9 Great MCU Characters Who'll Never Get A Solo Movie
5. Nick Fury
Everybody and their mother loves Samuel L. Jackson, and he totally owns the character of Nick Fury. Fury is the badass who assembled The Avengers, and while he mostly acts as the mentor he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty too. Hell, he even survived some bullets to the chest in The Winter Soldier and walked it off like a minor cold.
He’s a great character and there’s still much we don’t know about him, but despite a wealth of great source material to draw from he’s unlikely to get his own movie. He has no superpowers to speak of, he’s played by an actor in his late sixties and it’s hard for an audience to view him outside of the mentor role.
If Marvel ends up exploring the character further it’s likely to on Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D than the big screen; the show could certainly use the boost.
