Am I right in thinking Ultimate Fury pre-dates Jackson being cast in Iron Man?

Yeah. Ultimate Fury made his first appearance around 10 years ago and they got Jackson's permission to use his likeness.

Good. I started reading Ultimate Spidey for a while back then I thought I remembered Black Furry.

I read that as Black Flurry.

I read it as Black Furry and thought of this.

I thought the article was going to be that they had changed the film to get rid of Jackson. Which would have been crazy.

Then I read it

[Jax]

Disappointed the writer of that article didn't go with a "Fury erupts" headline.

[Wedgie]

What utter nonsense. My understanding of this is that Sam Jackson's playing Ultimate Nick Fury, who is black and whose appearance is based on, err, Samuel L Jackson.

Also this from the same article...

Indiana University research revealed that white audiences are more likely to watch films with white actors, believing films with black leads are aimed at black audiences. The report's author, Professor Andrew Weaver, said: "Movie producers are often reluctant to cast more than a few minority actors in race-neutral movies for fear the white audience will largely avoid such films."

Prometheus writer/Lost writer/Massive geek Damon Lindelof tweeted: "The Hulk we have been waiting for has at last arrived. #AvengersFuckYeah"

Can't wait for this film!

[Wedgie]

That's great news. I can't understand why the other Avengers' films were enjoyable average romps (with the exception of Iron Man which was brilliant) while both of Hulk's films are... dull.

It could be down to how difficult it is to kill him. There's no real danger to him, like Superman.

I'm probably grasping at straws but that tweet made it sounds like that Hulk is getting good.

Avengers premier in the US was last night, seems Loki's army has been confirmed as the Chitauri.

Thought as much, wonder if shape shifting will still be part of the plot like in the supposed leaked script.

Tickets booked \o/

Director of Brick and JGL reunited Looks immense, hooray for original concepts.

(awaits reply from someone pointing out it's been done before)

[Bamboo]

Looper is looking good.

[gaminglegend]

I find it odd that Avengers has it's premiere in the US this week, yet it's released here before USA Not that I'm complaining

Woah woah Lindelof is the writer for Prometheus? No wonder I'm not looking forward to it.
