Marvel's Secret Invasion Dives Into Nick Fury's Secret Past

Nick Fury was introduced at the genesis of the MCU in 2008’s Iron Man, Fury (played iconically by Samuel L. Jackson, who had his imagery based on the Ultimate Marvel version of the character) was a major player in getting the Avengers together with what was called the Avengers Initiative.

Since then, he’s been a behind-the-scenes instructor, putting people together and pulling the strings across the MCU, eventually leaving Earth behind and befriending the alien Skrulls. However, we still don’t know much about Fury’s early days aside from what was shown and briefly talked about in Captain Marvel–that could all change with Secret Invasion.

Speaking with Total Film, series director Ali Selim and producer Jonathan Schwartz discussed how the new Disney+ series will take a deep pe into Fury’s background. It’s something that none of the film or television series have been able to do as of yet. Both creators wanted to take what Marvel did with Captain America: Winter Soldier and pile on that a level of grounded espionage in the mix with the sci-fi elements.

“The first conversations I had [with Marvel] were, ‘Nobody flies in the air in the show,'” Selim recalled (via GamesRadar). “I realized, ‘Yeah, they’re doing something very different, and that’s exciting.'”

“The Winter Soldier certainly gave us a lot of confidence that we could tell a story in that space that felt more like a paranoid thriller,” added Schwartz. “Secret Invasion takes that a step further, and you really get to dig into Nick. It becomes much more character-focused in a way that I really love.”

Secret Invasion arrives on Disney+ on June 21, with episodes airing weekly.
