    The actor finds out about his role in the upcoming film...the hard way


    No Caption Provided
    I admit that one of the coolest things about Samuel L. Jackson is the fact that the actor loves his comic books, which is one reason why I am so glad to have him on board for that 9 picture deal with Marvel. We reported that the actor had signed on to play Nick Fury in Iron Man II in as many as 9 additional Marvel movies back in February and speculated over what films, other than Iron Man, that the actor would appear in as the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent. Evidently, that would include Kenneth Branagh directed THOR, which is presently in production. At least according to the cast list, Jackson is set to appear in the upcoming Thor film, whether or not he knows it. In a recent interview, Jackson was asked about ' Thor,' he replied he had no idea he would be appearing in the upcoming film!
     
      
     

     "Nobody's told me anything," Jackson laughed when asked about the "Thor" role. "I was reading the trades last week and I saw the cast list. My name was in it, so maybe I am doing something that I don't know about and I'll hear about it soon."

    Can you imagine being signed on to work, but no one tells you? At least they wouldn't be able to yell at you for not coming in!

    "I don't know what's going on," he said. "Since Disney's bought the franchise, I have no idea what Marvel told them or even if my deal with Marvel is still valid."

    While I highly doubt that the Marvel/Disney deal had anything to do with the fact that no one told him he would be appearing in the upcoming THOR film, it is still relatively funny to find out about an upcoming role in the most roundabout way. The fact remains though, that while I disagree with Jackson as far as the Marvel/Disney stuff goes, I admit it is refreshing to see that the actor is aware of the deal. What do you guys think of Jackson's upcoming appearance in the 'Thor' movie? Are you like me, and hope he gets more screen time than what he received in those last few minutes of the first 'Iron Man'?

    The fact that someone hasn't told him yet probably just means that its going to be a very small role, probably one scene like in Iron Man. So they can shoot it at any time, just get him to come in a single day and shoot what they need whenever he's available. I was worried that he wasn't going to be in it when they mentioned that Agent Coulson was going to be in Thor. I thought the reason that Sam Jackson was signed up for 9 movies was that he was going to be the consistent factor in the Marvel movies so this is good.

    He was making fun so that you (reporters, journalists) would write something about "Sam doesn't even know about his films!"

    Is there a probability that he's hiding any information about his role?

    nah. Sam is always pretty straight forward about these things. if he was trying to hide something, he would have said that we know what we know, and he wouldnt add or subtract anything from that.
     
    i hope he just gets another quick appearance. I dont think i'd like him in the full story. But maybe him and Stark talking about the avenger initiative for a few minutes and how Thor factors into it...

    Quite possibly. The role could be so small he is on set for a day or just a few hours. Much in the same way Robert Downey Jr. was at the tail end of The Hulk.

    I think it'd be better if Hulk makes a cameo in Thor. Becuase then a pattern will ensue in cameos. 
     
    Nick Fury in Iron Man 
    Iron Man in Hulk 
    Hulk in Thor. 
     
    It's logical! But still, Nick Fury would be good in the film too.

    I agree with this statement. Hollywood actors are used to these types of questions and most of them know how to manipulate their answers so that they get more "time" on the boards. Right now we're helping Sam get his wish! Nicely done, Mr. Jackson... or shall we call you Nick from now on?
