I hope something works out. I love Samuel L. Jackson. Samuel L. Jackson, clearly bristling, said today that negotiations to put him in the role of Nick Fury have broken down because "there seems to be an economic crisis in the Marvel Comics world." Jackson told me today that despite his cameo as the hard-bitten military man at the end of "Iron Man," it now appears that "somebody else will be Nick Fury or maybe Nick Fury won't be in it" when it comes to "Iron Man 2," "The First Avenger: Captain America" and "The Avengers," the announced slate of Marvel Studios projects through 2011 that might have a natural spot for the character. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomplex/2009/01/nick-fury-no-mo.html
I loved Terrance Howard in Iron Man ... I like Don Cheadle but I'd rather have continuity in the role. As for Jackson ... uh ... well ... the Ultimates version of the character was actually modeled after him. Not sure how you can have a Nick Fury in a Marvel movie without him. Unless you want to try Hasselhoff in the role again. Marvel needs to just buckle down and do what it takes to bring him on board.
Oh my god, I can't believe someone else knows about that. I thought I got "lucky" when I saw that garbage on tv randomly one night.
My gut feeling is they'll try to keep the character off screen for IM2 and hope everyone can play nice by the time the cameras roll for The Avengers.
you can't have the ultimate version of the Avengers with out Nick Fury,he basicallysets up the Avengers. and you can't do the ultimate fury without Sam Jackson, since the character was him.
Pretty much they're both good. But I would prefer some continuity in the role with actors so advantage Howard.
