Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury?

[CreepingDeath81]

Okay, so upcoming was a rather premature word selection. It's in the filming stages right now.

I was at a site that I think is called IMDB, might have a few letters jumbled/missing. I saw that there is a Captain America movie in the works, even though I'm more than likely not going to watch it because I was/am more into X-Men and X-Force and the like. I looked at the cast members, don't remember a whole lot, but one that I'm in the process of trying to forget is that Samuel L. Jackson is going to playing the role of Nick Fury.

I should probably put a disclaimer here before continuing. I am not even the least bit racist or prejudiced, and have no qualms with the existence of African-American actors and actresses.

Now, isn't it bad enough that Michael Clarke Duncan was cast to play the role of Kingpin in Daredevil, not they've got another actor who I can't stand (and there's a lot of actors that I can't stand *coughpaulwalkercough*) playing the role of another Marvel Comics character. This character BTW was a vanilla wafer in the comics and trading cards (both of which I collected during my youth), unless I've been color blind my whole life, that's how I remember it. Either that or the "vitamins" had a bit of some shroomness going on........

I think it's premature to say that he won't do a good job, his role as Fury in the Iron Man movies is minimal and doesn't leave space for character development or at least a memorable line; I would definitely wait to see how he pulls it off once he has more screen time... I don't have a problem with it because I think Samuel Jackson is so much fun to watch.

And also, I will wait until I watch the movie because last time I complained about the casting of a well-known actor to play a popular comic character, he blew my mind... heath ledger

I agree wit Mr.Metal here.

Also speaking of Samuel L. Jackson he's one of those actors that always play well.


So we'll see how this turns out.

I guess you don't know that the character of Ultimate Nick Fury was based specifically on Samuel L. Jackson's likeness? He was always meant to play him in movies, since the original Nick Fury character became Ultimate Nick Fury in 2001. Samuel L. Jackson is Ultimate Nick Fury.
