Marvel's movies

I just read that Sam Jackson is filming scenes as Nick Fury for the Iron Man movie. I love this news, because Jackson was the template for Fury in Marvel's Ultimate line of books. Yes, I know that Nick Fury in Marvel's original continuity was a middle aged guy who served in WWII. I don't care about that. I love that Marvel's financing their own movies now and can use their incredible cast of characters as they see fit (outside of the characters already licensed out to other studios...Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, etc...). Fury will be in Iron Man, so it's a no brainer that we'll also see him in a Captain America movie and probably a Thor movie, too. Marvel's creating a movie universe, which comic fans are going to love. Does this mean we could have an Iron Man cameo in Captain America, or see Cap in a Thor or Doctor Strange movie? Nick Fury should also have a cameo in the new Hulk movie, too. He doesn't have to have a big role, but just big enough to continue to establish the confines of the new Marvel movie universe. Hopefully, when actors' contracts are written, there's some verbage addressing cameos. I think it's very cool that Jackson's doing this; that's why he's one of my favorite actors. He has fun and likes to please his fans. Iron Man will be a hit, and hopefully Captain America will also get a great cast and director and be a smash. If that's the case, imagine how great an Avengers movie would be with Iron man, Captain America, Thor and other members introduced in the movie going after the Hulk. Don't just think of the movies, but think of the marketing aspects...comic tie-ins, toys and other promotional opportunites will mean marvel can cash in big and then makes more movies with bigger budgets and effects, etc...Maybe they can even buy back the rights to Spider-Man or the FF. Can you imagine seeing Spidey cameo in an FF movies, talking to the Human Torch, or how about seeing Daredevil in a Spider-Man movie. The mind reels at the possibilites, or mine does anyway! One thing i always loved about comics was seeing heroes show up in other heroes' books. The movies could be just like that. Maybe Marvel will give me a job! ha ha!
