Kirby and writer Stan Lee, Fury first appeared in Sgt. Fury
and his Howling Commandos No. 1 (May 1963), a World
War II combat series that portrayed the cigar-chomping
Fury as leader of an elite U.S. Army unit. In 1998, David

Marvel Comics designed their HELD
"Ultimate" version of the Skrulls
character Nick Fury after the United States Army
likeness of Samuel _L.
Jackson!5] However, Marvel [Nationality American
Studios initially discussed a
potential film role with George Clooney, who turned it down after
reviewing some of the comic book source material and finding Fury to
be too violent of a character.!61 According to the audio commentary of
Nackson at the 2018 San _the 2007 film Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, director Tim
Diego Comic-con Story said the script originally contained Nick Fury, but the role
eventually became that of General Hager (played by Andre Braugher),
as having Fury would have forced 2oth Century Fox to purchase the
rights to that character.{7]
In the mid-2000s, Kevin Feige realized that Marvel still owned the rights to the core characters,
which included Fury. Feige, a self-professed "fanboy", envisioned creating a shared universe just as
creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby had done with their comic books in the early 1960s.'8] In 2004,
David Maisel was hired as chief operating officer of Marvel Studios as he had a plan for the studio
to self-finance movies.'9! Marvel entered into a non-recourse debt structure with Merrill Lynch,
under which Marvel got $525 million to make a maximum of 10 movies based on the company's
properties over eight years, collateralized by certain movie rights to a total of 10 characters,
including Nick Fury.221
Jackson was then offered the role, initially signing a nine-film contract with Marvel to portray Nick
Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.) In 2019, Jackson confirmed that, while that year's
Captain Marvel marked the end of his nine-film contract with Marvel, he would continue to
portray Fury in future films.!'2) Jackson thereafter appeared in a cameo in Avengers: Endgame,
and ina substantial role in Spider-Man: Far From Home.
‘The MCU version of Nick Fury jettisoned a number of details from the original comic book
version. Aside from the original character having been white (a detail already changed in the
comies before the MCU came to fruition), the original comic book Nick Fury was a World War II
veteran who knew Captain America and led the Howling Commandos, and lost sight in his left eye
during a grenade attack in that war. In both the original comic book and the Ultimate Marvel
versions, Fury was able to remain active many decades after the war because he aged unnaturally
slowly due to regular doses of an Infinity Formula.“3! A popular character over a number of
decades, in 2011, Fury was ranked 33rd in IGN's "Top 100 Comic Book Heroes",!"4] and 32nd in
their list of "The Top 50 Avengers"."5] He has sometimes been considered an antihero.
Appearances
Fury is introduced in the post-credits scene of Iron Man (2008), meeting Tony Stark at his Malibu
home to discuss the Avengers Initiative. In Iron Man 2 (2010), Fury sends in Natasha
Romanoff to pose as an assistant to and assess Stark to see if he is worth recruiting for the
Initiative and helps Stark deal with his palladium illness and Ivan Vanko. At the end, he hires him
as a consultant for the Initiative.

In The Avengers (2012), Fury is present with Clint Barton
when Loki arrives on Earth to take the Tesseract to lead the
Chitauri invasion. After this, he, Phil Coulson, and Maria Hill
decide to start the Initiative. Fury brings Romanoff, Rogers,
Stark, Bruce Banner, Thor, and Barton together to form the
Avengers. Noting that he does more in The Avengers than in
any of the previous films, Jackson said, "You don't have to
wait until the end of the movie to see me". About the role,
Jackson said, "It's always good to play somebody [who] is a
positive in society as opposed to somebody who is a negative. .
