Samuel L. Jackson...IRON MAN 2...
Merrick here...
After Samuel L. Jackson's 'if you blink you'll miss it' appearance in IRON MAN, many fans asked an obvious question: would Sam even appear in IRON MAN sequels, or would we only see him again if THE AVENGERS movie happened.
IESB just round tabled with Jackson, who said Favreau had just spoken to him about the forthcoming sequel.
Favreau told Jackson that Nick Fury would have a much more prominent role in the second one.
..says THIS ARTICLE at IESB.
And, as IESB accurately notes, it wouldn't take much at all to make Jackson's role "more prominent" than it was in the first one.
Lest we forget what Sam's up against, here's the performance he must best in order to become the *real* Nick Fury:

Drunk The Hoff versus drunk The Jack would be quite a fight, I reckon. The Jack should watch the tape of The Hoff's defeat at the hands of that slippery, slippery burger for tactical tips.<p>Falling out of the bun appears to be key when facing The Hoff.

that clip only gave me one question. Was that German daughter banging her German daddy?
-
Huh.
-
Sam Jackson is just a mere mortal. The Hoff is like the Shat -- beyond cool.
-
Is it just me or was the Hoff totally awesome in that? Man I wish he'd gotten more parts in more movies. That's exactly the kind of superhero type acting so many actors suck at these days. Also a time when women in movies were hot not just hyped. Good luck SLJ, you'll need it.

I really don't think Nick Fury will translate well to the big screen, and here's the ironic/counter-intuitive reason why: Nick Fury is too much like a traditional action movie character. Fury, SHIELD, etc. It's pretty much the basic "Secret Government Spy Agency" story. To me, SHIELD was just a way for Marvel to get an action movie archetype we've seen a bajillion times before into their comic books. That's not a criticism as SHIELD is a big and great part of the Marvel Universe. But to then take a well-worn movie archetype that was simply (IMHO) recycled for the comic books, and then recycle it again onto the big screen will result in "merely" yet another spy/action movie, albeit one set in the Marvel Universe. I just don't see how to make a big-screen version of the archetype that's fresh and original. Fans have FINALLY been given the version of James Bond that we've been craving, thanks to Daniel Craig. It's asking too much for Nick Fury to compete with that. (Dislaimer time!) With respect, of course... That's just my humble opinion... Based on controlled laboratory experiments... Your mileage may vary...
-
After the credits roll, Sam the Man shows Tony Stark his security system ain't all that.
-
Makes me want to see it.
-
It's obvious that Ben Stiller's Mr. Furious is a direct copy The Hoff's fantastic performance. Ben - you should be ashamed!

Has Ult. Nick Fury ever said 'motherfucker" in the comics?
by blindambition238
Cause that would have been really... stupid.

Or Nick Fury.
-
YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT I SAY<P><P> Props to Jarados above for also remembering the one good thing that will ever come from Lakeview Terrace. Mind you, I haven't seen the movie but SLJ's "I'm the Police!" line is classic.
-
Sorry, needed that

