Captain Marvel Trailer Breakdown: 15 Things You Need To See
11. Young Nick Fury
Marvel Studios
One of the biggest questions hanging over Captain Marvel until now was whether or not they'd be able to convincingly portray Nick Fury and Phil Coulson in their younger years. CGI trickery has been used to convey de-agings before, with the most notable examples being Jeff Bridges in TRON: Legacy and the digital recreation of Peter Cushing in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but both yielded mixed results.
However, what we saw of SLJ's young Fury was very convincing, with the character now sporting hair, some new makeup and - most importantly - both of his eyes.
He looks great, and considering the nineties was the decade where the actor's career really took off, it's doubly cool to see him return to that setting.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
