The Nick Fury saga continues ...

I know it won't matter much once LEGO unveils Nick Fury's minifigure and set, but speculation is rife about the SHIELD boss.

Today the rumor would tend to include Nick Fury in the set 6873 Spiderman's ™ Doc Ock ™ Ambush which we do not know at the moment, except that it will be marketed in the summer of 2012. Yet LEGO had indicated that Spider-Man would be based on the character said classic and not on a film version of the character: … The LEGO SUPER HEROES Marvel collection will spotlight three Marvel franchises - Marvel's The Avengers movie, and X-Men and Spider-Man classic characters…

Everything starts from the trailer (visible here on YouTube) of the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series produced by Marvel Animation and which will be released in April 2012 on Disney XD.

And in this trailer we find this image of Nick Fury speaking to Spider-Man:

We know that Spider-Man is one of the New Avengers, a post team Avengers disassembled consisting of two of the former Avengers Captain America and Iron Man, and Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Wolverine, Luke Cage, Sentry, and Ronin. Spider-Man will remain a member of this same team after Civil War.

So is Nick Fury's presence in this animated series a clue to his presence in set 6873? I'll let you decide ...
