Before the Marvel Studios came into existence, the character of Nick Fury was played by David Hasselhoff in the 1998 movie, Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. The movie was supposed to give way to a series but that didn’t happen. Although in 2002 Marvel Comics had recreated the character with Samuel L. Jackson in mind, the role was initially offered to Geroge Clooney who turned it down.

In the movie Captain Marvel (2019), set in 1995, Fury met the first superhero to ever come into existence. It was Brie Larson’s character, Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel that inspired Fury’s Avenger Initiative which led him to work on making a team of the world’s superheroes in the later-set MCU movies. It was also in this movie that Fury lost his left eye.

Earlier, Samuel L. Jackson admitted that Fury has a questionable code of ethics. This time around Fury has done something rather gross as revealed in the latest episode of the series Secret Invasion. He shared the details of Operation Harvest in which he went to Skrulls to “collect the DNA” of almost every Avenger after the Battle of Earth in Avengers: Endgame.

“Nearly every Avenger spilled blood in the Battle of Earth—even Carol Danvers. In the aftermath, some were sent in to collect that DNA. Some with the ability to blend in. Nobody knew about them but me and the collectors, led by [Gravik].”
