Following the events of Spider-Man: Far From Home, it is clear that the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury, is up to something as he appeared on a presumed Skrull ship during the post-credits scene. While Samuel L. Jackson appears throughout the entirety of the film’s events, this version of Nick Fury was actually the Skrull Talos portrayed by Ben Mendelsohn. As first reported by Variety, the legendary actor will next reprise his role as Nick Fury in an upcoming Disney+ series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Per the initial report, details on the series remain scarce at this time. However, screenwriter Kyle Bradstreet (Mr. Robot) is on-board to write and executive produce the mysterious series. Moreover, Marvel Studios will produce the project for distribution on the Disney+ streaming service. The new series, perhaps following SH.I.E.L.D.’s space equivalent S.W.O.R.D., will join other MCU shows in the works at Disney+ like Loki, Ms. Marvel, and WandaVision.
