This is as bad as Jamie Foxx saying that Puff Daddy should play Bond.

Samuel L. Jackson Wants to Play Nick Fury
Source: MTV
August 17, 2006


MTV has posted some quotes from "Snakes on a Plane" star Samuel L. Jackson talking about wanting to star in a superhero movie, specifically Nick Fury:

"I see [Marvel movie producer] Avi Arad a lot, because we live in the same neighborhood," Jackson said. "I express my interest in [working with him]. I always wanted to be Iron Man, because he was always like the rich dude who created this whole thing." He's not really kept as a superhero, he just creates stuff to make himself a superhero as a rich guy." Although an "Iron Man" film is on Marvel's fast-track, Jackson is doubtful that he'd ever be asked to play Tony Stark. The actor is, however, hopeful that Arad will listen to his pleas regarding another veteran Marvel hero with a film in development who was recently given a comic-book makeover to resemble none other than ... Samuel L. Jackson! "Nick Fury would be great," Jackson said of the hard-boiled S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. "I've been reading Nick Fury since when I was a kid. I collect comics. ... I'm kind of geeky."

Nick Fury is being written by Andrew Marlowe ("Air Force One," "Hollow Man," "End of Days") and will be distributed by Paramount.
 
FYI - In the Marvel Ultimates Universe...Nick Fury is black.

Also, the artists/creators of Ultimate Avengers pretty much admitted that they based the new Nick Fury off of Samuel L. Jackson.

There was actually a pretty humorous exchange in one issue where the Avengers were talking about who would play them in a movie....

yeap iwas going to mention that. I didnt like the Fury in the ultimates universe. but Jackson would be a great Nick Fury
 
I think he'd be great. Hopefully this whole snakes on a plane thing doesn't ruin his career. And yes, as stated above, Nick Fury is now black for some reason. So its not quite as bad as p.diddy playing bond.
