Marvel Hath No Fury: Who Should Replace Samuel L. Jackson?

Speaking of speculation, let’s move on to possible and plausible suggestions for replacements for the great bald one.

Anyone who steps into this role will have big shoes to fill: both Jackson’s as an actor and Fury’s as a character. Whether Marvel decides to keep the Ultimate version or go with the 616 version is unclear. Maybe Jackson and Marvel can reach a deal, but let’s go ahead and expect that that may not happen. The right actor for this role has to be a combination of all the things above. Someone not famous enough won’t measure up, someone too ‘pretty’ wouldn’t put on the right appearance, and someone too serious would just weigh it down. Like Nick Fury himself, the actor who gets this role will have a lot of responsibility, a sense of adventure, and a vision to do the right thing by others.
