While the casting uncertainties continue to mount around certain Marvel Studios films, it seems they've locked in one actor for a very long haul. According to
The Hollywood Reporter, Samuel L. Jackson has inked an unprecedented nine-picture deal with Marvel Studios to portray Nick Fury.
Jackson, who was apparently at odds with the studio over his role just weeks ago, is now locked in to appear as Fury in
Iron Man 2,
Thor,
The First Avenger: Captain America,
The Avengers and those films' sequels.
The actor, who first appeared as the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Fury after the end credits of
Iron Man, is said to also possibly star in a S.H.I.E.L.D. feature that is in the works.

lakeview terrance was pretty sweet
i just got it on DVD
yeah i think it is cool that Fury is gunna make some sort of appearance in 9 different Marvel movies, it adds alot to the idea that they r in one universe.
side not i hope that the Avengers movie is basically Ultimates 2
My dream of watching my favorite Marvel charachter on screen sadly came as nightmare in the Fantastic Four movies: Doctor Doom. Very badly approached...
But the only reason why I want Spider-Man to be in it is because I'm a spidey fan (yes, I am cliche as to who my favorite marvel hero is), and I want to see his Avenger Suit made for him by Tony Stark. My whole life I've grown up with people going "Oh my God! The Symbiote is Spidey's coolest suit evar!" And I always respond, "Yes, it is cool, but have you seen the Avenger Suit?" And it never fails. They always ask, "What's that?"
So my primary objective to see Spider-Man in The Avengers is only for the purpose of pointing it out and say to those people, "See?! That's what I told you about! Now do you understand?!" LOLOLOLOL XD
I'm part of the generation who grew up watching Spider-Man and Friends (with Firestar and Iceman) on Saturday mornings. So I agree with LEO. Seeing Spider-Man involved somehow would be great.
Indeed, he is. But I love the tension between Nick Fury, Wolverine and Iron Man. It's bloody hilarious! XD
The delightful fact is, The Avengers will be the cherry on top. The ultimate movie to officially give glory to the Marvel Universe.
And I'm still sending my hopes to the heavens that Spider-Man will be in The Avengers, with his best suit of all time. Spider-Man's Avenger Suit. :-P
im already used to jackson as fury, i dont want to have to get used to someone else in that role.
