Over the weekend,Samuel L. Jacksonteased his return as Nick Fury in the upcoming Marvel and Sony sequelSpider-Man: Far from Home. Now we get to see the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent back in action alongside Maria Hill, played by Cobie Smulders, in some set footage that leaked recently.
We don’t get to see much, but we do get to see Nick Fury and Maria Hill walk out of the shadows, emerging in tact. When we last saw the duo inInfinity War, the pair had been dusted by Thanos' snap heard around the world. Somehow, they have survived, and now they are back to help Peter Parker with his latest mission. Though, no further character or story details have been released to keep allAvengers 4secrets on lockdown.
Samuel L. Jackson andCobie Smuldersonly began shooting their roles in Spider-Man Far From Home this past weekend. Jackson shared a behind-the-scenes image of his iconic facial hair, teasing that he was ready to return to work. The actor has beenenjoying a lengthy European Vacationwith his wife, and it looks like he’s sticking around the area to complete his role in this next Marvel adventure.
Many suspect thatSpider-Man: Far From Homeis taking inspiration from the animated series Ultimate Spider-Man, which often teams Nick Fury and Peter Parker for adventures. Spider-Man is now an official member of The Avengers, knighted by Tony Stark in Infinity War, so it makes sense thatFury and Hillwould be keeping tabs on the kid, even as he enjoys a summer abroad with his science school classmates.
Nick Fury has a big year lined up in 2018. He’ll first be seen as his much younger self inCaptain Marvel, which will set up and explain the distress call we saw Samuel L. Jackson put in during the end credits ofInfinity War. Much has been made about the fact that the man will have two functioning eyeballs when we see him return in March. Following that movie, he will then show up inAvengers 4, though there is no word how he and Hill are being resurrected from the dusting. Then finally, Samuel L. Jackson will make his final appearance as Nick Fury inSpider-Man: Far From Homenext summer.
You can take a look at the video, which arrived from theMarvel Studios Redditearlier today. We also have some undercover photos that were snapped of the two actors as they get to work. This looks like a mission that only Fury and Hill can handle.
