The ultimates (which are the new avengers) uses samuel jacksons likness for nick fury.Joe Brody said:I took the wife to see Iron Man tonight -- and sure enough I hear a group of guys railing against the Samuel L. Jackson casting pic. I think Marvel and Favreau made a mistake here.
I also think Favreau missed a real opportunity. Go back and watch the film. It turns out he and Marvel had the right guy to play Fury all along. Jeff Bridges as Obadiah Stane was a worthy bad guy -- but I submit he would have been a better Fury. Bridges is a big guy. He's weathered, talented -- and most important he has great comedic timing and ability. Cut Bridges hair short and give him some dark Five o'clock shadow and he's Fury. Heck, there's even a scene in Iron Man where's he's smoking a Stogey (sp?). Major, major missed opportunity.
