Samuel L Jackson to play Nick Fury in new series for Disney+

He first appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the post-credit scene of the first MCU film, Iron Man, in which he said he wants to discuss the Avengers Initiative.

Since then, Fury has been a mainstay in the MCU, often appearing in supporting roles. He was last seen in Spider-Man: Far From Home, in which he was revealed that he was upon a Skrull spaceship.

Sources tell Variety that screenwriter and producer Kyle Bradstreet, known for shows like Mr Robot, is attached to write and executive produce.

As is the case with other MCU shows on Disney+, Marvel Studios will produce.
