Well, let's see if we can come up with an actual cast for a real Nick fury movie. For those of you who don't know, Marvel is actually developing a script for a VERY dark Very HEavy Nick Fury Movie.
Why I believe Bruce Campbell should play Nick Fury, as I stated in a previous post, it seems another Bruce may be Fury. It seems that Bruce Willis is in negotiations to play Nick Fury, but not until he finishes "Die Hard 4.0", which starts this fall. Damn...I really wanted Campbell.
ok, has anyone read the ultimates?! Samuel L. Jackson would be an amazing Nick Fury. Bruce Willis is awesome and i'd still love seeing him play the role, but Jackson is perfect for the role.
no one ever thinks of Kurt Russel for this part...but it would be perfect...he's old like Nick Fury, but at the same time he has that sort of look as if he cant get old (just like nick) also we all know from Snake Plissed that he looks great with an eye patch, and he's a great action hero!(and a grat actor!)
The thing is, in the original comics... Fury always reminded me of Solid snake from MEtal Gear solid... since that character, with his eye-patch(MGS3) and scruffy beared, was originally modelled after Snake Plisken, Kurt Russell's character in Escape from New York/La. The only problem with him now is that he might be a little too old by the time they actually start making the movie.
Though if they do go with the Ultimates version of Fury... definitely Samuel L Jackson. No contest
I think Kurt Russel would be an excellent choice to play Fury. and as for his career being ruined by wearing an eyepatch again, I think not. Kurt Russel has been around Hollywood long enough to anything he wants, kind of like Rick James. Kidding aside, he definitely doesn't have to worry about his career being ruined. My number two choice would be Michael Madsen, and my number 3 would be David Carradine.
I'll agree with the guy who said Tom Berenger. Or how's about Sam Elliott. He put in the best performance in the Hulk. All he needs is a little hair dye and a five o'clock shadow
Bruce Willis looked the part in "Sin City" and the producers were talking with him about him being in the movie. Then they decided that they would have to make it like the ultimate one so that means he will be black. This pisses me off to no end because you do NOT take a great WHITE character and make him black. That is political correctness at its stupedist. Now they are talking about (gag me) Will Smith as playing the part. As long as he is black it will suck. The whole younger with snappy technology thing is STUPID!! Peace Out!!
My actions are not vengence, no, not vengence. Punishment. -The Punisher
I think that Mark Harmon from the tv series would make a good classic Nick Fury. He just isn't built enough to be Nick. I can sooooooo see Gary Sinise being a good Nick Fury....maybe it's only because I can imagine him sneering so easily haha.
We need to get Mark Hamil to play the joker, not Nick Fury.
Michael Biehn's a posibility.
Kurt Russell's still one of the best choices I've heard. I can't see Robert Patrick, but, I know he could do it. I actualy could see Tommy Lee Jones doing it, we've seen him doing comedy and Two Face too much, but he's still got the chops to do this.
Ron Pearlman's an option, but in the end, he's just too big to be Nick Fury.
If they go with the Ultimate version, maybe Avery Brooks, or Laurance Fishbourne, if we're trying to get alternatives to the whole Sammuel L. Jackson angle.
Assuming this isn't going to be the big-budget type of movie, you could look at a Jerry Doyle or even a Jonathan Frakes type. Good second-bananas that wouldn't start the bidding at $25 million and wouldn't play so out of character the movie becomes overly campy.
If they buffed up Steve Brushemi then i think he would be good. Like he's got the voice and the attitued and the face, but he's too skinny. If they buffed him up he'd be awsome, but they shouldn't buff him up. They should jsut cast him as he looks now. And how about George Clooney? what about him.
Bruce Willis is in Talks with Marvel for the Fury Movie... finally a Nick Fury on the List who can use a New York Accent (Fury was from Hell's Kitchen)
Sam Jackson, he's got the look of the ultimate Nick Fury which i think has a better look than the origional 'old man' Fury that some artists seem to make him look like. And well they changed the look of Kingpin to a black guy and he is one of the largest Villain in the comics not to mension an arch nemesis of both Spider-man and Daredevil.
I could've cast Arnold Schwarzenegger but he's now governor of California. This has to go with the cigar smoking but maybe in a real movie Nick Fury doesn't smoke cigars.