Iron Man 2. This is going to be huge. Who would have thought that Iron Man would have pipped Indiana Jones at the Box office in the USA.
-
you think i wear this motherfuckin PATCH to be cool and shit, motherfuckers? i lost my motherfucking EYE in a GAT-DAMN battle back when yo DADDY was a fucking BABY watching JOHN FUCKING KENNEDY get his fuckin HEAD blown off. I've fought along side men while they exploded like waterballons and shit, i've lied to them and said everything was going to be fuckin okay while they died in a trench over the course of three day from an infected gut shot....so don't YOU comequestion ME and MY PATCH in MY FLOATING FORTRESS, MOtherfuckers, because you think you KNOW the FU-Ry, but I ain't even SHOWN you the fury i have to offer....<P>direct lines from the next flick, i guarantee.
-
As he appeared on the screen in Iron Man, I felt nothing except for the fact that his appearance suddenly made the film seem cheap!!! Why??? Because Sam Jackson will take any film now, quality doesn't matter, all that matters is the size of the paycheck. His name being associated with a film now means horrible things, where it once meant quality, and called to you to support it!!! He has delivered nothing but soft performances in his last dozen plus films, if you can even call them performances...and if you can even call them films, as they are awful??? <BR><BR>His career has now become a joke, as well as much of his acting, all by his own hand...the hand of greed and gluttony!!! And for a man who used to be one of the most respected actors in the business, if not the most respected actor, that is a mighty big fall to take, indeed!!!
-
well, maybe it is. everyone that directs him probably says- give us what you gave us as jules in pulp fiction'...and he can refuse to, but he doesn't. he could turn it down a notch or refuse a few of these blatant typecasts.
-
The Hoff should appear in a supporting role as one of the howling commandos, they didn't retcon those guys out of existence, did they? He could be kidnapped by the Mandarin's thugs, stripped down and forced to eat burgers on a dirty floor.
-
Iron Man wouldn't have sucked if the Hoff had been given the opportunity to save it.
-
Directed by Andy Dick.
-
I'm sure that if SLJ asks really nicely, the director gives him anything he wants.
-
Go out and rent The Red Violin, in which Samuel L. Jackson plays a violin expert contracted by an auction house to appraise a shipment of very rare violins, violas, and cellos that have recently been discovered in China. He doesn't drop the MF bomb once in the entire movie, the flick's about violins, and STILL he manages to come off as bad-ass. The look of disbelief that he gives this other expert when the other expert says that he'd like to disassemble a priceless violin to see how it was made is just priceless. It's like he says Muthafucka with his eyes!
-
In case you're curious about this gem from Sam Jackson's filography, here's the wiki entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Violin
-
interesting...although i'd probably have to prop my eyes open with tooth picks to stay awake all throughout...given your description this movie comes off as visual Ambien...i'd have to watch this mid-day...when i'm most awake and alert.
-
you know it's true.
-
Hell, include General Ross and Bruce Banner in a cameo also.
-
"I'm a mushroom cloud laying muthafucka, muthafucka! I'm supafly tnt! I'm the guns of the navarone!
-
They are only separated by the color of the skin. Their character performances are always the same. I will give Sam Jackson credit for The Red Violin. He really stepped away from himself in that one. The Hoff owns Nick Fury though!
-
guys a slut. He'll be in any and everything.<p> Oversaturation of the product<p> I'm really hoping to never see the guy again.<br> Ususally it's comedic actors that make my never want to see again list
-
priceless description, and correct,, i forgot about that one.
-
Don't blame it all on Hoff... screenplay by David S. Goyer.
-
I totally feel the same way.....yet I know years from now I'll be flipping though the dials and a movie with him will come on and a massive wave of nostalgia will come over me and I'll fall in love with him all over again.
-
That clip was awesome...and how about the near kiss--I thought they were gonna kiss. Those near kisses get me every time!
-
The only example needed of why sometimes casting against source material race is a good idea. Now, if they would only cast Mark Whalburg as Black Lightning... <---(joking, for the love of God, Joking!!!)

