When the Marvel Cinematic Universe cast Samuel Jackson as Nick Fury in Iron Man, this was in the context of Nick Fury being a white man created in the sixties, but another version of him in the Ultimate Universe<\/a> looking just like Samuel Jackson. And that was all fine. But as Nick Fury became more and more famous in the movies, it was more and more of a disconnect with the regular Marvel Comics titles. So Marvel decided to move Nick Fury into a different cosmic role in the Marvel Comics universe, and introduce a black son for Nick Fury, eventually see him take over his dad’s role in the Marvel Universe, running S.H.I.E.L.D. And looking a bit like Samuel Jackson.<\/p>\n
