Samuel L. Jackson teases Nick Fury’s new, older look in his MCU return, likely in The Marvels or Secret Invasion. Disney+ has allowed the MCU to expand in ways beyond the cinematic realm. So far, WandaVision, Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Loki have all streamed to tremendous success. With What If...? up to bat currently, Marvel also has a slew of new shows lined up for the next few years. One of them is an adaptation of the popular crossover storyline, Secret Invasion.

The series seems to be focusing on Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Talos (Ben Mendelsohn), who were last seen during the post-credits scene of Spider-Man: Far From Home. The series has assembled an impressive around these two, to say the least, with One Night in Miami's Kingsley Ben-Adir set to play a villainous role. The Crown's Olivia Colman and Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke will play supporting roles, along with Killian Scott, Christopher McDonald, and Carmen Ejogo reportedly starring as well. Now, the project may have taken another significant step forward.

Samuel L. Jackson teased the return of Nick Fury in a series of Instagram photos. One shows off the character's signature facial hair prosthetics, with a bit of grey in his beard indicating that he will look a little older when he returns this time around. Another is a selfie of Jackson wearing a t-shirt showing Fury holding the pager he used to contact Captain Marvel during Avengers: Infinity War's post-credits scene. Jackson also included the caption, "Guess what time it is! Back in the box, just in The Nick of time!" Check out the photos below:

Jackson's photo and caption strongly hint at him being on the set of a Marvel production, though he was careful not to reveal too much about his MCU return. He did not mention the project by name, but it can be assumed it is Secret Invasion for Disney+. Though his post hints more at Captain Marvel 2 because of his t-shirt, that role has not yet been confirmed for Jackson like Secret Invasion has, so he likely wouldn't be allowed to share anything on social media about it.

Assuming all this speculation is correct, Secret Invasion has started filming. This aligns with previous reports that the series will undergo production from the middle of this month to December and release sometime on Disney+ next year. That said, The Marvels is also currently filming, so perhaps the casts of the two projects crossover more than Marvel Studios is letting on.
