Samuel L. Jackson Confirms Return As Nick Fury; Will We See Him In SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME?
Samuel L. Jackson has taken to social media to confirm that he'll be making his return as the classic version of Nick Fury (albeit with a new beard, it seems) but what movie will he be appearing in?
Well, it looks like Nick Fury will be crossing paths with Spider-Man in the wall-crawler's sequel next year! As you can see below, Samuel L. Jackson has confirmed that he's in the UK - presumably at Leavesden Studios seeing as he's tagged his location as Watford - and that he's making his return as Nick Fury. However, it looks like the former S.H.I.E.L.D. Director will be rocking some facial hair.
In the Instagram slideshow, the actor shared a photo of a wig which definitely looks like a beard and quite a bit bigger than his normal goatee. Does that business card confirm that S.H.I.E.L.D. will return after Avengers 4, though? Possibly but the main talking point here is the fact that Fury is back and that he'll almost certainly appear in Spider-Man: Far From Home (which is shooting in the UK) next year.
It is, of course, possible that Fury is just there to shoot some additional scenes for Captain Marvel but that seems highly unlikely considering the fact production has only just ended and that it's far too soon for reshoots. Also, he'll be much younger in that movie as it's set in the 1990s. How do you think Fury will become involved with Spidey and Mysterio? Be sure to let us know your thoughts down below.
