Two Things You Need to Know About Iron Man Before You See It
Posted at 3:09 PM May 01, 2008
1) I had heard that long-rumored Sam Jackson as Nick Fury cameo had been cut from the final version of the movie, and it made me very sad, because I'm a huge Ultimates and Avengers fan. But now the word on the street is that all true believers should stay through the entire credits. Oh, for those who don't know, that's a pick of Nick Fury from the Ultimates comic, who is said to bear a small, tiny resemblance to Sam Jackson. Or so I'm told. Don't see it, myself.
2) IESB says that Iron Man 2 is pretty much a done deal, and Downey's trainer is going to start work on the actor next week for an assumed 2009 production date. Since we've seen about 45% of the first movie through the 300 clips and trailers, and it's all been awesome, I approve of this.

As long as Andre Ware doesn't do a voice over in a live-action scenario.....
Posted 05/01/2008 at 12:39:34 PMI am actually glad that they didn't put Nick Fury in it. Not to sound bad, but isn't Nick Fury WHITE? How did he become Black? Is the Marvel REBOOT version? Come on! it might be cool to have someone like Sam Jackson do Nick Fury, but not if Nick isn't bother. That's like having Will Smith be Ironman!

Posted 05/01/2008 at 01:14:43 PMWhat came first: Punisher Max #13-18 (Mother Russia) where Nick Fury is a hard drinking, smoking, F-ing every single whore in new york, not in charge of SHEILD, ass kicking white guy with an eye patch...or Ultimates?

Posted 05/01/2008 at 03:39:05 PMhave you seen the Nick Fury movie that came out in 1998 they don't want anyone getting that nick fury confused with this one. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119781/
Posted 05/01/2008 at 03:44:46 PMI, for one, liked the Ultimate Nick Fury a lot better than the 616 version. I'm glad the film producers agree. Now we can look forward to a genuinely good Nick Fury movie instead of more Hoff.
