However, Kyle Bradstreet, best known for his work as a writer for Emmy-winning USA Network series Mr. Robot, is said to be the project’s writer and executive producer.

Samuel L. Jackson who has played the role of leader of the super-spy agency SHIELD aka Nick Fury in the MCU films is the gruff, one-eyed architect of the Avengers, the one who brought the superheroes together. We all first saw him in MCU in the post-credit scene of the film Iron Man which was released in 2008.
