Sam Jackson, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

OK, this is just ridiculous. Remember, about five years ago, when Marvel's Ultimate Universe introduced their Nick Fury and it was just obvious that the character was patterned after Samuel L. Jackson?

Well now fiction is turning into reality.

Ain't it Cool News (LINK HERE) is reporting that Sam Jackson is taping a few scenes for the upcoming Iron Man movie, and he is playing Nick Fury.

Eat your heart out, David Hasselhoff!

Now, there is no downside to this news -- Sam Jackson is the man, the Sam Jackson Nick Fury character is likewise the man, this definitely makes the Iron Man movie more exciting, and this is news that may lead to a Nick Fury movie or an Ultimate Avengers movie -- I just find this to be ridiculous that the character Jackson has signed on to play is basically himself with a big gun.
