"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.
Jackson, who is a fanboy favorite after roles in three "Star Wars" films, "The Incredibles" and "Unbreakable," was actually used as the model for the Ultimate Marvel version of Fury, which took the white, grizzled, aging commando with salt-and-pepper hair and re-imagined him as a younger, bald African American. There were cheers in theaters at the end of "Iron Man," when Jackson appeared as Fury, but when I asked the actor about it today he shook his head."

@ lhj111
i completely agree with you. there have been plenty of films that jackson has been in that i completed admired, as well as his acting. as much as i hated watching the spirit in theaters, jackson definitely made it worthwhile.

Marvel's got a veritable dynasty of films on the way, and this could bode TERRIBLY for us as fans and new fans a like.
Samuel L. could get non-believers in theater seats for a while, drive up interest in comics and in comic films just by being in these movies so for the love of pete I hope he gets on the project.
