Of course, the irony of Nick Fury not being involved in the Black Panther movie was not lost on Samuel L. Jackson — who subsequently pointed out how odd it was that one of Marvel’s only black heroes would not make an appearance in the MCU’s first film fronted by the first Black Marvel superhero.
It is also worth noting that Nick Fury is apparently not going to make an appearance in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther next year.
This seems like an odd omission, because Nick Fury is the type of grounded character who could fit seamlessly into this kind of story.
Leave it to Jackson to be that candid about an issue like this.
