Samuel L. Jackson is a legendary actor who has been on the silver screen for decades . He has play an assassin , a cop who does n’t play by the rules , and a Jedi Master . InCaptain Marvel , he reprize his iconic role of Nick Fury , federal agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Screen Rant : Amazing problem on this film . I know that Nick Fury has seen some randomness * * * now . Because from the way he is inIron Man , and the way he is inCaptain Marvel , completely different characters . So I have a question . Where is he , at his life , when he ’s inCaptain Marvel ? What ’s his mindset ?
Samuel L. Jackson : Oh , a desk jockey . Kind of seat there wondering , “ I ’ve been in war , I ’ve been in the undercover agent game , I was doing stuff . Now I ’m sitting at a desk trying to count on out who the next person is . Where ’s the terror ? Is it the China ? Is it Russia ? ” The plot is tiresome . And all of a sudden , he ’s here , and he ’s throw into a secret plan changer . And you know , as a pig you hear a good deal of material . I ’m certain that ’s not the first individual he ’s encountered who told them they were from outer space . So , they ’d been abducted or whatever . And , you know , “ Chick , you look like me , come on , you ’re not an stranger . ” And then all of a sudden , “ Do something to let me know you ’re an foreign , ” and she ’s not . But there ’s something else doing something . It ’s like , “ Wow , what is that ? ” And then he see the real affair and it ’s kind of , “ Okay , it ’s green and it does n’t look like me . And the organs are very unlike . So , okay , this is genuine . There are people from somewhere else . ”
Screen Rant : I enjoy the fact that we get to see this side of Nick Fury as well . Because it ’s something that maybe I just belike never thought I would see , because he ’s just a little looser , a little happier . You acknowledge ?
Samuel L. Jackson : Well , yeah . He ’s not universe aweary and he ’s not as paranoid , as he is , that we know him to be . And he ’s not as manipulative . In his , “ People are keeping stuff away from us , but I know things they do n’t know too . ” So , that cow dung ’s not on his shoulder joint yet .
Screen Rant : Exactly . You ’re also reunited with Phil Coulson in this one . Phil Coulson ’s the new hombre in the squad , it seems like .
Samuel L. Jackson : Rookie .
Screen Rant : He ’s a rookie . Is that their form of like pal cop dynamic a little bit ?
Samuel L. Jackson : The beginning of it . He ’s that cat who was there when he made that find . You know , there are other hoi polloi out there . And they had that moment . I entail , there ’s a import there where , I mean , Coulson could have killed him . And there ’s something about his family relationship and them seeing each other that permit them make out that they have a bond that nobody else has in SHIELD .
Screen Rant : You ’ve always been a pretty big advocate of [ Brie Larson ] , especially with her link up the MCU . My motion to you is , as an actress , because I ’m excited to see her track the MCU just as much as anybody else . So , what do you think she brings to the table of the MCU ?
Samuel L. Jackson : There are a pile of– It ’s bad to say she has a quite a little of the qualities of Carol Danvers , because then it ’s like , “ Oh , well . That ’s just case cast . ” You know , she ’s a forthright individual , she ’s outspoken , she stands up for not just her own rights , but for the rights of cleaning woman and young girl all over the world , and this country especially . And she ’s not afraid to employ her weapons platform to advance their cause . And you have a woman here , in Captain Marvel , that does receive all these baron . But when she starts realizing who she was , she understands that she was a very strong charwoman in her own right , before any of that fall out . Once you begin getting to it and you go , “ Okay , I succeeded in a male dominant society as a fender , and not only did I do it , my best friend did . ” And they ’re so supportive of each other . When they see each other , and that present moment and when they have those conversations among each other about who they are and what they mean to each other . And her girl looking at them enounce , “ You guys are my role model , so you ask to do something special . So I have something to aim to . ” It ’s a whole unlike variety of tier of what happens in a superhero film and what it stand for to people that are going to idolize her in a way . Because we had some conversation about what take place when you link the MCU and you become a superhero . And what that means in terminal figure of fan following and all that other stuff . But now that I ’ve get a line the movie , I see now , you jazz , that the young lady friend and woman are going to put her on the wall . She ’s going to be something to draw a bead on to in a material - world kind of way , outside of the phantasy fashion of she ’s a superhero . She ’s an accomplished charwoman that did a lot of clobber before these other folks commence recount her , “ You are what you are because of what we apply you . ” And then when she agnise that , “ You did n’t give me anything . I already had this , I got knocked down ten times , I got up eleven . ”
Screen Rant : Well , I require to be Captain Marvel now . But thank you so much for your metre . awe-inspiring Book of Job .
