news culture Marvel: This MCU star is actually a big fan of DC Comics! It’s treason
While gamers have battled over which Sony or Microsoft makes the best consoles for decades, comic book fans have their own similar battle between the Marvel stable and DC Comics. Recently, a key player in the MCU has emerged as a rival reader… Betrayal in sight?
The face of the Avengers would be a traitor?
Remember. Fifteen years ago, in 2008, Samuel L Jackson appeared in the post-credits scene of the first film iron man to announce the formation of the Avengers team. At the time, Disney had just bought Marvel and what is now called the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU for friends) was just a dream that we didn’t really think was feasible. But in 2010, Nick Fury
For many viewers, the American actor has since become inextricably linked to his role in the MCU, so much so that the character associated with the comics was eventually modified to be more like him. But despite that central role and the aura that binds the actor to the Marvel character, Samuel L. Jackson recently announced that he has never read a single comic from this stable. Worse, he confessed to growing up with the competing house: DC comics
To tell you the truth, I don’t even read Marvel comics… I watch them a little bit and when I saw my face in Nick Fury I saw myself and I was like, ‘What the hell am I doing on this cover? ‘ and that was it, I put the book down. But I’ve read DC comics my whole life. I mean we all grew up watching Superman, Batman, Aquaman.
In connection with the release of the next Secret Invasion series, such a statement would almost make you wonder if the real Samuel L. Jackson is actually sitting at the microphone of this podcast…
Secret invasion finally arrives
She was highly anticipated by Marvel fans (that is, not Samuel L. Jackson). The Secret Invasion series was finally revealed in a trailer on April 3 (see above). Probably from June 21st Disney+, the latter will focus on Nick Fury and his lifelong allies Mariah Hill and Everett Ross as they seek to root out the threat to Earth. While previously allied with Fury and Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel), The alien race, better known as the Skrulls, plans to take advantage of the chaos caused by Thanos’ finger snaps to invade planet Earth and replace some of its inhabitants.
Only, the most attentive will surely have discovered a small problem: If the show is doing well during the “blip,” then how can Nick Fury and Mariah Hill be alive? That’s the whole mystery that the series has to solve and that fits beautifully with the atmosphere, which is very inspired by spy movies that it wants to take on. We’ll just have to wait until June 21st to know the end of the story.
