Samuel L. Jackson Didn’t Think He Would Live Long Enough to Complete His Initial Marvel Contract

Samuel L. Jackson wasn’t entirely convinced he would live long enough to make his contracted Marvel movies. As arguably one of the busiest actors working in the film industry. He has appeared in just about every genre and has been lucky enough to be involved in several tentpole releases and major IPs. Not many performers can say they’ve been a part of the Star Wars universe and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but Jackson can claim both in his filmography. His time with the MCU began with a cameo appearance in 2008’s Iron Man as Nick Fury, which kicked off a nine-picture contract to play the character. However, this was something the actor questioned was even possible to complete before his time on this Earth came to an end.
