Nick Fury Getting His Own Disney Plus Series

Samuel L. Jackson is reportedly reprising his role as Marvel's Nick Fury in a Disney+ streaming series. According to Variety, Jackson is attached to star in the Nick Fury series with Kyle Bradstreet (Mr. Robot) serving as writer and executive producer. Reps for both Jackson and Bradstreet declined comment per the trade. Variety says it's "highly likely" that the Nick Fury show will indeed go to series, joining the ranks of WandaVision, Loki, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Hawkeye, and Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Jackson previously made a cameo as Nick Fury on Agents of SHIELD so this won't be his first time reprising his role for the small screen. While there's no word on plot details for the Nick Fury series or when exactly during the spymaster's long career it will be set, it seems possible that it could explore Fury's work alongside the Skrulls that was teased during the end credits scene of Spider-Man: Far From Home. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/07/02/spider-man-far-from-home-wtf-questions"] That scene revealed Fury to be working in a space station alongside the Srulls. As we reported in our breakdown of the end credits scene:

"This teaser strongly suggests SWORD will be making its MCU debut soon. Short for Sentient World Observation and Response Department, this sister agency to SHIELD is tasked with monitoring the cosmos and defending the planet from alien attacks. SWORD is traditionally staffed by a mixture of humans and friendly aliens, which makes the Skrulls perfect allies as Fury spearheads this major project."
