Fury has come back to stem the Skrull invasion. The shapeshifting alien race was first seen in Captain Marvel, but as per the Secret Invasion comics, they infiltrate SHIELD and the US government. 

However, Samuel L Jackson’s character vows to give them a fight, saying “This is my war — alone”, and adds, “I’m the last person standing between them and what they really want”. Fury’s seen warning James Rhodes or War Machine, that his security detail might be compromised. Talos, a Skrull played by Ben Mendelsohn, tells that one-time SHIELD director, “Fury, we’ve got to be very careful now”.
