Will Samuel L. Jackson be back as the leader of S.H.E.I.L.D.? And if so, will it be longer then a line or two? IESB found out!
IESB attended the junket for Soul Men starring Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac in Beverly Hills.
There was a bittersweet sadness in the air with both Mac’s sudden death in August and co-star Isaac Hayes’ two days later.
IESB sat down at a roundtable interview with Sam Jackson and asked specifically about his role as Nick Fury in the Iron Man sequel (Even just to verify his return considering the abrupt replacement of Terrence Howard by Don Cheadle).
Jackson replied that as a matter of fact, Iron Man director Jon Favreau spoke to him at the Scream Awards last night, and Favreau told Jackson that Nick Fury would have a much more prominent role in the second one. Which honestly isn’t hard to accomplish considering he was relegated to the end of the film with a very short cameo.
Jackson also went on to say that he is looking forward to working with Don Cheadle who will be playing Jim Rhodes (and possibly War Machine) in the sequel .
