• Entertainment Weekly shared the first official photos
  from “Captain Marvel” on Wednesday.
• Among them was a look at a digitally de-aged Samuel L.
  Jackson, who plays a young Nick Fury in the 1990s-set
  movie.
• Jackson posted the photo to his Instagram and said,
  “Wow, this Marvel de-aging thing is doper than I
  thought!”

Entertainment Weekly revealed the first images from Marvel
Studios’ “Captain Marvel” on Wednesday. They feature the first
look at Brie Larson as the title character and of the
shape-shifting aliens called the Skrulls. But never to be
forgotten is Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, and the Fury we see
in “Captain Marvel” isn’t one were familiar with.

For starters, the Fury of “Captain Marvel’s” 1990s setting is
obviously younger, so Jackson was digitally de-aged for the role,
according to EW. He’s also
a “lowly S.H.I.E.L.D. desk jockey (who hasn’t yet met
any superheroes),” which is a far cry from his status within the
Marvel Cinematic Universe as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and
recruiter of the Avengers.

He also has two eyes still in the movie, and anyone
familiar with the MCU knows that Fury wears an eye patch over his
missing eye.

The movie is expected to reveal how Fury and Captain Marvel
meet. In the after-credits scene of “Avengers: Infinity War,”
Fury sends an alert to Captain Marvel before disappearing from
the Thanos snap. 

Jackson shared the photo on Instagram on Wednesday and
said, “Wow, this Marvel de-aging thing is doper than I
thought!”
