Samuel L. Jackson first appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2008's Iron Man. Nick Fury has been the force behind many of the MCU's biggest moments, such as forming The Avengers. In terms of on-screen appearances, Jackson has appeared in 10 Marvel films since Iron Man.
However, Fury's biggest role in the MCU is yet to come. The character will be front and center for the upcoming Disney+ series, Secret Invasion. Pulled from the critically-acclaimed comics line of the same name, Secret Invasion pits Fury against a group of renegade Skrulls. The Skrulls are a race of shape-shifting aliens who have recently begun to appear in MCU films. It was recently revealed in the post-credit scene of Spider-Man: Far From Home, that Fury has had a Skrull posing as him while he works off-world.
Why Hasn't Nick Fury Been To Wakanda?
However, despite the character getting a leading role in the MCU, one question still remains for Jackson. “I’m still trying to figure out why I’ve never been to Wakanda,” Jackson told Entertainment Tonight. “They didn’t ask me to go, but I’m still trying to get there. I need a ticket.” Wakanda, the hyper-advanced African nation and home of Black Panther, is one of the few places where Fury is yet to go. Logistically, it's likely because Black Panther never officially joined The Avengers before getting blipped during the events of Infinity War. However, practically, there's no reason why Fury hasn't been able to show up in Wakanda.
The sentiment comes alongside Jackson's desire to be in as many Marvel properties as possible. “I don’t know, it’s kind of up and down for me in an interesting sort of way. Because, if I had it my way, I would’ve been in every Marvel movie ’cause I mean he is Nick Fury, he knows everything that’s going on.” Aside from Secret Invasion, Fury will play a pivotal role in Marvels, the body-swapping Captain Marvel sequel coming out later this year. “After Secret Invasion, I'm moving on to The Marvels, where you get like three different people who are Captain Marvel. You get Brie. You get a black Marvel. You get a Muslim Marvel. They are working on the universe in a way that’s inclusive," Jackson said.
