As a seasoned gamer who’s spent countless hours navigating the vast Marvel Universe, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement at the prospect of Nick Fury joining The Fantastic Four: First Steps. If you remember, I was one of those fans who eagerly awaited the arrival of the First Family on the big screen back in 2015, only to be left disappointed. But now, with a fresh cast and rumors swirling about the return of Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury, it seems like Marvel might just be giving us the Fantastic Four story we’ve been longing for.

There’s talk that a cherished figure from the Marvel Cinematic Universe might reappear in the film “The Fantastic Four: First Footsteps“. It makes sense that he would be included in this upcoming Marvel production, and fans are bound to concur.

The original Marvel superhero squad, the Fantastic Four, is set to return to our screens with some fresh faces. Among them are Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Eben Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/Thing. It’s been almost a decade since the last Fantastic Four movie hit theaters, and the 2015 reboot didn’t fare well with audiences. Now, there’s a lot of anticipation for this upcoming superhero film. Additionally, whispers suggest that a popular character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe might show up in the new Fantastic Four film.

A source close to the production hints that Samuel L. Jackson’s character, Nick Fury, may be included in the upcoming film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. It remains undecided whether his role will be a brief cameo or a more substantial part. Regardless of the length of his screen time, it’s certain that Jackson’s involvement will impact the future of the franchise. Jackson has been a key figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Nick Fury, an American spy, former head of S.H.I.E.L.D., and founder of the Avengers. He first appeared in the MCU in the post-credit scenes of Iron Man (2008), where he visited Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in Malibu to discuss the Avengers Initiative. He reappeared in Iron Man 2 (2010), where he dispatched Natasha Romanoff, also known as Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), to evaluate Stark for potential recruitment into the Avengers.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Jackson Haze is a significant character. Following his debut in Iron Man, he reprised his role in numerous other Marvel films such as Thor (2011), Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), The Avengers (2012), Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Avengers: Endgame (2019). He made appearances in the post-credits scenes of Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) and The Marvels (2023). Furthermore, Jackson will lead the 2023 miniseries Secret Invasion, a TV show adapted from the 2008 Marvel Comics, in which Fury returns to Earth to collaborate with Talos (Ben Mendelsohn), aiming to thwart a Skrull intruder from infiltrating our planet.

As a diehard fan, I can’t help but notice that Nick Fury’s presence in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” carries immense weight. This is because he plays a pivotal role in the first family’s groundbreaking discovery. While observing them heroically saving citizens from a mishap on the Brooklyn Bridge, Fury alerted the U.S. President about their extraordinary abilities. The President then instructed him to monitor them closely. In an unexpected turn of events, he even shielded them from the menacing Victor von Doom, also known as Doctor Doom, and escorted them to the Vault for their safety. It’s intriguing that rumors suggest Robert Downey Jr.’s first appearance as Doctor Doom might be in “The Fantastic Four“. Given Jackson’s history with Marvel, it seems plausible that Fury would cross paths with Downey Jr.’s formidable character. However, until an official announcement from Marvel, we should take these reports about Jackson’s involvement in “The Fantastic Four” with a pinch of salt.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps will hit theaters on July 25, 2025.
