Samuel Jackson talks SHIELD Movie & Iron Man

 Posted by: Michael
Sheila Roberts sat down with Samuel Jackson to talk to him about Resurrecting the champ and during that sit down she got a chance to talk to him about the new Iron Man film spin off The Shield. Here is what Sam had to say.
 
I’m curious if your Shield movie is 2009 or 2010?
Samuel Jackson: I have no idea.  I have no idea if I’m even going to do one.  I have no idea if I’m in Iron Man or not.  People keep talking about it.
It’s possible that you and maybe Hilary Swank have one day parts.
I’ve heard that.  I’ve heard that, yeah.
If you were hypothetically in the movie, which of course you weren’t, but if you were, what drew you to wanting to play—hypothetically—possibly playing a character like that?
Well, because I knew who Nick Fury was when I was a kid and it’s really amazing to me that he actually…he was this white guy who used to be in the Army with this group called the Howling Commandos and as I grew up, he actually grew up to be me in the comic book now.  When I look at the comic book I go wow, Nick Fury looks a lot like me now.  So I figure it’s got to be interesting to play a guy who used to be white who’s now black and like me.
Did you hear about how well the footage was received at Comic Con?
No, I did not.
They didn’t show hypothetically if you were in the movie but the footage that played was the talk of the entire convention.
Awesome.
It was the A+, homerun, Barry Bonds destroying it. It was amazing.
That’s great. That’s good to hear.  Maybe I will let them do me in there.
Look for Sheila's complete interview with Samuel Jackson coming soon!
