Breaking News: Samual Jackson as Fury x 9 movies!

[jye4ever]

From the website CHUD by their writer Devin Faraci:

A nine picture deal. Jesus H.

Yes, Samuel L. Jackson, who famously was on the verge of dropping out of Iron Man 2, has signed a nine picture deal with Marvel Entertainment to reprise the character of Nick Fury. The films include (possibly) Iron Man 2, Captain America, Thor, The Avengers and... SHIELD (or The Shield, as Michael Fleming at Variety has it incorrectly).

You've been used again, internets! Just like the Favreau/Marvel feud, this Sam L. backing out story was obviously leverage for a massive deal that will keep Jackson knee deep in comic book movies forever. That was a smart move - it's better to take a lower paycheck, and to take it nine times. That's economic security.

So... a SHIELD movie, huh? This one wasn't on the big Marvel list o' projects, so when might that film take shape? This Marvel Movieverse just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

It's a good sign for Marvel continuity over all of their films.

The Marvel Universe indeed.

 

[Agent0028]

Wonder what all they are planning on making.

 

[Havok]

Wow that's a hell of a movie deal right there. I'm really looking forward to seeing how all these Marvel movies turn out.

Have you never read the Ultimates?...

 

[Agent0028]

Have you never read the Ultimates?...

No kidding, that question is really getting old.

 

[Sachiel]

Yeah, in Ultimates Nick Fury was the Samual L Jackson Shaft with an eye patch.

I posted about this in the Iron Man 2 thread. It's not a 9 picture deal, it's an OPTION for 9 pictures after Iron Man 2. But it makes sense -
Iron Man 2 & 3
Captain America
Avengers 1 & 2
SHIELD 1 & 2
Hulk 2 maybe?

Perhaps they'll shoehorn him into Thor too.

 

[karamazov80]

He's no Louis Gossett Jr., but he's OK.