Bring on the Avengers. Branagh on Thor, Iron Man 2, and Captain America...let's lock and load mother fucker!!!
-
The version of the Avengers and specifically Nick Fury is partially based on the 'ULTIMATES' universe of Marvel comics. In that timeline or universe, Nick Fury is a black man and looks like Sam Jackson. The artists who drew that comic based his appearance on Sam Jackson so it's only natural he should play the part of this version of Nick Fury. D.Hasselhoff's version of Nick Fury is the classic version of the comic character, that version is not as realistically delivered in the comics as the Ultimate line of stories have managed to deliver with its version of superheroes and that's why they've not gone with it for the movie.
-
Hasselhoff IS Nick Fury
-
UM yeah...didn't need a whole "Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons" dissertation on the history of the Nick Fury Character. In "Marvel Apes" Captain America is a Gorilla. That doesn't mean he should be a gorilla in the movie. My comment was really just a knock at Hasselhoff... I know about the Ultimate version...but that version as well was created AGAINST the source material's character's race...thus still making my comment accurate. I meant against the original version of the character...I'm just not comic-nerdy enough to care about explaining that in detail.
-
Didn't they already do that when they cast Angelina Jolie as a female Nick Fury in SKY CAPTAIN? Once they knew they had Downey for Stark and Norton for Banner, they should have kept a certain level of class and thrown money at Clooney to be the classic Nick Fury. Sam Jackson was in fucking SNAKES ON A PLANE and JUMPER, for chrissakes. Lucas pulled the same shit with Mace Windu. "Hey, I'm making a new STAR WARS! Let's hire Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, and...Samuel L. Jackson..." Whop-wah...
-
I'm in the minority "No SLJ" camp. Gary Sinese. Viggo. Thanks for nothing Ultimates.
-
I have to actually agree with Ceejay that Jackson being the actual basis for at least one comic version of the character kinda exempts him from being "stunt casting." That' almost like saying casting John Malcovich in "Being John Malcovich" was stunt casting. While I agree Clooney would make decent "Classic" Fury, I have no problem with Jackson in the part.
-
I kind of hate that we're stuck with a Jackson Fury just because of the Ultimates, and just because Jackson is always available for everything and anything.
-
i have a modest comic collection and recently moved so i'm probably going to sell em at a local store friday. the ones i'm not going to sell are some ellison dream corridors, the newer version of Lost In Space, Horny Biker Sluts (truely over the top crazed stuff) and three issues of Steranko's Fury (yup, sez 12 cents on the cover so their not reprints). I might also keep some copies of Wally Wood's thunder agents but i haven't decided yet. I took a whole bunch of those old cinefantastique magazines to a Goodwill a few weeks ago before i realized: hmmm, i probably would have gotten money for those as well. damn!
-
Best movie line EVER
-
The Hoff just punched out Harry Maybourne from SG-1! WHAT THE FUCK, NICK FURY!
-
You laugh, but that film made a billion dollars in Germany.

What the fuck was spidey doing during the end ruck of Hulk? Having a wank? Two monsters tearing up New York would most definatly make my spidey-sense tingle....
-
Favreau is an idiot of Brian Bendis caliber for this revisionist bullshit shakeup. this film will suck more every time Jackson is on the screen. Bring back Terrence Howard for less money and a back-end deal.
-
give EFNY era Kurt Russell a Nick Fury haircut, and give him the role.
-
It was always just "What if we had Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury?", and written based on a stereotype of Jackson. So really, this is S.L.J. playing stereotypical S.L.J. in the role of Nick Fury. I'm sure he'll bring a lot to the role.

