Jackson helps both materially and psychologically, when it comes to ensuring that Iron Man overcomes his traumas.

Short but intense, the appearance of Nick Fury and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) at the end of the film allows us to understand that the two agents are among the victims of Thanos’ “snap”. However, just before turning into dust, the veteran sends a distress signal to Captain Marvel (Brie Larson)… With the consequences that we know!

Captain Marvel

… And it is besides the latter that we find him, in the past this time, sincehe accompanies her during her transformation into a superheroine in the 90s. He himself begins as an agent of SHIELD, and attends the arrival of the Skrulls on Earth, extraterrestrial victims of the Kree Empire. Standing up for the oppressed alien people, he promises to help them find a new home in the galaxy. It is his inability to keep this commitment that should lead to the events of Secret Invasion.

Avengers: Endgame

Although he does not have an important place in the film, it should be noted however that Nick Fury appears at the end ofEndgamesince he attends the funeral of Tony Stark.

Spider-Man: Far From Home

Nick Fury has an important role in Spider-Man : Far From Home, largely because Peter Parker’s mentor, Iron Man, is no longer around. But beware, in the MCU as in the real world, appearances are deceptive. And for good reason, we discover that the spy and Maria Hill are actually Skrullsmore exactly Talos and Soren, characters from Captain Marvel allies of our heroes, having endorsed their identity. The former director of SHIELD is actually aboard a spaceship, along with other Skrulls, obviously trying to keep his promise to find them a new home.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

If it seems important to us to include this film in this list, it is becauseit reveals the extent of the political pressures at work in the MCU, and the power games of the governments, all determined to seize the Vibranium (and superpowers in general). CIA Special Agent Ross (Martin Freeman) is also making a comeback in anticipation of a supposedly important role in Secret Invasion. From what we know, he will learn of the existence of a massive conspiracy involving rebellious Skrulls infiltrated in high political positions around the world who seek to seize the Earth.
