Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury will have a major role in Captain Marvel. The movie takes place in 1995, years before anything that has happened in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far. This gives fans a chance to dive deeper into one of the most prominent but also the most mysterious character in the franchise. Despite being in so many of the films, we have yet to be told how Nick Fury came to be. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Jackson revealed that the film will be exploring a lot about his origins, specifically how he lost his eye.
You’ll see, specifically, the origin of what happened to his eye. You’ll find out that he does have a family, that’s referenced. You don’t see them, but they are referenced in another way. There are things we talk about in his backstory that haven’t been talked about before — where he’s from, what he’s done. There are times when he actually, humanly reacts to things with fear and awe, instead of the stone face that he normally has, before he learns to control his emotions in another way.
Jackson revealed quite a bit here in this interview while also leaving a lot to our imagination. After popping in and out of so many Marvel movies and post-credit scenes, it’s exciting to know we’ll finally know the man behind the eye-patch.
Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, Captain Marvel stars Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, Lashana Lynch, Gemma Chan, Algenis Perez Soto, Rune Temte, McKenna Grace, Clark Gregg, and Jude Law.
Captain Marvel will be released in theaters on March 8, 2019.
