It's a bird! It's a plane! It's ... mutha-effin' Samuel L. Jackson? According to the 57-year-old actor, one of the few things he has left to accomplish in Hollywood is to fulfill a lifelong desire to become a superhero (we guess voicing Frozone in "The Incredibles" doesn't count). He's now trying to find a script. "I see [Marvel movie producer] Avi Arad a lot, because we live in the same neighborhood," Jackson said. "I express my interest in [working with him]. I always wanted to be Iron Man, because he was always like the rich dude who created this whole thing." He's not really kept as a superhero, he just creates stuff to make himself a superhero as a rich guy." Although an "Iron Man" film is on Marvel's fast-track, Jackson is doubtful that he'd ever be asked to play Tony Stark. The actor is, however, hopeful that Arad will listen to his pleas regarding another veteran Marvel hero with a film in development who was recently given a comic-book makeover to resemble none other than ... Samuel L. Jackson! "Nick Fury would be great," Jackson said of the hard-boiled S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. "I've been reading Nick Fury since when I was a kid. I collect comics. ... I'm kind of geeky." ...

AG, sunjata and again good to have you back on the board Brah!Â
I can witness that a lot of movies w/ marvel charcters are going to be based on what's the current trend and popularity. EX: IM will be fighting in Aftgan instead of Vietnam and NF will be based on Ultimate world vs MU. As much as SLJ is the man as an actor and we know he is NF, for the sake of having a discussion and to be differnet, I gonna say my pick is MU NF. I can see MU NF character not in WWII, but have him white instead of Black. Believe me, SLJ can pulled it off. sounds like like a contridiction from my POV? Â
Not that well tailored. Many experienced/veteran C.I.A. members have quit under the Bush Administration. And America's intelligence groups don't even rank in the top three. That's bad in a field where 2nd place isn't good enough.
