Deadpool 3: 8 MCU Characters That Need To Appear

8. Nick Fury

Nick Fury has been one of the most consistent pieces throughout the first four Phases of the MCU. From the very first movie through to Spider-Man: Far From Home, and of course the upcoming Secret Invasion, Fury has seen it all.

Aside from working his way up to Director of SHIELD, it was his Avengers Initiative that helped save the world. He recruited the likes of Captains Marvel and America, Iron Man, Black Widow, and Hawkeye, and there’s no telling who else he could bring together in the future.

Realistically, there won’t be a massive presence from Nick Fury in Deadpool 3, but since the man was referenced by the Merc with the Mouth way back in his first movie, he simply has to appear as a cameo. How about a post-credit scene, the very same kind Wade made fun of in his own post-credit scene, in which Sam Jackson in a leather jacket tries to recruit Deadpool to the Avengers?

Just like when Colossus tried to make him an X-Man, the answer would have to be no, but aside from the obvious meta-joke, there is an opportunity for something even better here. As the first-ever R-rated MCU movie, this is the chance to finally let Samuel L. Jackson utter his most famous profanity as Nick Fury.
