Samuel L. Jackson Confirms His Role in Iron Man 2

Source:  Comic Book Movie
For comic book fans, Samuel L. Jackson's cameo appearance as Nick Fury at the end of Iron Man was a huge treat. At a press junket for Soul Men Jackson told Comic Book Movie a bit about his role in Iron Man 2.

Jackson said:
As a matter of fact, Iron Man director Jon Favreau spoke to me at the Scream Awards last night, and told me that Nick Fury would have a much more prominent role in the second one (Iron Man 2).

Jackson also said that he was looking forward to working with Don Chealde on the film. Cheadle is replacing Terrence Howard in the role of Jim Rhodes, Tony Stark's friend, Air Force contact, and may become the superhero War Machine in Iron Man 2.

I still hate the fact that Howard isn't coming back and that he got screwed. But Cheadle is a great actor for his replacement.

I love Sam as Nick Fury. The Ultimate version of the Marvel universe is so much more bad ASS then the other cannon universe. Can't wait!!! Black Nick can totally take white Nick. It seems they're going the Ultimate universe route across the board. Interesting choice, should be pretty great, acktully.

Can't wait to see Iron Man 2, as well as Samuel coming back as Fury. I thought the first one is the best comic book movie today, Downey Jr was perfect.
