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!
