How is it that Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury has been in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) since the very beginning, and never been the lead character in a single MCU movie or TV show?

There were plans for Michael Keaton’s Batman to serve in a NIck-Fury-esque sort of role within the DCEU, Batgirl was a major player, Supergirl was going to replace Superman, and more.
