Avengers Movie Characters Move to Comics!

Movie fans know Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) as SHIELD operatives from previous Marvel films and the upcoming Avengers movie.

 Now Fury (Jr) and Coulson are in the Marvel Universe after Battle Scars #5 and now a terrorist threat will send the SHIELD agents into action in Scarlet Spider #5 on May 9th.

 “There’s a dirty nuke loose in Houston, and everybody from the Houston PD, the F.B.I., S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers get pulled in,” Battle Scars and Scarlet Spider writer Christopher Yost tells Marvel.com. “Fury and Coulson are the face of S.H.I.E.L.D. in this case, and Coulson actually runs point with Iron Man, Scarlet Spider’s the one on the ground.”

 “In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Coulson somewhat became the face of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” adds Yost. “So when S.H.I.E.L.D. shows up in the comics, Fury and Coulson can now serve that function.

“Fury’s not the director, not the head of S.H.I.E.L.D.—he’s an agent. He and Coulson aren’t going to be sitting in meetings; they’re going to be out there on big S.H.I.E.L.D. adventures.”

 

SHIELD Movie Would Be More Bond Than Superhero

  Samuel L. Jackson has played SHIELD Director Nick Fury in 5 Marvel films. Would movie-goers accept the mission to see a film based on the super spy and his team of operatives? The actor spoke with MTV News about the possibility.

  “I don’t know how much of S.H.I.E.L.D. [Marvel] want[s] to expose…I mean, we’re not superheroes. We’re more of a shadow world. So, it would be more like ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy‘ with good toys—closer to a ‘Bond’ movie than a superhero movie.”

  After a big ‘save the world’ plot in The Avengers would a SHIELD movie have the star and story power? I say YES! Fury, Black Widow, Hawkeye along with Cobie Smulders as SHIELD officer Maria Hill and Clark Gregg reprising his role as Agent Coulson – you have a great lineup. Secret War by Brian Michael Bendis, about Fury’s covert incursion into Latveria and it’s aftermath would be the basis for a thrilling spy story.

Nick Fury The Movie?

  “And you will KNOW my name is Nick Fury when I lay my vengeance on thee!”

  It’s a good bit and I stand by it – back to the story – one of my friends and followers emailed this IMDB link followed by “WHATTTTTTT!”

  Marvel has a full slate of movies post Avengers including Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 plus two untitled films – Captain America 2 is likely but is Nick Fury getting his own flick?

  The synopsis goes like this:

  “A daring amateur boxer from Hells Kitchen is recruited by the Army for some top-secret assignments. He soon is promoted to captain, where he puts together the First Attack Squad, a group of elite soldiers who carry out elite missions.”

 

  Samuel L. Jackson, Neal McDonough(Dum Dum Dugan) and Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson) are listed as rumored.

  How cool would a young Nick Fury and the formation of SHIELD movie be? Who could play a young Nick? And could you have feature one of his World War II missions with a Canadian paratrooper – last name Howlett (soon to be named WOLVERINE!)
