Marvel To Debut The New Ultimate Nick Fury

Marvel debuts the new Ultimate Nick Fury in Ultimate Universe One Year In by Deniz Camp, Chris Condon, Jonas Scharf, and Alessandro Cappuccio.

In The Ultimates by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch, Hitch chose to draw the Ultimate Nick Fury as if he were Samuel Jackson. Even down to Mark Millar having him say that Samuel Jackson should play him in any movie based on The Ultimates. So when the Marvel Cinematic Universe drew heavily on the Ultimate titles, and knowing what a big comics fan he was, they cast Samuel Jackson as Nick Fury. There were a few people complaining about the racebending within, but this was fifteen years ago, and people didn't complain quite as much online as they do now. Also also, he was perfect. And, in time, the standard Marvel Universe version of Nick Fury looked more like the cinematic version, courtesy of Nick Fury's previously unknown kid taking over the role.

But now the Ultimate Universe has been literally rebooted by The Maker, giving us all new Ultimate versions of familiar characters. A middle-aged Spider-Man, married with kids. A young Tony Stark with his late father's business on his shoulders. Reed Richards as Doctor Doom. And Hulk as a Zen warrior.  And now it seems we are getting a new Ultimate Nick Fury. And it's possibly more of a jarring switch…

H.A.N.D is the secret police formed by The Maker to enforce his laws from The City of Latveria. And clearly, he has a role in Ultimate Nick Fury. Ultimate Universe One Year In by Deniz Camp, Chris Condon, Jonas Scharf, and Alessandro Cappuccio is published next week.
