Samuel L. Jackson signed a nine-film contract with Marvel to portray Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[22] After the contract expired, Jackson continued to portray the character in Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home.[23] Additionally, Jackson reprises his role in guest appearances in two episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and reprises the role in the Disney+ series What If...? and Secret Invasion.[24][25][3] In August 2020, actor Jeff Ward revealed that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. series writer DJ Doyle had pitched a post-credits scene for the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. series finale that was not shot, that featured Ward's character Deke Shaw (introduced in the fifth season) sitting in a S.H.I.E.L.D. office in the alternate timeline he ends the series trapped in, serving as the organization's Director and wearing an eye patch. Ward added, since it was unclear if the alternate timeline's Nick Fury was still alive in the alternate timeline following the events of the seventh season, Deke would have worn it because it felt like "a power and cool thing", with Deke ultimately serving as a partial adaptation of the original version of the character.[26]
