Secret Invasion: Samuel L Jackson Reveals Nick Fury’s New Look in Behind-the-Scenes Set Photos
Nick Fury has a distinct appearance in the new set photos from location filming on Marvel’s Secret Invasion, which feature Samuel L. Jackson.
The most recent television program to be recorded is an adaptation of the renowned comic book story arc titled “The Infiltration,” in which Earth’s Mightiest Heroes discover that the shapeshifting Skrulls have covertly invaded the planet.
However, the theater will be smaller in scale, removing the Avengers and replacing them with the former head of S.H.I.E.L.D himself instead.
Fury will be a bit different from when we last saw him. The Secret Invasion filming is currently taking place in Leeds, England, and these images from the set show actor Samuel L. Jackson with a shaggier, greyer beard than usual as well as a cap and casual civilian attire.

To date, Fury’s last (live-action) appearance was in the Spider-Man: Far From Home post-credits sequence, in which he was seen vacationing in space while leaving Ben Mendelsohn’s Talos to impersonate him on Earth.
Fury will be forced to leave retirement when the danger to the world is revealed, so it appears that Mendelsohn will co-lead Secret Invasion with Jackson. This may go a long way toward explaining his less-than-perfect appearance in these photos.
The Marvels, aka Captain Marvel 2, has already been shot and will bring back Carol Danvers (played by Brie Larson) to reconnect with her old buddy in the present day. It’s possible that the Secret Invasion premiere will act as a lead-in to WandaVision’s Teyonah Parris and Ms. Marvel Iman Vell
As for Secret Invasion, Jackson and Mendelsohn are joined by a terrific ensemble cast including Emilia Clarke, Olivia Colman, Christopher McDonald, and Kingsley Ben-Adir.
The series will arrive on Disney Plus sometime in late 2022 or early 2023.
About Samuel L. Jackson
Samuel L. Jackson was born on December 21, 1948, in Washington, D.C., to Elizabeth and Roy Leonard Jackson. His father worked as a postal worker and his mother was a homemaker. When Samuel was five years old, his parents divorced and he moved with his mother to Chattanooga, Tennessee. There, he began acting in plays at the local Boys & Girls Club.
In 1967, Jackson enlisted in the United States Army and served for three years before being honorably discharged in 1971. He then returned to Chattanooga and enrolled at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), where he studied drama. In 1972, he made his professional acting debut in the touring company of the Broadway play A Soldier’s Play .
Jackson moved to Los Angeles in 1976, where he found work as a stand-in stunt double for the handsome actor, Gregory Hines. Jackson’s big break came in 1977 when he played the role of Gator in The Longest Yard . He was noticed by director Quentin Tarantino and won several awards for his role as drug dealer Ordell Robbie in the 1997 crime thriller, “Jackie Brown.”
When not working on film and television projects, Jackson finds time to give back to his community. He is a long-time supporter of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and has helped fund college scholarship programs for students in Chattanooga. In 2012, he donated $100,000 to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga to establish a scholarship fund in his mother’s name.
Jackson and his wife, LaTanya Richardson, were married in 1980 and have one daughter, Zoe. He also has an adult son, Isaiah Washington Jackson, from a previous marriage. In 1993, Samuel L. Jackson was inducted into the prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame.
