No Sam Jackson in Iron Man, Avengers?
Posted by Patrick Sauriol on Wednesday, January 14, 2009
No Samuel L. Jackson in Iron Man 2? No Jackson as Nick Fury? You've gotta be kidding, right? Not according to what the actor told The Los Angeles Times.
"I saw Jon Favreau at the Scream Awards and we had a conversation. He said, 'I hope things are working out for you because we're writing stuff for you.' Then all of a sudden last week I talked to my agents and manager and things aren't really working that well," the guy told the Times.
"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.'"
The Times put a call into Marvel Studios and their official comment was to not comment on "active negotiations" meaning that the door could still be open for Sam to reprise his role as the leader of SHIELD in Iron Man 2 and The Avengers movies. Could Sam be using The Times to help motivate Marvel to loosen their pursestrings?
