Samuel L. Jackson, who had a small cameo as Nick Fury in this summer’s surprise hit “Iron Man,” is getting impatient.
Homeboy does not want to wait until Marvel’s “The Avengers,” which is not scheduled til 2011, to show up in a super-hero flick again. In an interview with MTV.com’s Slashpage at Comic-Con, Jackson said he has no intention of waiting and if he has his way, he’ll have cameos in “Iron Man 2,” “Thor” and “Captain America” and any other Marvel idea from now til eternity. What he wants may seem to mean jackshit, but Jackson did get into the Star Wars prequels by publicly stating in an interview he wanted in and George Lucas heard him (then again Jackson wanted an cameo in Indy 4 and that never happened). Either way he wants to make his character into something more and soon.
While discussing his wish to be given more room to explore his character in “Iron man 2,” Jackson gave us reason to believe that “Iron Man” director Jon Favreau situation may not be locked into the sequel as previously thought. “First of all, Jon’s doing another movie, so its not for sure if Jon’s going to do it yet.”
Hold the press, after all that shit we had to listen to about how Jon is signed on and ready to go, we find out that he is possibly doubled booked? What the shit, man!? Our guess is that if Marvel actually answers his calls and offers him the thing, he wouldn’t pass it up.
