    Meh. Not a fan of Sam Jackson playing Sam Jackson playing Nick Fury. Wish they would have recast.

    That makes sense. Spend a minute in an end-credits segment and get signed to nine movies. He should be able to bust those out in less than two years right?

    The only well-known actor in all of Hollywood who would sign a 9-picture deal is Sam Jackson. If anyone disagrees with me, they are living under a rock.

    Didn't Downey sign a 6-picture deal? How would you feel about this being the norm for Marvel here on out?

    whatever happened to Edgar Wright's Ant-Man? is he doing that after Scott Pilgrim?...that's one of the only Marvel movies I actually care about at this point...

    Yea I think Jackson can pull it off. He plays the same roll in every movie hes in so Im sure hell do the same performance he always does.

    I would say that the final outcome of these films will hinge on the directors. Jackson can play Nick Fury, but can the people making the films use him properly? The hitch in the plan though could be one stinker out of the nine films being made, like dominos if one falls it could ruin the other films outcome.

    I've liked Samuel L. Jackson since his re-birth in Pulp Fiction. Sam Jackson can, I think, play anyone. The only problem seems to be he's playing everyone and I do mean that the way it sounds.

    Maybe a cameo since the story or script wasn't doing well.

    I dunno about you guys but I think thats a good news to me. Maybe we can re-negotiate the other actors to play the villains and other characters?

    I like Jackson but he's become one of the most over-exposed actors to date. He's done, what, 60 movies in the last three years? No? Sure feels like it...

    Knowing that there are going to be a possible 9 movies with Sam Jackson as Nick Fury... well, stuff like this keeps me from wanting to die. Damn, i hope I dont get me the cancer before these films are out!
