Merrick here... After Samuel L. Jackson's 'if you blink you'll miss it' appearance in IRON MAN, many fans asked an obvious question: would Sam even appear in IRON MAN sequels, or would we only see him again if THE AVENGERS movie happened. IESB just round tabled with Jackson, who said Favreau had just spoken to him about the forthcoming sequel. Favreau told Jackson that Nick Fury would have a much more prominent role in the second one. ..says THIS ARTICLE at IESB.

Whenever there’s Sam Jackson news to be reported, I’m always excited to write it up. And it’s not just because he’s one of my favorite actors ever. It’s because any article featuring the original “Bad Mother F—r” pretty much writes itself. But there’s no need for me to dip into my extensive list of Sam-isms (culled mostly from Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown) to make this news exciting.
