Samuel L Jackson Signs on as Nick Fury for 9 Marvel Movies!

Holy Jesus. NINE movies? That's amazing!

Samuel really hit the jackpot on this one. Good for him. Unfortunetly his roles will not be THAT big...I think.

What? Where's the rest of this story? Did someone at Marvel wake up and go, "Ok, fine. Tell SLJ he can be Nick Fury" or did they continue to talk things through and work out an agreement. Cause the last story on this sounded like Marvel wasn't going to have Sam play Fury and that negotiations were through. Hopefully someone can shed some more light on this. But I'm really glad to see he'll continue on with his "self inspired" role. And to be cast for 9 movies? Damn that's a lot. Sean Connery didn't even play James Bond that many times, did he?

Yes! Glad to know he's staying

Once again, there was nothing to fear.

Watchmen coming out on time, Sammy is Fury, and now if we can just find out if Caine is or isn't coming back as our favorite butler. Opps I've said too much.

Hey why dont we get a white guy to play BLADE or a indian to play BATMAN!!!! Sweet my ass ,,, crap!

wow Leee777,if u dont having anything good to say just stfu! besides, ultimates was good and so does all the other avengers franchises for the most part!

Nine movies. God Damn!! DC comics better get on it. Marvel is about to leave'em in dust. Not that they havent already. Anyone know why Marvel spits out movies like that Octo-Chick spits out babies, and DC cant get a Superman sequel out within 10 yrs?

DAMMIT!!!! I don't want the ultimate Nick Fury!! Oh well, I guess he'll do...I just love the classic look though

joob234 kiss it mupp! ULTIMATES has nothing to do with the AVENGER UNIVERSE!!! saddo

sethasa! Damn straight! SLJ plays SLJ!! Only decent movie SAM's done is UNBREAKABLE!!!

umm two words..... HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!

Good news..lee777, the ultimates are some of the best versions of those characters! Fury, Pym and Cap America are all better, more well rounded characters in the ultimate universe..anyway they are only taking elements of it, this isnt based on any one particular graphic novel or storyline so they have license to get creative.

dxperry Marvel does indeed spit out movies like a trailer park but lets look at the quality shall we?

Good=Spidey 1 and 2....... Bad=Fantastic 4 1 and 2
Xmen 1 ...... Ghost Rider
X2 ........ ....... Punisher
Iron Man ........ ........ Punisher Warzone
Incredible Hulk .......... Elektra

i know there are more but that will sufice for my point..now lets look at the good DC movies:

Superman 1 and 2, Superman Returns, Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Begins, TDK, V for Vendetta, Constantine, Watchmen

So when you think about it, DC have released more Quality movies than Marvel!

Unbreakable, A Time To Kill, Pulp Fiction, The Incredibles, Black Snake Moan, Afro Samurai, BASIC, 1408, 187, Freedomland, Rules of Engagement, The Negotiator...THOSE are Sam's GOOD movies.

Now, I will agree with the sentiment that he doesn't do anything but play himself. That's a given. BUT, so does Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Morgan Freeman, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Christian Slater, Richard Dreyfuss, Bill Murray, Julia Roberts, Demi Moore, Halle Berry etc. They ALL play themselves in EVERY single movie they're in. Some of it's subtle, some of it's over the top, but it's ALL them. They're all A-List actors with massive amounts of money and many movies under their belts. I can see how that isn't so enjoyable, but each one of those I mentioned have made more than one or 2 movies that I thoroughly enjoyed.

So, don't shit on the guy because he does something that MOST people in Hollywood do. There really aren't that many actors who portray diverse roles well. That's why people are typecast and pidgeon-holed, because that's the way it works.

IonParallax your right he has done a few good movies!!! Just UNBREAKABLES in my top 10! I ain't shitting on SAM, just playing the wrong FURY that's all!

now I can sleep at night

I am take more to Classic Fury cause I grew up with him but Ultimate is good to, the only thing i care about is if he can play the part best. if they use Micheal Clark Duncan for Kingpin then I can see them using Samuel L. Jackson for Nick Fury. I like Sam, he has done alot of good characters in a alot of good movies.

@Rorschach
Your bias is showing. It's funny that you conveniently didn't list all the sucktastic movies that DC has pumped out. Since you failed to list them allow me:

Sucktastic DC Character movies:

Superman III
Superman IV
Batman Forever
Batman and Robin
Catwoman
Steel
Swamp Thing
Return of Swamp Thing

And I'll add Superman II to that list as well. I love that movie for Zod alone but come on man. Niagara Falls? The power loss chamber? Throwing the S? The mind wipe Superkiss?? You can't honestly defend that movie with a straight face can you? :)

And how can you say Watchmen is one of the "good" DC movies yet? Unless you've managed to score a sneak preview you haven't seen it yet:) I have faith that it will be great but I'll wait to pass judgment until I see it.

So when you think about it DC has put out a lot of sucktastic movies AND they've been doing it a lot longer than Marvel has:)

All I got 2 say is,HA LEEE777!!! aint no pissin and moanin from me!!!

ionparralax, u forgot unbreakable, SLJ was great in that movie...... also if they were to do classic nick fury, i could see george clooney! hahaha
