Samuel L. Jackson and Marvel Studios have agreed to a deal for him to star as Nick Fury in Iron Man 2 and other Marvel films.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, it's a nine-picture deal that would also include Thor, First Avenger: Captain America, The Avengers and a possible Nick Fury movie.

Jackson, 60, appeared as Fury in a short scene after the closing credits in Iron Man.

He was recently seen as The Octopus in The Spirit. His dozens of credits also include Mace Windu in four Star Wars films.

Iron Man 2 is expected to begin production in six or seven weeks.

Him, William H. Macey, Morgan Freeman, and (the little known, but often seen) Bruce McGill...no relation...I think.

Yeah, Sammy will take on any role for a paycheck. But, hey I guess he is doing what he loves.

Nick Fury is easily one of the lamest characters in Marvel, especially the non-Ultimate Fury.

Sure, but it's not like he's doing porn or anything.

Hey uh Cure, my response of Sammy willing to do anything for a paycheck was in response to him being the hardest working man in Hollywood. I also never said being Nick Fury was shameful but appearing in the giant roll of toilet paper known as "Lakeview Terrace" is proof enough that he is willing to take on any role for a paycheck.

^Actors do not always know how a movie will turn out or if it will be successful. Sometimes good actors make poor decisions about which movies to star in because they are trying new things and trying to expand their horizons and then the movie turns out to be a bombshell.

Big f*cking deal! I don't get why anyone ever brings that garbage up. "He's just doing it for a paycheck!" well...YEAH! No kidding! Don't we all do a lot of sh*t just for a paycheck? Just because some people make sh*tty movies, that means they're "less" of an actor? If I was an actor, I'd do WHATEVER to make a paycheck. You wouldn't act in a trash movie for a big fat stack of money? I sure as hell would.
