Captain Marvel: 10 Reasons To Be Excited
3. 90s Nick Fury
Given how badass he was in every MCU property he's been in, seeing a pre-Phase One Nick Fury is something everyone's looking forward to. Samuel L. Jackson makes every movie he's in enjoyable, whether good or bad, and Marvel's earned enough goodwill for everyone to be assured of a good one, even a great one.
As much as fans love the self-assured Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who's always got one eye open, there's a lot of intrigue tied to the idea of a Nick Fury who's yet to settle into the role of Top Cop, who may still be new to the alien aspect of world security. Plus, a Nick Fury with two eyes will be... quite a sight. Especially if Samuel L. Jackson's comments about seeing "Nick Fury with another guy's face" is anything to go by.
Fans (and Jackson himself) missed Fury in Black Panther and the last few Marvel films besides, and it's about time the progenitor of the after-credits crossover of the MCU gets to come back to the spotlight. Even more so if his role in Captain Marvel somehow connects directly to Infinity War or Avengers 4.
