Samuel L. Jackson Officially Reveals Nick Fury's Avengers: Doomsday & Secret Wars Return Status
Jackson said Marvel is saving Nick Fury for the next Avengers film after Doomsday, which opens with a cast that includes Robert Downey Jr. and Pedro Pascal.
- During a red carpet interview for The Beast yesterday, Samuel L. Jackson confirmed that Nick Fury will not appear in Avengers: Doomsday but will return in Avengers: Secret Wars, telling The Direct that Marvel informed him, 'You're not gonna be in this movie. You'll be in the next.'
- Jackson has anchored the MCU since his 2008 debut in Iron Man's post-credits scene, when he founded the Avengers Initiative; his nine-picture deal ended with Captain Marvel in 2019, though he continued portraying Fury through Spider-Man: Far From Home.
- When pressed for details, the actor admitted he has 'no idea' what the Secret Wars story entails, as Marvel has disclosed no information beyond his casting for the film scheduled for December 17, 2027, roughly four years after The Marvels.
- The announcement contradicts earlier speculation that Nick Fury would return in Avengers: Doomsday, which came after Jackson was absent from Marvel's official March 2025 cast reveal; Marvel Studios has yet to officially confirm his Secret Wars role.
- Directors Anthony and Joe Russo confirmed in June 2026 that Secret Wars marks their final MCU project as it concludes the Multiverse Saga, expected to reunite nearly all Marvel stars within the rumored Battleworld setting.