. [tried to make him as honest to the story and as honest to
what real-life would seem." Jackson compared the character to
Ordell Robbie in Jackie Brown, calling him "a nice guy to

hang out with. You just don't want to cross him".7] Jackson —_at Euwards Air Force Base,
earned $4—6 million for the film./*8] California, April 20, 2018
In 2013 and 2014, Fury appeared in two episodes of the MCU
spinoff TV series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., "0-8-4" (2013) and "Beginning of the End” (2014). In "o-
8-4", Fury appears at the end to scold Coulson over damage caused to a S.H.LE.L.D. plane during
a fight, and expresses his doubts over the loyalty of Daisy Johnson. In June 2013, Jackson
expressed interest in appearing in the show as Fury,'9] which led to his cameo appearance at the
end of this episode.20 Executive producer Jeph Loeb said "There were obviously a number of
places that we thought Nick Fury would have a big impact on the show, but the more we talked
about it, [the more we wanted] to get him in very early, so that it would kind of christen the show,
legitimize it in its own way".2"] It was a challenge for the showrunners to keep Jacks
surprise due to "this age of tweets and spoilers".[221
In Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014),23! an attempt is made on Fury's life by Hydra,
which is revealed to have taken over S.H.LE.L.D. Fury fakes his death and, once Hydra's plan to
control the world is foiled with the help of Rogers, Romanoff, and Sam Wilson, heads to Eastern
Europe to hunt down the remaining Hydra cells. Regarding Fury's questionable code of ethics
displayed, Jackson said, "Almost everything that comes out of Nick Fury’s mouth is a lie in some
sense. He has to ask, is he even lying to himself, too? He has a very good idea of what's going on
but his paranoia keeps him from believing some of it."[24] Jackson added, "You see Nick Fury the
office guy, him going about the day-to-day work of S.H.LE.L.D. and the politics as opposed to that
other stuff. It's great to have him dealing with Captain America in terms of being able to speak to
him soldier to soldier and try to explain to him how the world has changed in another way while he
was frozen in time. Some of the people who used to be our enemies are now our allies—him trying
to figure out, 'Well, how do we trust those guys?’ or 'How do we trust the guys that you didn't trust
who don't trust you?’ And explaining to him that the black and white of good guys/bad guys has
now turned into this gray area."25! McFeely said, "Fury represents an obstacle for Steve in some
ways. They don't always agree on how S.H.LE.L.D. ought to be used."[26 The writers gave Fury a
more prominent role in The Winter Soldier, since within a plot featuring S.H.LE.L.D. being
dismantled, Fury would "take the brunt of it”. They also intended on depicting a character that had
so far been depicted as a self-assured, commanding man as vulnerable, to enhance the sense of
danger in the Hydra conspiracy.!271
Fury appears in the Agents of S.H.LE.L.D. season finale, "Beginning of the End”, which deals with
the aftermath of the events of Winter Soldier.(281
In Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Fury shows up on Barton's homestead to help and motivate the
team to formulate a plan to stop Ultron from destroying humanity. He and other former agents of
S.H.LE.L.D. use a helicarrier provided to them by Coulson in the final battle against Ultron. Later,
he helps get things running at the new Avengers Compound. Jackson described the role as a
cameo, saying, "I'm just kind of passing by there ... Because, it's another one of those ‘people who
tps fenwkpedia or wikiNck Fury_(Marvl_Cinematc_Urivrse) site9720/21, 4:49 AM Nick Fury (Marvel Cinematic Universe) - Wikipedia
have powers fighting people who have powers’. That's why I didn't get to New York in The
Avengers. There's not a lot I could do except shoot a gun."[29! In the post-credit scene for
‘Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Fury and Hill discuss the battle in Wakanda and Stark's current
status. When Fury begins disintegrating from the Blip, he uses a modified pager to send a distress
signal.
