So I'm trying to figure this one out.
- Iron Man
- Iron Man 2
- Captain America: The First Avenger
- The Avengers
- Captain America: The Winter Soldier
I count five, unless one of those "pictures" was Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which makes me wonder if that being a picture means they can use him over and over in the show and not use another "picture". ORRRR... he secretly shot something for Guardians of the Galaxy?
So that would make six.
So I guess seven means Avengers: Age of Ultron, which means two left for Phase 3.
Two stalwarts of the Marvel Cinematic Universe unite on-screen at last: badass, superspy Nick Fury and Tony Starks suave, supersmart dad Howard Stark. Well, kind of.
Samuel L. Jackson and Dominic Cooper share the spotlight in the new film Reasonable Doubt (which opened in limited theaters last Friday), a thriller that casts Cooper as an ambitious prosecutor involved in a hit and run, only to see an innocent man (Jackson) charged with the crime seemingly innocent, at least, since hes a suspected serial killer.
The actors are serious admirers of each others work, having met in passing offscreen thanks to their connection to the Marvel movies. In fact, Jackson is hoping Howard Stark though a 1940s-era contemporary to Captain America finds his way into more of the films (perhaps via flashback in Captain America: The Winter Soldier or the rumored retro Agent Carter TV series). It's your gene pool, man you're Robert Downey's gene pool! Jackson says, addressing Cooper. Without you, there'd be no Downey.
Cooper (currently shooting the video game-to-film adaptation Warcraft for director Duncan Jones) says any actor taking on even a minor player in Marvel lore has a huge responsibility.
You can't really think too much about because of so many years and so many fans, you're answering to quite a lot of people's idea of who they expect that person to be, he says. Hopefully, they'll work out a way to bring Stark back in somewhere. I don't know how because it was set in the past, but he's a really fun character to play. It's great. He's an old-fashioned playboy. One thing Cooper hopes for is a story construct that allows him play a scene with his filmic son Downey Jr. one day. There's some fun to be had with Howard Stark, there really is.
Jackson insists he has no idea about the road ahead for Nick Fury beyond the Captain America and Avengers sequels. Nope, none whatsoever, he says proudly. I just know that the Marvel Universe is there, that there are things going on, and that I have three pictures left on my nine-picture deal. That's all I know. I've done six of them, and I'm about to do seven, so I'm running out of Marvel pictures unless they extend my contract.
But dont worry: if the deals right, Jacksons game for nine more.Hell, yeah! Why wouldn't I?
