Email Article Print ArticleIn a bit of casting genius, the actor who will take on the iconic role has been revealed.
Aint it cool received an exclusive on which actor will be filming his role for Iron Man today, Thursday (June 21st).
Okay. This is a pretty big tidbit, and as far as I can tell, this is an exclusive. I haven’t seen any mention of this anywhere online, but it’s exciting news, and I have to share it with you guys.
Right now, if I had to wager on whether or not IRON MAN was going to be one of next summer’s big films, I’d say it will be. It seems like Jon Favreau has done everything right so far, and I’m hearing really exciting things about the action sequences and the casting, and I’ve been sold on Robert Downey Jr. since the moment he was announced.
Today, though, he’s shooting scenes featuring an actor who is a set-up for a larger Marvel continuity, and it’s exciting because I’m hoping this character can start showing up in other films, and we’ll start seeing Marvel Studios creating a larger world, one that exists outside the frames of the individual movies. This is a major step towards making that AVENGERS movie we’ve been hearing about. So who’s the actor? Who’s the character?
Sam Jackson. Nick Fury.
Count on it.
This is AWESOME! I love how Fury is portrayed in the Ultimate comics and I’ve been praying (literally) that the studios wise up and cast Jackson as fury.
This is awesome news! Can’t wait to see Fury in Iron Man!
Well since they made Nick look just like Sam Jackson in the comics he would be a good fit.
I liked the idea of Bruce Willis playing him now and I don’t even want to think about that awful Hasselhoff version.
Jackson is perfect for the role. I would love to see him get his own spin-off movie.
I hope Fury has to fight snakes in this one…

"Home of the Brave”, “Black Snake Moan”, “Snakes on a Plane”... the last 3 movies of Jackson, lets hope “Fury” turns out to be a better choice and a better movie.