In Captain Marvel (2019), which is set in 1995, a younger Fury appears and he is still a low-level
bureaucrat.[3°] Fury appears without his signature eye patch.3"] Feige explained that Danvers
the first superhero that Fury has come across,|32! which sets him on a path to his role working with
heroes in later-set MCU films.23 Jackson described Fury at this point as a desk jockey, who has
not yet become cynical towards bureaucracy and who learns in the film that there are
superpowered beings who could help $.H.1E.L.D.'34] Towards the end, Fury loses sight in his left
eye after being scratched by the Flerken/cat Goose, and is inspired to create the Avengers Initiative
by Danvers’ example, naming the protocol after her old callsign.!35) Jackson added that trusting
Danvers plays a key role in his development, as they become "compatriots" throughout the
film,8) Jackson was digitally de-aged by 25 years, the first time Marvel has done this for an entire
film.137
In Avengers: Endgame (2019), a restored Fury appears at Stark's funeral.!38)
In Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019),!39] Fury takes a vacation in space on a Skrull spaceship,
having recruited Talos and Soren to replace him and Hill and give Stark's glasses to Peter Parker.
In August 2020, actor Jeff Ward revealed that Agents of S.H.LE.L.D series writer DJ Doyle had
pitched a post-credits scene for the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. series finale that was not shot, that
featured Ward's character Deke Shaw sitting in a S.H.LE.L.D. office in the alternate timeline he
ends the series trapped in, serving as the organization's Director and wearing an eye patch. Ward
added, since it was unclear if Nick Fury was still alive in the alternate timeline, Deke would have
worn it because it felt like "a power and cool thing", with Deke ultimately serving as a partial
adaptation of the original version of the character.[49]
Jackson has portrayed the character in two video game produets. Jackson reprised his role as Fury
in the 2010 video game adaptation of Iron Man 2, and again in the 2014 video game Disney
Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes and its 2015 sequel, Disney Infinity 3.0.{41l42]
Jackson reprised his voice-speaking role as Fury in the Disney+ animated series What If...?.[43]
Fury will return in the live action series Secret Invasion.{4)
Fictional character biography
Early developments
Nick Fury was born in Huntsville, Alabama in 1950. He joined the United States Army after
graduating from high school, eventually becoming a Colonel. He later left the army to join the
Central Intelligence Agency, where he served as a spy during the Cold War. He was eventually
recruited to the covert espionage agency S.H.LE.L.D.
In 1995, Kree Empire Starforee member Vers crash-lands in Los Angeles, drawing S.H.LE.L.D.
agents Fury and Phil Coulson to investigate. In an ensuing Skrull attack, Fury kills a Skrull
impersonating Coulson. Skrull commander Talos, disguised as Fury’s boss Keller, orders Fury to
work with Vers and keep tabs on her. Vers, escaping capture by the Skrull, uses memories they
have extracted to bring Fury to the Project Pegasus installation at a U.S. Air Force base. They
hitpsilen wikipedia orgiwikiNick_Fury_(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe) anasr207, 449 AM Nick Fury (Marvel Cinematic Universe) - Wikipedia
discover Vers was a pilot presumed to have died in 1989 while testing an experimental jet engine
designed by Dr. Wendy Lawson, whom Vers recognizes as a woman from her nightmares. After
Fury informs $.H.LE.L.D. of their location, a team led by Talos disguised as Keller arrives. Fury
discovers Talos's ruse and helps Vers escape in a cargo jet with Lawson's stowaway cat Goose. They
fly to Louisiana to meet former pilot Maria Rambeau, the last person to see Vers and Lawson alive.
Later, Danvers, Talos, Fury, and Rambeau locate Lawson's cloaked laboratory orbiting Earth,
where Lawson hid several Skrulls, including Talos's family, and the Tesseract, the power source of
Lawson's engine. Danvers is captured by Starforce, and in the subsequent battle, Fury retrieves
Goose, who is revealed to be an alien Flerken, Goose swallows the Tesseract and scratches Fury's
face, blinding his left eye. Danvers departs to help the Skrulls find a new homeworld, leaving Fury
a modified pager to contact her in an emergency. Meanwhile, Fury drafts an initiative to locate
heroes like Danvers, naming it after her Air Force call sign, "Avenger".
