Samuel investigated before having his agent reach out, but instead of being aggressive, they wanted to see what the plans were. Lo and behold, soon after ,Jackson was cast to play Nick Fury in the post-credit scenes of the first Iron Man film. Little did he know that role would span 10 years and peak with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame last year. Jackson also co-starred in Captain Marvel, which tied the two films together, and appeared in the most recent Marvel offering, Spiderman: Far From Home.
