With the star’s return as the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Jackson has brought some heat with the show as there have been some major strides in terms of the Phase 5 progression. This, unfortunately, also means that there have been some tragedies that will affect the entire cinematic universe in the long run, one of them being the death of a certain character.

As the newest phase of the MCU gets closer and closer to the end, the cinematic experience is getting that much more intense, which has all culminated in the latest Disney+ TV series Secret Invasion, headlined by the return of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. Therefore, with higher stakes on the line, the sacrifices that follow are just of an equal magnitude, if not more, and with the latest episode of the series, we saw that sacrifice of Talos, who was played by Ben Mendelsohn. And with the end of his character, the star expresses his feelings about his experience.

With the release of Marvel Studios’ Assembled: The Making of Secret Invasion, a documentary consisting of the idea and its execution that went behind the creation of the series, the Ready Player One star opened up about his tenure playing the Skurll aide of Nick Fury in the franchise for some time now. He said that while he was happy that he got the opportunity to become part of the MCU and also revealed that he would definitely miss being on the sets, and especially miss shooting scenes with Jackson. He said:

“I’m going to miss this one; I’m going to miss it a lot. I’m going to miss the degree to which this is in people’s hearts. I’m going to miss the people that a lot of the audience don’t see, who make up the real experience and what it is to do these things — people I work with every day. And I’m going to miss being on-set with Sam.”

Therefore, with a heartfelt message, the star leaves behind his memories and his major contributions to the MCU with his character.

With S.H.I.E.L.D. being out of action for a good chunk of time, Earth has been steadily invaded by alien species known as The Skrulls, who with the ability to shapeshift and mimic humans, secretly come to Earth in order to infiltrate them and take control of humanity from the inside. And in recent times, their activities have caught the attention of Nick Fury.

Therefore, with the help of his trusted soldiers as well as friends and acquaintances, the former director seeks to take out the threat before it manifests itself to such an extent that it starts affecting the daily lives of innocent human beings.
