02.26.09 SAM JACKSON SIGNS NINE-FILM DEAL W MARVEL
Samuel L. Jackson has signed a nine-picture deal to play Nick Fury for Marvel. That’s right, nine. No one’s ever made more than two comic-book franchise movies in a row that were good, and only three in a row that had a consistent cast.
The actor, who just weeks ago was seemingly on the outs with the studio over reprising his role as Nick Fury, agent of spy outfit S.H.I.E.L.D., has signed an unprecedented nine-picture deal to play the character in a series of Marvel movies.
The movies include “Iron Man 2,” “Thor,” “Captain America,” “The Avengers” and its sequels. Also on the table is the possibility of toplining a “S.H.I.E.L.D.” movie, which is in development. [THR]
Hmm, so far I only count four movies and a maybe. Meanwhile, CHUD says the nine-picture deal has become a new contractual item Marvel pursues with its stars. Now, I know actors are kinda dumb and all, but it’s hard to imagine how they could’ve made this sound like a good deal. “Yes, well, see, instead of doing one or two movies for a relatively large amount, we’ll pay you much less per movie, BUT, you’ll be able to do much more work in order to get paid the same amount. So it all evens out in the end. Sound good?” I also wonder if a deal like this would’ve made Sam Jackson’s acting in The Spirit less over the top. “Yo, Sam, don’t burn yourself out, man, we got eight more of these to make.” “I LIKE 8 OF EVERYTHING, MUTHAF-CKA!” “Yo, are you still in character? What’d I just say?”

You forgot Nick Fury vs Jason vs Freddy vs Mr Moneybags.
Ah Sammy… someone just got themselves a new bitch. At least he has one character to play, although it would’ve been fun to see him filling ’support’ roles in every marvel franchise:
Black Archer
Black Bolt
Black Cat
Black Knight (Dane Whitman)
Black Knight (Sir Percy of Scandia)
Black Panther
Black Widow
Blacklash
In a parallel universe David Caruso has been signed to cameo as Meh Comic’s Sid Reasonable. He’s the maintenance guy at an onion pickling factory. Has a slight stutter, eczema and still lives with his mom. Watches tv a lot.
I only read this hoping that I’d finally find out what the hell the L stands for.
I think it stands for “Lots of fucking Marvel movies”. I could be wrong though…
Seriously though, I think Marvel just wants to lock this character down for as long as they’ll use it. I mean, who better to play a character named Fury than the angriest black man since Malcolm X?
He was talked down from 15.
Serious: Does the deal preclude him from signing on for a single picture with somebody else?
Not Serious: Anybody know how his pay breaks down in terms of dollars per “motherfuckers”?
Yahoo Serious: Still alive?
What kind of deal is Furry Capt. America getting?
…and seriously upsetting (and nsfw sort of)

Does that little girl have a furry Chyna clit?
Banner Pic: Someone’s taking Lent a little too seriously.
I’d still like to know when Nick Fury turned black
