THINK YOU KNOW Nick Fury? Think again. The character has been a consistent presence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe ever since sneaking into Iron Man’s home and discussing a certain initiative.
Yet despite his screen time across 11 movies, Fury remains an enigma, an international man of mystery with no known home. That’s about to change. Secret Invasion, Marvel’s six-part espionage series, puts the spotlight firmly on Samuel L Jackson’s tough-talking leader, offering a look at Fury’s world beyond the superheroes with which he normally surrounds himself.
“Sam Jackson would say we knew the working part of Nick Fury, but we never knew anything about his personal life,” Ali Selim, the series’ director, tells SFX. “We never knew what his demons were. We never knew what his home life secrets were. He was never vulnerable or broken in any way.
“[In this show] you find out things about Nick at home. You find out his fallibility. He goes so far as to apologise, cap in hand, and say ‘I’m sorry.’ It’s very much not Nick Fury. Sam was pretty amazing taking a character that he knew so intimately, and pivoting down deep into that character’s chest and heart.”

Making Alien - Jaws in Space - Forty-five years on from its original release, Alien continues to terrify. We dissect what arguably remains the most chilling instalment in the saga
The seven-strong crew of the commercial mining spacecraft the Nostromo seal their fate after reluctantly responding to a mysterious distress signal on a hostile planet. Here, a face-hugging alien from a derelict ship impregnates and later kills executive officer Kane (John Hurt) after its offspring is birthed onboard. After being unleashed, the fearsome newborn with acid for blood proceeds to dispatch the remainder of the crew.Ridley Scott's much more convoluted prequels have yet to reveal how the knowledge that led to this initial interception was acquired. However, the premise of the original Alien is perfect in its uncomplicated purity.
