It is truly astounding to learn how the man who brought Nick Fury to life was taken aback by the rapid pace at which Marvel churned out their superhero films.

Samuel L. Jackson shared his initial thoughts upon signing a nine-film contract with Marvel, expressing surprise at the rapid production timeline of just over two years. As the charismatic Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he first appeared in 2008’s Iron Man opposite Robert Downey Jr., and subsequently reprised his role for eight additional projects, garnering praise for his outstanding performances throughout the series.

In a chat with GQ magazine, Samuel L. Jackson expressed surprise about the swift pace at which Marvel completed his initial nine-movie agreement for playing Nick Fury. He had agreed to the deal without realizing how rapidly the studio would produce these films.

Jackson expressed, “I was informed I had a nine-film contract,” further stating, “Kevin Feige told me, ‘We’re planning to propose a nine-film deal.’ So, how much time do I have to remain active to complete nine movies? It’s not exactly a speedy process.

Tom Hardy, who played The Banker in a movie, expressed surprise when he found out that Marvel had produced nine films in less than three years, exclaiming, “Wow, that’s insane! It seems like I’ve used up all my contracts. Turns out it worked out just fine.

In the open chat with the press, Jackson casually disclosed that his top memory playing Nick Fury was from a high-speed chase sequence featured in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

He portrayed the situation, emphasizing that it mirrored his character in that instance. The performer underscored Fury’s composure by remarking, “he’s calculating his next steps, figuring out what to do, always staying cool. It’s quite impressive, really impressive.

In a prior conversation with the Los Angeles Times, Samuel L. Jackson expressed a preference for working on hit Marvel movies over seeking roles that might earn an Oscar nomination. Reflecting on his thoughts about not receiving an Oscar, he admitted that while he once felt disillusioned, he moved beyond that perspective years ago. He explained that it no longer holds significance for him now.

The performer expressed delight about going to the Oscars and anticipation for receiving a gift basket as a presenter, which he intended to share with his loved ones. Yet, he underscored that he’s transcended the importance of the accolades themselves.

I, Jackson, firmly believe that the Oscars should not dictate my success or failure as an actor. Instead, I gauge my success by my own happiness and fulfillment in my work. Winning an Oscar is not my primary goal; I’d rather embody characters like Nick Fury or wield a lightsaber as Mace Windu any day.
