Sam Jackson is No Longer Nick Fury
Samuel L. Jackson has apparently been stripped of his further involvement with Marvel as the character Nick Fury.
Samuel L. Jackson, clearly bristling, said today that negotiations to put him in the role of Nick Furyhave broken down because “there seems to be an economic crisis in the Marvel Comics world.”
Jackson told me today that despite his cameo as the hard-bitten military man at the end of “Iron Man,” it now appears that “somebody else will be Nick Fury or maybe Nick Fury won’t be in it” when it comes to “Iron Man 2,” “The First Avenger: Captain America” and “The Avengers,” the announced slate of Marvel Studios projects through 2011 that might have a natural spot for the character.
Samuel L. Jackson was perfect as this character for the brief post credits scene he has with Robert Downey Jr. at the end of Iron Man. It’s sad that Marvel keeps messing with the good casting so much.
