& # 39; Captain Marvel & # 39; is also (somehow) a prequel to Nick Fury

This is not quite Nick Fury's solo film that we claim, but Captain Marvel could be the next best thing. For the moment, anyway.

It is no secret that S.H.I.E.L.D. by Samuel L. Jackson The character of the agent appears in the movie. What Marvel fans should know is that it's not just another of his surprise post-credit cameos.

Jackson is a major character in Captain Marvel – To the point that, during our visit to the plateau last spring, producer Jonathan Schwartz described the film as a "two men" between Fury and Carol Danvers (played by Brie Larson).

Not only that, because Captain Marvel takes place in the 1990s, it will show us a version of Fury that we have never seen on screen: younger and greener, still able to be shocked by alien invasions and others.

Oh, and he still has two eyes. Although probably not very long, since Jackson teased, we would see "the origin of what happened to his eye".

Captain Marvel Fury "on the desk of S.H.E.L.D.", as Jackson says, and feeling a little jaded.

"It's a bit of a story of him who has reached a point in his career at S.H.I.E.L.D. where he is more or less disillusioned," explained Schwartz. "In the post-Cold War era, S. H.I.E.L.D. does not have much to do."

Until beings in outer space collapse from the sky. Although the fury we know of the Avengers films is almost unshakable, barely flashes frozen super-soldiers or literal gods, the fury of Captain Marvel never knew that extraterrestrials even existed, not to mention the fact that they might have an interest in the Earth.

So when Carol caught her attention, "she's just a crazy woman who broke into Blockbuster," Jackson said. "She tells me that she comes from a planet and that she's wearing strange clothes, and she says that there's a metamorphosed person who has infiltrated the Earth and we're watching her." like a normal person would look at someone who tells you something like that, like Yes indeed. "

Everyone must be familiar with the greatest Marvel universe, even Nick Fury.

Of course, Carol is right. Once Fury understands this, his view of the world has changed dramatically – and he has the emerging realization that these potential extraterrestrial invaders "pose a greater threat than anyone even knows, and that we have literally no defense against them, "Jackson said. Captain Marvel will show us how Jackson handled this impending disaster and how it shaped it for the future.

At least part of this trip will be undertaken with Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg), another fan favorite seen here in a cooler form. In Captain Marvelhe is such a new rookie that Fury hardly knows his name – far from the seasoned professional of Marvel and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

But we will get acquainted with Fury outside of his S.H.I.E.L.D. career, getting more details about his time at war, his spy experiences and even his life with his family. Among the revelations that Jackson could share? "Everyone calls him Fury, even his mother."

And everyone must be soothed in the larger universe of Marvel, even Fury. "Before coming to Tony Stark's house, saying: There is a big universe, you do not know it yet., someone must have told him that, "said Schwartz.
