[QUOTE=Big Bad Voodoo Lou]  
Samuel L. Jackson is playing Nick Fury in next summer’s Iron Man movie, but that is based on the character of “Ultimate Nick Fury,” who is obviously a little different.

Yeah, that aint gonna confuse Joe Public. Why not have the same Fury throughout? This suggests that next years Iron Man is Ultimate Iron Man. And the other Marvel movies? Are they Ultimate? Did I just watch Ultimate FF?

Way back in the day, years before the current series, I thought Fred Ward would make a terrific Wolverine. But no one ever listens to me.

I’m not sure I’m digging him as Nick Fury, though.
