Marvel Studios" Two Biggest Failures Share One Actor Who Helped Create The MCU

Summary

• Samuel L. Jackson's portrayal of Nick Fury is crucial to the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
• Both Secret Invasion and The Marvels have been disappointing projects for Jackson in 2023.
• Despite these setbacks, Jackson's iconic character, Nick Fury, is likely to make a comeback in future Marvel films.

One iconic Marvel actor who has been key in establishing the Marvel Cinematic Universe has now been involved in two of the franchise’s biggest failures. Samuel L. Jackson was first introduced to the MCU in Iron Man as Nick Fury, the director of SHIELD and founder of the Avengers. Considering that he was responsible for the franchise’s main hero group coming together, it’s safe to say that the MCU wouldn’t be what it is without Jackson’s portrayal of Fury. He has made plenty of MCU appearances since then, but the MCU’s 2023 projects were some of Jackson’s biggest yet.
Jackson was first involved in Secret Invasion, a Disney+ series that would be Fury’s first-ever solo project after over a decade in the MCU. He then played a supporting role in The Marvels, the sequel to Captain Marvel. Despite appearing in two Marvel projects this year, with one even specifically dedicated to him, Jackson’s 2023 MCU legacy unfortunately does not have a great track record. Though to no fault of Jackson’s own, Secret Invasion and The Marvels have been two of the MCU’s biggest failures so far.
