Jack Aubrey Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Jo Blo is reporting: Potential spoiler, highlight to read! Some time during filming on Jon Favreau's armored opus, it was stated that actor Sam Jackson would appear in a cameo as eyepatch-wearing S.H.I.E.L.D. honcho Nick Fury. Since then, we've heard the scene had been excised from the final film, possibly to appear only as a DVD extra. Looks like Favs was pulling a fast one -- the scene was apparently omitted for all preview and press screenings (so as not to spoil the surprise, whoops), but will indeed be included when the flick hits your local theater. Fury reportedly shows up at the end and, as Rich Johnston says in his reliable comic column Lying in the Gutters, "he's recruiting for a group called The Avengers."

JohnnyBlaze Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Yup. I read this too. But it all depends on the success of the Iron Man movie and the "other" Marvel flick that's released after it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. P. L. Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Mmmmhhh! This and the fact that SPOILER Tony Stark appears in the new Hulk movie seem to pave the way for an Avengers movie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompers Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Wow! Yep, as a former Marvel comic book reader of old, this is exciting. (Damn I'm a geek.) Spidey was always my favorite, but Iron Man was a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I wonder if Cap will be in this since they're planning his own movie. I know he wasn't one of the founding Avengers, but I can't see it without him. This movie could be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm excited too about Iron Man... hope to see it this coming weekend. If you get strong, motivated actors, you can make a good comic book movie. That's why Spiderman, X-Men and Batman Begins worked so fine... And I - still - read comic books... it's more of an habit than anything else...

-D-RocK- Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Why do I get the feeling that this movie is going to be another in the long list of Hollywood duds that are too thin on writing, plot, character development and too dependent on CGI effects. Or maybe it's just me being a jackass. We'll see I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch that trailer and see if you still think it will be a dud. I say not. Will be going to the movies this weekend to see IRONMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a blockbuster, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-D-RocK- Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Maybe you guys will be right, I've seen one of the trailers on TV and it looked good. But we've all been sucked in by flashy trailers before too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time, replace the word yellow with khaki in the HTML tag. You'll find it works a lot better. Edited April 30, 2008 by Jack Aubrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
