Avengers: Endgame Administrators Lastly Clarify The MCU’s Star Wars Paradox
The MCU started life in Iron Man as a mirror of our personal world. And, regardless of that includes world-ending alien armies, the existence of the Norse gods, precise magic and half of all dwelling issues being obliterated, in follow, day-to-day life within the MCU nonetheless resembles our personal.
This mirroring of actuality has introduced with it an odd paradox, although. If these films can present us, say, Star Wars throughout the MCU, what does it imply that Nick Fury’s performed by Samuel L Jackson, who performs Mace Windu within the Star Wars prequels?
The MCU spiraled even additional down the rabbit gap with a reference to the Kevin Smith movie Mallrats in Captain Marvel. If Mallrats is a film throughout the MCU, then Stan Lee exists as a comic book e book creator in-universe, which has huge cosmological implications. Is your head hurting but?
Fortunately, Avengers: Endgame administrators Anthony and Joe Russo, who could know the MCU higher than anybody, have now set the file straight, with the previous saying: “They simply seem like these characters,” earlier than Joe chimed in with: “Sure, Nick Fury simply occurs to seem like Samuel L. Jackson.”

The pair do concede that Fury’s life as a undercover agent tremendous spy was in all probability sophisticated by trying and sounding precisely like one among Hollywood’s most well-known actors. Nevertheless, on condition that no one ever errors one for the opposite within the films, he appears to have handled the issue.
That also leaves the head-scratcher of the place the ‘actual’ Stan Lee suits into the MCU, although. He can’t be the creator of Iron Man, Hulk and Spider-Man (amongst many others) within the franchise, so I believe the very best principle is just that Lee’s some type of extra-dimensional trickster God who can transfer by way of the universe at will, observing occasions from the background. A minimum of, that’s our tackle it.
