Samuel L. Jackson signs nine picture deal

Well, half of that equation has been resolved.

Jackson has signed a deal with to appear in 9 Marvel movies as Nick Fury.



NINE! Damn... that is commitment. Of course, I think they sort of had to pony up because let's just take a look at one of the more recent iterations of Nick Fury.



Looks familiar, doesn't it? And let's not forget how bad this road could have gotten...



*shudder*
