CAPTAIN MARVEL Star Samuel L. Jackson Weighs In On Those NICK FURY Disney+ TV Series Rumors
Rumours are swirling about the Marvel TV shows coming to Disney+, and now Samuel L. Jackson has weighed in on those rumblings about Nick Fury receiving the spotlight in a series of his own. Check it out...
While we know that TV shows revolving around Loki, Scarlet Witch and The Vision, and Bucky and The Falcon are being developed for Disney+, there have also been rumours about spinoffs for characters like Nick Fury and Sif. Now, Captain Marvel star Samuel L. Jackson has weighed in on whether he knows anything about a project focusing on the former S.H.I.E.L.D. Director being in development.
"Oh, it’s gotta be true then!" the actor exclaimed when told about the online rumours. As for whether or not he's been told anything about a Nick Fury TV show, he added: "Nobody’s asked me yet, but we’ll see."
That's not a great surprise as the rumour didn't come from the most reliable of sources in the first place, and while it would definitely be a lot of fun to spend more time with Fury (filling in some gaps in his past in the process), it doesn't feel particularly essential. However, should Marvel choose to do that show, there could be a lot of potential there.
As for his role in Avengers: Endgame, all Jackson would say is, "I don’t know anything about Avengers: Endgame." For now, it seems as if he's sticking to the story that he won't appear in the ensemble.
