Samuel L. Jackson is one of the longest-tenured actors in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, serving as a consistent figure of the franchise ever since the Infinity Saga. The MCU veteran has portrayed Nick Fury in 11 different projects, from 2008's Iron Man all the way to 2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home . Two more projects will be added to his resume as he is set to make a comeback as the former SHIELD director in Secret Invasion and The Marvels .  Even though Jackson has played Fury for more than a decade, the actor is still passionate about the role, as evidenced by his exciting social media posts about Secret Invasion and the Brie Larson-led Captain Marvel sequel.

Marvel's history is littered with some of the biggest names in Hollywood thanks to the MCU, one of those being Samuel L. Jackson. Currently boasting the longest career of any MCU actor, Jackson has played SHIELD director Nick Fury since 2008's Iron Man . Now, the legendary actor is prepping for his next confirmed MCU appearance in Secret Invasion , and he's also confirmed for 2023's The Marvels .

Even though Marvel Studios is continuously adding new heroes to its roster, that doesn't mean the studio doesn't have plans for its veterans. In addition to OG Avenger Thor getting his fourth film this summer, Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury is confirmed for both the Captain Marvel sequel,  The Marvels , as well as  Secret Invasion  on Disney+. The last that audiences saw Jackson's Nick Fury was at the end of  Spider-Man: Far From Home , where it was revealed that the former SHIELD director was off-world. Meanwhile, Ben Mendelsohn's Talos, a Skrull from Captain Marvel , was seemingly filling in for him on Earth.  ADVERTISEMENT While Fury's reprisal in The Marvels is only appropriate given his role in 2019's  Captain Marvel , Disney+'s  Secret Invasion  is where fans expected to see the seasoned star the most. But now, it seems that Marvel Studios may have even more plans for Jackson in addition to  Captain Marvel 2 and hi...

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has expressed his feelings on what he sees as a bias against the genre, particularly with No Way Home making the kind of impact it's made over the past year.
