Did Samuel L Jackson Request Marvel To Not Replace Him As Nick Fury In Their Films?

Samuel L Jackson made his debut in Marvel Cinematic Universe as the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D, Nick Fury, in 2008 film Iron Man. Starring Robert Downey Jr in the lead role, the former appeared in the end credits scene to discuss Avengers initiative with Tony Stark.

One cannot image Marvel films without Nick Fury in it. After all, along with Tom Hiddleston’s Loki, it was also him who brought together all our Avengers. But recently, there were reports that MCU is planning to replace Samuel L Jackson as Fury.

The reports stated that in its Phase 4, Marvel is planning to phase out S.H.I.E.L.D and Nick Fury and make way for Abigail Brand and S.W.O.R.D. As reported by WeGotThisCovered, Samuel L Jackson has requested MCU to not replace him in future films.

The actor said that he loves playing the role and hopes to stick a bit longer in the Marvel universe. Jackson apparently asked Marvel President Kevin Feige to keep him on board. However, Kevin wants to bring in new faces in their Phase 4 projects. Hence, he thinks that it is the right time for Samuel L Jackson to step away from playing his character.

If this happens, we wonder how the Avengers in the future films will assemble together if they have to face a deadly threat like Thanos. However, there is no confirmation yet on this news. So only time will tell if Samuel will be a part of Marvel films or not.
