Sam Jackson Not in Thor: This is only a bit of clearing up as I thought Samuel L. Jackson was reprising his role as Nick Fury in all of the Marvel based films surrounding the anticipated The Avengers film to be directed by Joss Whedon, but apparently that's not the case. Jackson was quoted in an interview saying, "I'm not in Thor. Supposed to do Captain America this summer in London." As far as why he's not in Thor, he adds, "I thought I was, they said I was in the trades and I was like, 'Ooh! I got a job!' I called my agent he said, 'Naw, you're not in it.' I was like, 'Well sh*t, they need to pay me if they're gonna put my name in it. Somethin'.'" Jackson will next be seen as Nick Fury in Iron Man 2 on May 7. [Latino Review]
