Samuel L. Jackson Hinted That We Might Not See Him in Avengers: Endgame

Movie fans have been begging for information about the fate of all those beloved characters who were seemingly turned to dust by Thanos's (Josh Brolin) infamous snap at the end of 2018's Avengers: Infinity War. One important character who has garnered a lot of speculation in the wake of those events is Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson. Fury was last seen sending a distress signal to Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) at the end of Infinity War—perhaps indicating that she could be the key to finally defeating Thanos.

But in a new interview for the Happy Sad Confused Podcast, Jackson hinted that we won't see Nick Fury in the upcoming Avengers: Endgame. 

When asked if he read the entire script for the Avengers: Endgame, Jackson responded:

"Not Avengers: Endgame, no. I generally read the scripts I'm in. I don't just go to my part … I used to. Or I'll do it when somebody sends me a script and they say, 'We want you to do a cameo here,' I'll go look for what that cameo is, and depending upon what that cameo is, it may entice me to go back and read what happened before and what happens after."

While it's not a definite no that we won't see him in the fourth—and final—Avengers movie, we do know that Nick Fury is alive and well in Spider-Man: Far From Home, which is expected to take place just minutes after the events of Avengers: Endgame. 

While we'll have to wait until April 26th to find out whether or not the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent does indeed have an Endgame cameo, fans looking for their Fury fix can rest assured that he will most definitely be seen in Captain Marvel when it arrives in theaters on March 8 (and which Jackson may have already dropped a major spoiler about).
