Secret Invasion on Disney Plus starring Samuel L Jackson (out June 21st)

[Bigbigguy]

Nick Fury in a new Marvel series currently in development at Disney Plus, Variety has learned exclusively from sources.

The exact plot details of the show are being kept under wraps, but multiple sources say Jackson is attached to star with Kyle Bradstreet attached to write and executive produce. Like all the other Marvel shows at Disney Plus, Marvel Studios will produce.

Reps for Jackson, Bradstreet, and Disney did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment.

Jackson famously portrayed Fury, the monocular head of the clandestine government agency S.H.I.E.L.D, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe going back to the post-credits scene in the first “Iron Man” film in 2008. He has appeared in multiple films within the MCU since, most recently portraying Fury in “Spider-Man: Far from Home,” “Avengers: Endgame,” and “Captain Marvel.” He also played the character in two episodes of the ABC series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” SPOILER ALERT: The last time fans saw Fury was in the post-credits scene of “Far From Home,” where he was onboard a Skrull ship somewhere in deep space.

Should the project go to series — which seems highly likely — it would be the latest big budget Marvel show to get the greenlight at Disney Plus from Kevin Feige’s Marvel Studios. “WandaVision” is supposed to drop later this year, with “The Falcon and Winter Soldier” and “Loki” on deck for 2021. It was also recently reported that Tatiana Maslany is attached to star in the “She-Hulk” series in the works at the streamer. Other Marvel shows in the works include “Hawkeye,” “Moon Knight,” and “Ms. Marvel.”

Disney+ continues to stock up on these Marvel series . Whenever they are really able to get production on track and the ball rolling, they should be able to have one series follow the next, along with throwing Star Wars into the mix.

Nice!

But for real tho, Disney need to hurry the fukk up and put this content out already

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

It would be nice if they can have Nick fury and the Netflix marvel cast connect.

I doubt they bring in all those characters- the only one I can definitely see them bringing is Quake - since she is inhuman and they will start the storyline at some point

 

[AnonymityX1000]

Wow OK, looking forward to it.

 

[steadyrighteous]

fukk you right. Didn't realize he was in his early 70s already

Damn, he's already 71? I thought mid-60's, but he did get put on older than most.