Later, Fury became the Deputy Chief of .H.LE.L.D.'s Bogot4 station, where he "proved his
leadership mettle" by engineering the rescue of hostages captured by Colombian rebels at the
country's embassy, including the daughter of then-S.H.LE.L.D. Director Alexander Pierce,
prompting Pierce to make him director of S.H.I.E.L.D., while Pierce joined the World Security
Council.[451
Assembling the Avengers
In 2010, Fury visits Tony Stark in his Malibu home and recruits him into the "Avengers Initiative".
Six months later in 2011, Fury approaches Stark at a diner, revealing that Stark's recently acquired
new assistant "Natalie Rushman" is S.H.1.E.L.D. Agent Natasha Romanoff and that his father
Howard was a $.H.LE.L.D. founder whom Fury knew personally. Fury explains that Vanko's father
Anton and Howard invented the arc reactor together, but when Anton tried to sell it, Howard had
him deported. Fury gives Stark some of his father's old material, enabling Stark to synthesize a
new element for his arc reactor that ends his palladium dependency. Later, Fury informs Stark
that because of his difficult personality, S.H.LE.L.D. intends to use him only as a consultant.
Shortly before the Battle of New York in 2012, Fury enlists Dr. Erik Selvig to study the Tesseract.
In New York City, he overseas the reintroduction of Steve Rogers into society. Fury is present with
his colleague and friend Maria Hill at the S.H.I-E.L.D. facility when Loki arrives to steal the
‘Tesseract and take control of Agent Clint Barton and Selvig, Fury calls in Romanoff, Stark, Rogers,
and Bruce Banner to fight Loki. Later, Fury uses Coulson's death to motivate the Avengers, now
including Thor to work as a team, leading to their stand against Loki and the invading Chitauri
army in New York City. When the World Security Council authorizes the nuclear bombing of the
city to defeat the invasion, Fury uses a rocket launcher to take out one of the two jets launching for
that mission, but is too late to stop the second, which fires a missile that is intercepted by Stark.
After Loki's defeat, Fury authorizes the use of alien technology to resurrect Coulson from death
and, in response to the invasion, convinces the Council that the world needs "a quantum surge in
threat analysis".
Fighting Hydra and Ultron
In 2014, he trains Rogers to be a S.H.LE.L.D agent and proposes Project Insight: three
S.H.LE.L.D. Helicarriers armed with spy satellite guided guns, designed to preemptively eliminate
threats. The Helicarriers are capable of continuous suborbital flight, due to new Repulsor engines
proposed by Stark, their guns can kill 1,000 targets per minute, and the satellites, launched from
the Lemurian Star, a S.H.LE.L.D. vessel, can read a target's DNA anywhere in the world. However,
when the project is a few weeks away from completion, Fury grows suspicious about Insight. He
hires an Algerian mercenary, Georges Batroe, to hijack the Star as cover to allow Romanoff onto
Ipsen whined. orgtwkiNick,Fury_(Mrvel_Cinemati Universe) sinesr207, 449 AM Nick Fury (Marvel Cinematic Universe) - Wikipedia
the ship with Rogers to retrieve data regarding Insight. Though Romanoff is successful, Fury is
unable to decrypt the data, increasing his suspicions and forcing him to convince Pierce to delay
the project. Shortly afterwards, an attempt is made on Fury's life by Hydra, which is revealed to
have taken over S.H.LLE.L.D. Fury is apparently killed by their most dangerous assassin, the
Winter Soldier, but he is revealed to have faked his death using Tetrodotoxin B, a drug designed by
Banner that was capable of slowing down the heart to 1 beat per minute. Rogers, Sam Wilson, and
Romanoff are taken by Hill to see him alive and in a hidden bunker. After it is revealed that Pierce
is working for Hydra, Fury reappears to override Hydra's control of S.H.LE.L.D.'s computer
systems, forcing Pierce to unlock $.H.LE.L.D's database so Romanoff can leak classified
information, exposing Hydra to the public. Fury reveals that although Pierce had deleted Fury's
retinal scan from the system, Fury had a backup scan of his destroyed other eye. He then tells
Rogers, Wilson, and Romanoff that he is to go into hiding in Europe to hunt down more Hydra
cells.
