nick Fury was. It's part of his vulnerability now. You can look at it and see he's not this perfectly indestructible person. He doesn't feel like that guy.