Ever since I heard his racist comments on the DEEP BLUE SEA DVD I have been laughing every time Samuel L. Jackson comes up. The man is a joke. He's got one act = acting mean & angry, preferably so he can drop his f-bombs or better yet mother-fucking bombs. The fact that he claims he's is the second baddest ass in the universe after Yoda in the Star Wars prequels shows how much this man believes in his own shit. Mace Windu? Fuckin' Jar Jar Binks had more purpose in the entire prequel trilogy than this wannabe-Jedi master. Bad motherfucka = that's what Samuel L. had inscribed on the bottom of his lightsaber handle. This man is a joke as an actor and he's and he's an offensive racist. Forget Mel Gibson Jew bashing - Samuel L. takes the cake for delivering the "black power" racist movement. You want to see a great African American actor who can act? Morgan Freeman. Sidney Poitier. Laurence Fishburne. Forest Whittaker. Not Samule L. Jackson. Jackson, like Will Smith comes from the school of attitude. That which means, I am a tough-bad-ass so don't mess with me. The entire movie SNAKES ON A PLANE is bar-none the worst big-budget studio picture ever made (and I love B-pictures!). Let's not forget Samuel L. is an ex-crack addict and did prison time and if I am not mistaken it's one of the reasons Scorsese cast him in GOODFELLAS. I don't know him personally, but if his fans love him it's because they wannabe a "bad-ass" like him and it has nothing at all to do with acting performance or talent.
-
but you guys know Goyer wrote that Shield Tv movie right? Further proof, he needs a strong director to weed out his good ideas from his bad ones. And Ive caught it on Scifi a few times. It looks crappy but it was kinda dumb fun.
-
actually kinda cool
-
Nah, look at Kurt Russell in "Stargate", just give him the eye patch.
-
Dunno if I missed it - I mean the fact that this whole thing is news to him. Dark Horizons says he knows nothing about any pay dispute. What gives?
-
I SAID SUPERHEROES MOTHERFUCKER! DOES HE MEET THEM?!
-
I SAID WORDS MOTHERFUCKER! DOES HE YELL THEM?!
-
I SAID PUSSY MOTHERFUCKER! DOES HE GET SOME?!
-
...this post just reminded me that I have the DVD sitting on my kitchen table. Haven't watched the movie - think I'll do so after MNF.
-
when i was getting iron man! it was awesome, HOFF is the man! i think this was supposed to be a pilot for a tv series though.
-
..the South Park of acting, beaten to DEATH and tired as a Clinton is horny joke. Enough of that asshole, holy jeebus aren't there ANY other actors out there but that douchebag? Give it a rest asshole, overexposed much?
-
I wonder how he'll fit into the story of the next one. Will he and Stark be seen recruiting for their Team. It might be cool to see them go head to head.
-
they should make him Taiwanese next.
-
He's in all those movies because he's awesome, and all the movies he's been in are more awesome because of him!
-
Don't make me angry man, you wouldn't like me when I'm muthafuckin angry..!

was Lisa Rhinna.Goddamn she was fiiinnee. Other than that, I could care less about "Drunken' Fury.(seen the video kids?)he could barely eat a hamburger,much less fire a pistol.You fanboys never cease to amaze me I tell ya.
-
Should he come out of retirement of course.
-
The whole Avengers movie concept needs to be set-up with subtle pointers and if Tony Stark is now a government hired gun based on the activities in the first film - what? One scrap in the middle east and getting his ass handed to him on a highway - its going to feel really thin. Now if he was just developing/building SHIELD tech that I might buy...
-
helping mad(ge). to get over Guy. Another recruit for Kaballox.
-
Remember when Tommy Lee Jones was showing up in EVERY SINGLE MOVIE BEING MADE? When he finally went balls out stupid and played two face, he was never to be seen or heard from again.<p> I predict a similar fate for mister Sam Jackson.
-
To those who rag on Samuel L. Jackson, you realize that he's starred in some of the highest grossing films of all time? Say what you will about him, but I find his work to be enjoyable. And Sam Jackson as Nick Fury could kick all kinds of ass.
-
it could be the start of an American James Bond style franchise....
-
Iron Man 2 could either be fantastic because of this, or diluted with Cheadleness. Depends on the script.
-
Poor guy. http://www.adambrooks.net/ironman.html
-
Albeit a very Samwise Gamgee 4 Frodo type-a Nick Fury. <p> Nick Fuck-in Fury motherfucker!
-
he spent a very long time without it, I'd guess. But he lost all credibility when he became the voice of the KFC commercials. Nobody can be that hard up. Maybe he just doesn't want to work forever, so is taking all the money he can while it's being offered.
-
So that Samuel L. Jackson can say the word, "mothafucka." :)
-
Has anybody seen the 3 design photos they have in Yahoo's article on Howard getting the boot? There are actual concept designs (property of Paramount) of what seems to be War Machine (in the article, they even mention that they are concept designs for him). Granted, 2 of them are similar to the Mark II suit. But the one with the shoulder cannon? Too much of a coincidence!!! Have they appeared before???
