Samuel L Jackson Furious Talk over Marvel Movies: Iron Man 2 & Avengers

Some headlines are touting that Samuel L Jackson may be out as Nick Fury on Iron Man 2. Hogwash. Let me tell you why.

If you've seen Iron Man and who hasn't, Nick Fury made a cameo appearance after the ending credits ...If you were smart enough to stay seated through them. Nick Fury meets Tony Stark at the bar and the light bulb goes off over every fanboys head. The thought? Marvel is going to make an Avengers movie!

Who is Nick Fury to Marvel's future plans in an Avengers team-up film? Without him you have no Avengers: Hulk, Iron Man, Thor and Captain America. When Marvel thought of Nick Fury for the big screen, they abandoned the aging white military man and went with a younger, bald black man with attitude out the wazoo. They practically designed the character after Sam Jackson, and that is a fact.

Well PCM readers, now it appears with the cost of assembling such super heroes on screen in terms actors salaries ...Jackson wants a cut. After all, Fury is a big cross-over character. He's preying on the fact Marvel re-cast this iconic chracter in Jackson's image, from physical appearance to his manner. And it is clear Sam Jackson wants a cut before Marvel has to shell out money to whomever plays Captain America and Thor.

As an aside folks ...Frankly I say they don't even go with Cap or Thor and insert Spidey as he was in later graphic novel versions of the Avengers. But even if Toby McGuire signs on, you still have another salary to negotiate for whomever plays Thor or Captain America. Either way it makes total sense for Sam Jackson to get his pay day arranged early.

To insure this, Sam Jackson recently talked dismilly about his role in the next Iron Man 2 installment. When asked who would wear Nick Fury's eye patch he answered, "Maybe nobody will wear it. Maybe they'll decide Nick Fury won't be part of it." Now Samuel

In addition to all this, Marvel confirms they are active negotiations. No doubt this is a negotiating tactic on Sam's part. If that is not enough for you, just a week ago Jackson was quoted: "I saw Jon Favreau at the Scream Awards and we had a conversation. He said, 'I hope things are working out for you because we're writing stuff for you.' "

Jackson is not going anywhere. I assure you. If he is, Fury is NOT. Fury is an integral part of the Iron Man 2 story and the future of an Avengers film.

Oh... In case you forgot, we posted this Semi-Avenger's team-up CGI master-piece posted on YouTube just a couple weeks back... Stay tuned to PCM for more...

Poor Brooke Hogan

Brooke Hogan recently revealed to Us Weekly magazine how she feels about all the drama surrounding her family lately and her mother's new relationship. Let's face it, Linda Hogan has become, well, a cougar. Brooke told the mag how she feels about her mom dating former classmate, 19-year old Charley Hill:

“Honestly, I don’t know what to say because I can’t relate to her right now. I’m extremely shocked. I know if I was 48-years-old, I wouldn’t date a 19-year-old. I just don’t feel it’s her. And through all this stuff, I really need my mom, and she’s doing her own thing. I don’t talk to her anymore. I see her at the jail visiting Nick and she asks me why. I say, ‘I don’t condone what you’re doing. I’m on my path, and you’re on your path.’ I told her, ‘I’d love to have you in my life, to see you and talk to you, but the kind of things you’re surrounding yourself with, it doesn’t make sense to me.”

Hulk Hogan's family in car accident

Former wrestler Hulk Hogan and his family were reportedly involved in a car accident in Clearwater, Florida earlier today.

According to Tampa's CBS affiliate, WTSP, Hogan, his estranged wife Linda and their daughter Brooke were involved in a seven-car accident that shut down the northbound lanes of the Bayside Bridge.

Although no one was seriously hurt, the Hogan's white Mercedes was damaged and towed from the scene, WSTP reported.

The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the accident, which occurred just before 4 p.m. The Bayside Bridge was shut down for 20 minutes and later re-opened.

This was not the first car accident for the Hogan family. Son Nick, 17, was recently sentenced to 8 months in Pinellas County jail after a November car accident - where he was reportedly street racing - critically injured his friend, John Graziano.


UPDATE: According to an official Florida Highway Patrol report, Brooke Hogan was actually at the wheel of the car, and the only other person in the car was a friend of hers.

The head-on collision occurred when 19-year-old Ronald Gallman lost control of his vehicle when attempting to change lanes. He hit Hogan's car, pushing it into a concrete wall barrier.

Both cars involved sustained approximately $3,000 worth of damage. So far no charges have been filed against either drivers.
