Samuel L. Jackson recently took to Instagram, teasing his fans with a series of photos to mark his return to Nick Fury. The first photo shows off the facial hair prosthetics that he will have to wear. This post showcases Jackson subtly hinting at fans that when he does return, time has passed and aging is inevitable -even in the MCU.
The second photo that he posted was a selfie, wearing a t-shirt that represents Fury’s essence symbolically. The print and style of the t-shirt resembles a print at an art showcase. Jackson had a little scene at the very end ofAvengers: Infinity Warsthat fans would have perhaps missed if they hadn’t stayed for all the credits. The post-credit scene shows Fury utilizing a pager in order to make a very important call to Captain Marvel.
