Samuel L. Jackson has buried the hatchet with Marvel Entertainment, making a deal to play the role of Nick Fury in Iron Man 2, and potentially many other films.
Jackson’s deal is a long-term commitment to play Fury, the leader of the espionage unit S.H.I.E.L.D. His deal contains an option to play the character in nine future Marvel superhero films, efforts that are expected to include The First Avenger: Captain America, Thor, The Avengers, toplining a possible S.H.I.E.L.D. movie, and potential sequels.
Jackson introduced Fury in the closing moments of Iron Man, when the character asked Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark to join his group.

WOW! Nine possible titles?! That seems like a lot. That’s basically every movie on the table plus a sequel. That’s crazy. I can’t wait.

Sam’s the man, however he kinda looks like “Shaft had an eye accident. I always figured Kurt Russell (Snake Plissken) looked more like Nick Fury..
