Samuel L. Jackson Signs NINE Picture Deal With Marvel Studios!
Filed under: Film Flickers > Samuel L. Jackson
Samuel L. Jackson will be back to play the role of Nick Fury in Iron Man 2.
Woo hoo!
There was chatter that Sam wouldn't come back for the second edition.
Apparently, the suits at Marvel were initially cheaping out on the actor during IM2 talks, which understandably peeved the Jackson, taking into account that the first flick made $600 million.
Thankfully, things worked out for Sam in the end. In a big way!
In addition to IM2, Jackson was given a long-term commitment to play Fury in NINE other Marvel movies, including Captain America, Thor, The Avengers and The Shield.
Wowsers!

Zac Efron Proposes To That Girl: Silliest Rumor We've Heard All Week!!!!
snakes on a plane?
i just don't care
"Back?"
He wasn't in the first one, was he?
"Back?"
Did I see a different Iron Man than you?
wow, he must have a secret poon fetish or something. no other explanation as to why he would need all that money.
Re: Greg Johnson – You saw a different Iron Man than everyone else…
YES!
sam-you-elle,
what a guy
Good for him……………………
I will watch ANYTHING with Samuel L. Jackson in it — he's fab.
Who cares? He sucks!
Re: Sonas – He wasn't in that movie. I'm confused.
he ruled in pulp fiction
and he was great when he got munched by that shark in deep blue sea while making fun of his preacher speech in pulp fiction
the rest of his performances falls somewhere between these two
not much of an acting range (i'm excluding star wars, i dunno what that was)
Holy poop, I'm stoked!
He sucks. He over acts every role. Did u see him in The Spiirt! Horrible shit.
The coolest man on the planet
Sam J as Nick Fury is the oddest casting…
Here's hoping he doesn't suck
They are filming the entire The Avengers series into movies. Thats Captian America and his crew if anyone doesn't read comics…. aka prob everyone on this stupid website.
How is it odd casting for Nick Fury? Uh read a comic?
Talking about Comic book movies, KICK-ASS IS GOING TO BE THEE BEST COMIC BOOK MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!!! I have my fingers crossed for watchmen but its gonna end up being nothing compared to what alan moore puts on paper.
Good for him!
PLEASE. hiring him is like hiring Nick Cage for a movie. They're not attractive, but they've been around for a million years and they're every studios fail safe actor. The movie might not be a hit, but they've filled the part w/ a human body. Even for the 2 minutes he was on screen for Iron Man, I couldn't stand it. Nice way to ruin a movie studio. And yes his last "hit" was Snakes on a plane. Lord save us.
THANK GOD he was the person i was most looking foward too!
Re: Jeffisalwaysright –
.
fuck off
One fantasy character he might consider playing is Sambo, you know Sambo had quite a run in with that hungry tiger?
I just loved him when he was starring on Sanford and Son I always cracked up when he covered his heart and said Lizabeth I'm coming Home. He is a great actor?
Wow, he is a great actor though
Way to SCREW UP a good thing Marvel….leave it to them to oversaturate and screw up whatever success they have with IRON MAN.
DC knows what they are doing…A halt on anything comic book UNTIL Batman 3 is done! That and they had to dump a truckload of cash in Nolan's driveway.
Another good actor sells his soul. to garbage How sad.
Seriously…hollywood should not be so quick to forgive and forget Snakes on a plane; Sam's worst carreer move ever. If it wasn't for Robert and his scrumptiousness; I would find myself compelled to boycott Iron Man 2 altogether.
