Samuel L. Jackson To Be Part Of 'Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania,' 'The Marvels'
Samuel L. Jackson has disclosed that he will be part of the upcoming "Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania" and "The Marvels," along with Disney+'s upcoming series "Secret Invasion."
Jackson plays Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies.
The 73-year-old actor revealed he signed a nine-picture deal with Marvel Studios. He joked that the first thing that came to his mind was if he would live that long to make these movies.
"Well, you know, it's kind of strange when someone tells you they're going to give you a nine-picture deal," Jackson told the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast Thursday. "You know, you go 'How long am I going to stay alive to make nine pictures?' Because it used to take a while to make a movie."
"It still kind of does, but people make two or three of them at a time. In the Marvel Universe…it's crazy," the actor said before revealing that he was in London filming three highly anticipated projects at the same time.
"When I was in London just now. It was [Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania], and [The Marvels] was happening, and we were getting ready to do [Secret Invasion]," he explained. "So it was like, three Marvel movies on one lot. I was kind of running around from place to place."
Nick Fury is a meta-human who is part of an organization called S.H.I.E.L.D. The character first appeared in the 2008 movie "Iron Man."
Marvel Studios first announced Jackson's appearance in the Disney+ series "Secret Invasion" in December last year.
"Samuel L. Jackson is back as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn from Captain Marvel returns as the Skrull Talos in Marvel Studios' Original Series Secret Invasion," the production company tweeted at the time. "Coming to #DisneyPlus."
"Secret Invasion" is an adaption of a comic book of the same name, which was released in December 2008.
Besides the Marvel projects, Jackson will be a part of "Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank," "Argylle," "The Piano Lesson" and "Futha Mucka."
Marvel's upcoming movie, "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," is slated to release on May 6.
