Samuel L. Jackson didn’t think he would live long enough to fulfill his Marvel contract: “I didn’t know they were gonna make nine movies in like two and a half years”

“I knew I had a nine picture deal when Kevin said, he was like, ‘We wanna offer you a nine picture deal’ I was like, ‘How long I gotta stay alive to make nine movies?’” said Jackson in an interview with GQ. “It’s not the quickest process in the world and people don’t do it, so I didn’t know they were gonna make nine movies in like two and a half years. Which is kind of crazy. I was like ‘Oh shit, I’m using up my contracts!’ but it worked out.”

When asked for his favorite Nick Fury moment ever, the star replied, “In Winter Soldier when he’s in that car. I mean that’s like quintessential Nick Fury. It’s like, okay, no panic, he’s cool figuring out, you know, make the next move, make the next move, make the next move. Badass, badass shit.”
