Marvel hasn’t cast the lead for the Nick Fury film but Sam Jackson has certainly expressed that he wants the role. He has even talked to Avi Arad in person about how much he wants to be the Ultimate Marvel’s Shield General.

“I see [Marvel movie producer] Avi Arad a lot, because we live in the same neighborhood,” Jackson said. “I express my interest in [working with him]. I always wanted to be Iron Man, because he was always like the rich dude who created this whole thing.” He’s not really kept as a superhero, he just creates stuff to make himself a superhero as a rich guy.” Although an “Iron Man” film is on Marvel’s fast-track, Jackson is doubtful that he’d ever be asked to play Tony Stark. The actor is, however, hopeful that Arad will listen to his pleas regarding another veteran Marvel hero with a film in development who was recently given a comic-book makeover to resemble none other than … Samuel L. Jackson! “Nick Fury would be great,” Jackson said of the hard-boiled S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. “I’ve been reading Nick Fury since when I was a kid. I collect comics. … I’m kind of geeky.”

Samuel L. Jackson staring as Ultimate Nick Fury would be perfect since Sam’s likeness was used for the character.
