A few weeks ago it was reported everywhere that Samuel L. Jackson was having ‘issues’ with Marvel Productions and was not going to return as Nick Fury in the Iron Man Sequel or The Avengers movie. Well, it was reported today that Marvel and Jackson have worked out their differences and Jackson has signed a 9 picture deal with Marvel and will Play Nick Fury in Iron Man 2.
The Character of Nick Fury is the leader of the espionage unit S.H.I.E.L.D. which features heavily in the Marvel comics universe. Jackson appeared as Nick Fury in the post credit sequence of the first Iron Man movie to tease us about a possible The Avengers movie.
This new deal with Marvel means that Jackson will most likely appear as Fury in the future, The Avengers, movie and many other Marvel franchises, including The First Avenger: Captain America, Thor and possibly top-lining a possible S.H.I.E.L.D. movie and potential sequels.
