Meet Nick Fury
Nick Fury directs S.H.I.E.L.D. in The Avengers and sets out to assemble a team when a global threat demands a response. This profile follows Samuel L. Jackson’s portrayal through the existing catalog, beginning with the early films where those connections take shape.
Official source · Disney+ ↗Listen for what he leaves unsaid
Fury’s conversations often matter as much as the immediate mission. Notice what he asks of another person, what information he offers and what he keeps back. That is a useful way to follow his role across films with very different leading characters without treating every brief appearance as a full chapter.

Where to start
Begin with Iron Man, continue with Iron Man 2, then use The Avengers guide for the first major team story. The early appearances vary in length. These links offer a release-order entry route rather than a claim that every Fury scene carries the same weight.