Once Hydra's plan to control the world is foiled, Fury appears to assist .H.LE.L.D. agents in the
aftermath of those events, rescuing agents Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons from drowning in the
ocean and providing Agent Coulson with the Destroyer gun to take out enemy soldiers, before they
confront John Garrett and Deathlok. In the aftermath, Coulson vaporizes Garrett and criticizes
Fury for using GH325 to revive him. Fury responds that he values Coulson as much as any
Avenger, because he represents the heart and moral center of S.H.LE.L.D., and declares Coulson
the new director of $.H.LE.L.D., tasking him with rebuilding the organization from scratch, and
equips him with a ‘toolbox’ containing useful data.
In 2015, Fury arrives at Barton's home to help and motivate Stark, Rogers, Romanoff, Banner, and
Barton to formulate a plan to stop Ultron. He, Hill, and other former agents of S.H.LE.L.D. use the
original helicarrier to help the Avengers in Sokovia during the final battle against Ultron. He later
oversees the Avengers transition into the new Avengers Compound. Phil Coulson subsequently
reveals to Gonzalez and his board that he and Fury had discovered that the original helicarrier
survived HYDRA's attack and repaired it as a failsafe in case of an emergency.
Aftermath of the Infinity War
In 2018, Fury and Hill travel in Atlanta discussing the Avengers’ whereabouts but after Hill
disintegrates, Fury uses a pager signalling Danvers, before he disintegrates as a victim of the Blip.
In 2023, Fury is restored to life and attends Stark's funeral, later appointing ‘Talos and Soren to
impersonate him and Hill while he takes a vacation in space on the Skrull spaceship.
In 2024, Talos tells Fury that "the kid" received Tony Stark's glasses and that people were asking
what happened to the Avengers. Fury, still in space, disconnects the call and asks where his shoes
are.
Alternate versions
Alternate variants of Fury appear in What If...? (2021).
«The first variant appears in the first episode, “What If... Captain Carter Were the First
Avenger?", with Clint Barton meeting Peggy Carter / Captain Carter after she arrives through a
portal with the Tesseract.
= The second variant appears in the third episode, "What I... the World Lost Its Mightiest
Heroes?", where, during recruitment for the Avengers Initiative, all of the candidates are
murdered one by one. Fury investigates these deaths until he realizes they're connected to his
decision to recruit Hope van Dyne into S.H.I.E.L.D.. Based on this knowledge, he teams up
with Loki and travels to San Francisco for a showdown against Hank Pym / Yellowjacket. After
hitpsilen wikipedia orgiwikiNick_Fury_(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe) enn29720/21, 4:49 AM Nick Fury (Marvel Cinematic Universe) - Wikipedia
they defeat Pym, Loki quickly becomes Earth's ruler, and Fury restarts recruitment for the
Avengers Initiative by finding Rogers’ shield and greeting Danvers.
Reception
In a generally positive review of The Avengers, Associated Press reviewer Christy Lemire wrote
that "[t]he no-nonsense Nick Fury (Samuel L.. Jackson), the head of S.H.LE.L.D.—which had been
entrusted with the safety of [the Tesseract]—springs into action to reacquire it by assembling a
dream team of superheroes and other sundry bad-asses with specialized skills’ [46] Reviewing The
Winter Soldier, Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter said that "from a dramatic point of
view, the greatest interest lies with Jackson and Redford, two great veterans whose presence lends
weight to the fantastical proceedings and whose characters take some interesting twists and turns
before it's all over".[47]
Fury was noted to have been "largely missing in Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe",
with both Jackson and fans of the franchise being "bummed that Fury was left out of Civil War
and Black Panther", though he later had a substantial role in Captain Marvel.48] Writing for
Variety, Owen Gleiberman said of the latter film that the "digitally de-aged Samuel L. Jackson" in
Captain Marvel was "done a surprising favor by the visual trickery. He seems different than usual
—lighter and perkier".{49)
