Samuel L. Jackson NOT to Return as Nick Fury?
This would be a disaster. According to Hero Complex, negotiations between Marvel Studios and ol' Lazarus himself to reprise his role as the eye-patched superspy Nick Fury have broken down. Bristling at the question posed to him, SLJ responded:
"There was a huge kind of negotiation that broke down. I don't know. Maybe I won't be Nick Fury. Maybe somebody else will be Nick Fury or maybe Nick Fury won't be in it. There seems to be an economic crisis in the Marvel Comics world so [they're saying to me], 'We're not making that deal.'"
Marvel better get their shit straight. Marvel Studios is a relatively young company at this point, with only two official films under their belt. They have created a furvor amongst their fanbase and whether they like it or not, Jackson is a big part of the reason why. It would be in their best interest to stop the low balling tactics and give the man what he wants. You can not do the same to him that you did to Terence Howard and expect to come away unscathed. Get it together!
