Okay. This is a pretty big tidbit, and as far as I can tell, this is an exclusive. I haven’t seen any mention of this anywhere online, but it’s exciting news, and I have to share it with you guys.
Right now, if I had to wager on whether or not IRON MAN was going to be one of next summer’s big films, I’d say it will be. It seems like Jon Favreau has done everything right so far, and I’m hearing really exciting things about the action sequences and the casting, and I’ve been sold on Robert Downey Jr. since the moment he was announced.

Today, though, he’s shooting scenes featuring an actor who is a set-up for a larger Marvel continuity, and it’s exciting because I’m hoping this character can start showing up in other films, and we’ll start seeing Marvel Studios creating a larger world, one that exists outside the frames of the individual movies. This is a major step towards making that AVENGERS movie we’ve been hearing about. So who’s the actor? Who’s the character?

Sam Jackson. Nick Fury.

Count on it.

AWESOME

it's looking pretty good for the comicbook adaptations next year: hulk, batman:tdk and iron man all have awesome casts.

how old is sam jackson?

the guy is pushing 60, yet he's going to be nick fury?

also, i the last superhero film i enjoyed was spiderman 2.

i will _never_ understand what was so awesome about batman begins.

Considering, as posted above, his the basis for the Ultimates iteration of Fury, this is life imitating art.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #6 on:** June 21, 2007, 02:56:40 PM »

I came into this thread thinking he'd be Jim Rhodes/War Machine.

He should make a pretty kick ass Nick Fury if the character is written well.

Terrence Howard was already attached to play War Machine.

I haven't followed the casting aside from Downey. Howard is PERFECT for Rhodey.

What is Fury's deal in the Ultimate Universe? Is he a veteran using the infinity formula or something like it to slow his aging?

$till LegendaryU2K · « **Reply #19 on:** June 21, 2007, 10:08:40 PM »

I LOLZ.

The best iron man thing is the toys and of course the awesome saturn version, period. The movie will suck, why?

I highly doubt they will keep his main suit, they might change it to something that looks hella lame.
