The Marvel Universe does not live its own life. Its creators in almost every film indulge fans with Easter eggs, references and all sorts of localizations. One of them turned out to be very legendary.
It happened at the end of the movie “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” (from the Russian adaptation – The First Avenger). In the scene where Captain America, Falcon and Black Widow visit the grave of Nick Fury, the head of SHIELD, played by Samuel L. Jackson in the MCU. A passage from the Bible is written on the grave: “The way of the righteous … Ezekiel 25:17”
This is nothing more than a reference to the most famous role of Samuel L. Jackson – Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction. In one of the scenes, Jules said: “Have you read the bible? I remember one snippet that will come in handy. Ezekiel. Chapter 25 The path of the righteous is difficult, because selfish and tyrants from evil people hinder him. Blessed is that shepherd who, in the name of mercy and kindness, leads the weak through the valley of darkness. For it is he who truly cares for his neighbor and brings back the lost children. And I will execute great vengeance on them with fierce punishments, on those who plot to poison and harm my brothers. And you will know that my name is the Lord when my vengeance falls on you.”
Also, in other films, you may notice that Fury uses the same wallet as Winnfield. These coincidences have given fans of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) reason to believe that Nick Fury is Jules Winnfield, who changed his appearance.
There was, however, one problem. Pulp Fiction was released in 1994. And Fury’s first appearance in the MCU dates back to 1995, when he met Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel). But film fans, thanks to some items, such as a cereal box, found out that the action of Pulp Fiction takes place not in the 90s, but in the early 80s.
So the hero Jackson had enough time to change his personality and lead SHIELD.
So if you are rewatching Pulp Fiction, know that this picture could very well be a prequel to The Avengers.
