Hes not in that place yet.
desk jockey with two eyes and zero extraterrestrial experience.
(The 69-year-old actor was digitally de-aged for the role.)
The Nick Fury we meet is sort of a bureaucrat in an interesting sort of way, he explains.
He hadnt become jaded or a slave to the cynicism that we normally see.
He has a greater sense of humor in this than anything Ive done before, Jackson says.
But it isnt until Fury meets the part-Kree, part-human hero Carol Danvers a.k.a.
Captain Marvel that he realizes the world might be a whole lot bigger than he originally thought.
(Rememberthe end-credits scene ofAvengers: Infinity War,when Fury paged Carol in his final moments?)
He [now] understands that there are these other things out there.
And trying to convince people above him is a difficult task because they havent seen it or experienced it.
Captain Marvelalso marks a reunion for Larson and Jackson.
The two starred in last yearsKong: Skull Islandand have become friends since then.
Shes got the strength of the character, he says.
Shes a pivotal figure in that.
