Why Nick Fury Would not Put on His Signature Eyepatch In Marvel’s Secret Invasion

The final time we noticed him in “Spider-Man: Far From Dwelling,” the true Nick Fury was chilling on a Skrull spaceship whereas his Skrull buddy Talos (Ben Mendelsohn) pretended to be him again on Earth. “He is up there making an attempt to course of what the f**okay occurred, ? And what his place on this planet is. The loss of life of Iron Man, the loss of life of Black Widow, with that stuff occurring he simply form of checked out,” Samuel L. Jackson defined.

Fury’s susceptible way of thinking is additional mirrored in his look, as “Secret Invasion” finds the character working with out his trademark eyepatch. It is not that the imaginative and prescient in his broken eye has been restored, both. The place “Captain Marvel” turned his blinded orb into one thing of a joke that poked enjoyable at Fury’s sense of pleasure (revealing that, opposite to rumors that he misplaced his eye doing one thing actually macho, the reality is he merely irritated an irritable Flerken disguised as an cute orange cat), “Secret Invasion” repurposes it as an emblem of his emotional trauma and uncertainty post-“Endgame.” This is how Jackson put it:

“He simply would not put on the patch. The patch is a part of who the robust Nick Fury was. It is a part of his vulnerability now. You may take a look at it and see he isn’t this completely indestructible individual. He would not really feel like that man.”

Between digging deeper into Fury as a personality (together with his shadier dealings previously) and a world conspiracy plotline that includes shape-shifting Skrulls making an attempt to quietly safe high-ranking positions of energy all over the world, “Secret Invasion” has the potential to be one of many extra compelling MCU entries this aspect of “Endgame.” We’ll see how the whole lot shakes out when the present premieres June 21, 2023, on Disney+.
