Samuel L. Jackson upset with ‘Thor’ snub
April 22nd, 2010 - 6:33 pm ICT by ANILondon, April 22 (ANI): American actor Samuel L. Jackson is disappointed since producers of the upcoming movie ‘Thor’ have not signed him.
Jackson thought that his Marvel Comics character Ultimate Nick Fury would appear in the super hero movie.
The 61-year-old actor played the role of Nick Fury in the climax of the super hero movie ‘Iron Man’ and he will be playing the same role for the movie’s sequel, reports The Daily Star.
Jackson’s character will also make an appearance in The First Avenger: Captain America and The Avengers.
The Pulp Fiction actor admitted that he was shocked to know that he had not been signed for ‘Thor’ because a number of press stories had mentioned that he would be playing Nick Fury in the movie.
“I thought I was in Thor. They said I was in the trades, and I was like, Oh, I’ve got a job,” Jackson told Lesb.net.
“And then, I called my agent and she said, ‘Nah, you’re not in it. They misprinted’. I was like, ‘Well shit, they need to pay me just cause they put my name in it,” he added. (ANI)
