This is Nick Fury’s screen used hero Eye Patch from Joss Whedon’s 2012 ensemble superhero blockbuster, The Avengers. Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. assembles a team of superheroes to save the planet from Loki and his army; in response to the attack Fury reactivates the “Avengers Initiative”. The director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who was revealed in previous films to be coordinating the “Avengers Initiative”, Samuel L. Jackson was brought to the project with a deal containing an option to play the character in up to nine Marvel films. Jackson said he does more in The Avengers than in any of the previous films: “You don’t have to wait until the end of the movie to see me”. About the role, Jackson said, “It’s always good to play somebody is a positive in society as opposed to somebody who is a negative. I tried to make him as honest to the story and as honest to what real-life would seem.” Jackson compared the character to Ordell in Jackie Brown, calling him “a nice guy to hang out with. You just don’t want to cross him”.
