The producer of the film claims that viewers will witness Nick Fury’s more compassionate side in The Marvels. The Marvels producer Mary Livanos said in an interview that fans should expect to see a little lighter side to the former S.H.I.E.L.D. chief Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) than in his prior MCU appearances when they rejoin with Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) for the first time since Captain Marvel in 2019. Captain Marvel and Nick Fury complement each other so well because they bring out a brightness in Nick Fury that we really only got to see in the first Captain Marvel film, according to Livanos. It’s actually their connection that makes them both quite amusing. He’s amazing. He’s amazing.” Fury’s most recent Marvel Universe chapter, TheMarvels, takes place after the events of Secret Invasion on Disney+.The MCU miniseries examined how Fury’s obligations to the Skrulls and S.H.I.E.L.D. took a toll on his personal life, and the story’s gloomy tone furthered his growth.The creator of the miniseries, Ali Selim, hinted at how Fury’s newfound attitude may pave the way for his appearance in The Marvels as Secret Invasion concluded with Fury and his Skrull wife Priscilla returning to the S.A.B.E.R.ship.”I felt it was crucial for him to reach the understanding of his current position in the world and what he has to be to stay the new NickFury, as well as to give him a small feeling of closure. I’m stronger and capable of more now,” Selim said.

Fury’s personality shift was not just the invention of Marvel Studios’ creative team. In order to expand on Fury’s past in Secret Invasion, actor Jackson relied on his early experiences. Jackson also urged the creators of the miniseries to give Fury a more human face by having him become tired of the world following ‘The Blip’ from Avengers: Infinity War. Fury’s new life path in The Marvels was paved with his encounter with the past and the unfulfilled promises he made to the Skrulls. “Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, has exacted retribution on the Supreme Intelligence and recovered her identity from the despotic Kree. The Marvels summary states, “But unexpected consequences see Carol bearing the weight of a destabilised universe.” Her talents get intermingled with those of Jersey City superfan Kamala Khan, also known as Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece Captain Monica Rambeau, a S.A.B.E.R. astronaut, when her responsibilities take her to an anomalous portal connected to a Kree revolutionary. To preserve the universe as The Marvels, this odd three must come together and learn how to cooperate.”
