For how long? How long will Sam Jackson play Nick Fury in upcoming Marvel movies?
A lot.
Jackson just signed a deal with Marvel letting him reprise his role as Nick Fury in nine movies. This includes: "Iron Man 2," "Thor," "Captain America," and "The Avengers."
There is a possibility of a S.H.I.E.L.D. spin-off and Jackson will now have the rights to play Fury in that movie, as well as any other Marvel movies involving S.H.I.E.L.D., as well.
The actor made a surprise appearance in an after the credits scene in "Iron Man" asking Tony Stark to join his team, the Avengers. Now with all deal problems settled and "Iron Man 2" set to start filming in April, Jackson will become a major player in the Marvel movie universe just as Nick Fury does in the Marvel comic universe.
This is amazing news for fans of Marvel heroes and Sam Jackson. The linking up of the next couple Marvel movies to create one seamless universe will definitely be a hit at the box office and I will be sitting in theaters to see what happens next.
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
