Samuel L Jackson is reportedly set to star in a new MCU series that is developing at Disney+, according to Variety, with Marvel Studios producing and Mr Robot writer and executive producer Kyle Bradstreet. Although not much has been revealed at the moment, this would be the latest of many MCU series in the works as Disney+.

The actor made his debut as Nick Fury all the way back at the beginning of the MCU with a post-credits sequence in Iron Man in 2008, and he has gone on to reprise his role another ten times on the big screen, despite an apparent death early in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Jackson also appeared on live-action TV as Nick Fury on two occasions back in the first season of Agents of SHIELD.

His first SHIELD appearance amounted to little more than a cameo, but his second was pivotal to the end of the Winter Soldier-adjacent first season and proved that Nick Fury can definitely work on the small screen as well as film. The actor's most recent MCU appearance came at the end of Spider-Man: Far from Home, in a shocking post-credits sequence.

If the show picks up after the Far From Home post-credits sequence, then some very big developments in the MCU may happen on television as opposed to film, as MCU fans might have expected after seeing Fury's return.

Although the project is apparently still developing, an MCU series with such a huge star attached seems bound to become a priority at Disney+. Assuming the Fury show does indeed happen, it will join the likes of WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Loki in featuring the stars from the MCU films reprising their roles for Disney+.
