Samuel L. Jackson Teases The Possibility Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Returning To The Marvel Cinematic Universe
S.H.I.E.L.D. was disbanded in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) seems confident that we will see another incarnation of the agency in the MCU at some point.
Towards the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Steve Rogers decreed that S.H.I.E.L.D. needed to be taken down along with the HYDRA agents that had infiltrated it, and that's just what he and his super-pals did. Since then, Nick Fury has dropped in sporadically offer some advice, but we were led to believe that the former director was at least semi-retired from action, and whether or not we'd ever see S.H.I.E.L.D. reform and factor into the MCU again was up in the air.
During a new interview, Samuel L. Jackson was asked if Fury and co. would return to active duty, and the Academy Award-nominated actor seems fairly certain that it's going to happen at some point.
“Yeah! For sure, definitely. Why wouldn’t there be? There’s some way of fixing what they created, and hopefully somebody has that going on or Nick Fury is out there — wherever he is, probably hanging out with Jules and walking the world — figuring out what happened and how it got to that particular place. Maybe they’ll find out that all that was part of a ruse to get to something else also. That would be great. They’ll bring me back somehow, some way, for some reason. I mean, they didn’t have me around to referee the kids when they didn’t go to their rooms and got in this big old fight. We’ll see what happens.”
Of course, the characters from the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series are about to get back on the horse, but the movie universe doesn't seem to pay too much heed to what goes down on the small screen, so that probably doesn't mean a whole lot.
Whatever happens with his former comrades, it seems highly unlikely that Fury, at least, won't play some kind of role in Avengers: Infinity War. What do you guys think?
