Samuel L. Jackson Reflects on Marvel Contract and Nick Fury Role

The actor was initially shocked by the nine-picture deal but has enjoyed his long tenure as the iconic S.H.I.E.L.D. director.

Samuel L. Jackson was surprised by Marvel's offer of a nine-picture deal, questioning how long he would need to stay alive to fulfill it.
Jackson's first appearance as Nick Fury was an uncredited cameo in 2008's 'Iron Man,' with his official debut in 2010's 'Iron Man 2.'
He has since appeared in numerous Marvel films, including 'The Avengers,' 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' and 'Avengers: Endgame,' as well as the Disney+ series 'Secret Invasion.'
Despite initially being jaded about not winning an Oscar, Jackson values his happiness and prefers roles like Nick Fury and Mace Windu over 'statue-chasing' movies.
Jackson expressed a desire to have his character visit Wakanda, the fictional African nation in the Marvel Universe, a wish that has yet to be fulfilled.
