Can't wait to see this 1st one was unreal

[Captain Eo]

I'm guess that's a loose translation from google perhaps?

Maybe "hours of movement" is equal to hours of action.

[AnnIQ Edison]

This guy looks like he just takes random words from everyone elses posts and mixes it into one response, like a spammer.

[stokeriño]

No, it's an online translator. He's Russian.

[AnnIQ Edison]

Ah well that explains it. I guess I've just dealt with too many spammers before

[Bryan Blade]

just watched the 1st one again only now saw the bit after the credits why is samuel Jackson playing nick fury?

[Johnny Latino Heat]

They're basing the movie Fury on Ultimate Nick Fury, which was himself based on Samuel L. Jackson. I believe they even got a deal so they could use his likeness. He'll also play Fury in nine more movies.

From Wiki's Ultimate Nick Fury page:

Samuel L. Jackson

Actor Samuel L. Jackson gave his consent for Marvel Comics to use his likeness in their redesign of the Fury character for The Ultimates[5], and first appeared with this revised look in Ultimates #1, as drawn by Bryan Hitch. This is not a unique practice for writer Mark Millar, who similarly had artist J.G. Jones use the explicit likenesses of Eminem, Halle Berry and Tommy Lee Jones for the major characters in the miniseries Wanted[citation needed] (although, in this case, apparently without their consent). The similarity is even noted within the comic itself, in a scene in which the Ultimates discuss who they think should play each of them in a hypothetical movie about the team. Fury's answer for himself is "Mr. Samuel L. Jackson, of course, no discussion." Such is the popularity of the Jackson-inspired version of the character that Jackson was contracted to portray Fury in Iron Man despite the film being an adaptation of the mainstream Marvel Universe version of the character[citation needed], rather than choose a Caucasian actor to play the matching classic version of Fury.

Because he's an actor, and generally when you're casting a movie thats what you look for? Other than that, no idea.

[Bryan Blade]

Well you see i thought Nick Fury was white but johnny cleared it up for me. I still don't know though about him. So of the Avengers then who's actually gonna be in the Movie, Iron Man, Hulk ,Fury ,Thor? Captain America too yeah? Who's gonna play the Cap actually

[Johnny Latino Heat]

Only the Ultimate version of Fury is black, the mainstream Fury is, in fact, white.

As for Captain America, to the best of my knowledge, he hasn't been cast yet.

[TKz]

I don't see why so many people shit on the idea of The Ultimate Fury. I really quite like the idea of Samuel L Jackson as the leader of a group of Superheroes. I mean they tried once before with the white version and look who they ended up casting... >_>

[Bryan Blade]

They tried before?

[livid]

Yeah there was a Nick Fury TV movie with David Hasselhoff as Fury.

[Bryan Blade]

Must have been awful yeah?

[TGC]

It wasn't great by any means, but it wasn't as "horrible" as you might think.

[K]

A black man was cast as Kingpin for Daredevil and no-one gave a shit, not sure why people mind that Nick Fury is now black. Possibly cause Daredevil sucked, but whatever.

You take that back! Daredevil was awesome just for it's casting choices. Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin and Colin Farrell as Bullseye were brilliant.

...It was just, you know, the good guy's that let it down >_>

[Benji]

I love the Daredevil film, I honestly don't know what people dislike about it and I adore the source material too.

To be fair, it had the tough time of following on from X-Men and Spider Man and from Ben Affleck, who, while I don't think is a particularly good actor (though he was fine as Daredevil), I'm 99% certain that a lot of people disliked him just for being Ben Affleck.

But yeah, King Pin and Bullseye were feckin' awesome. "I don't believe it... the blind lawyer from Hell's Kitchen!" & "I missed... I never miss." are lines that are quite often quoted when me and my mates are pissed off our faces. >_>

[Bryan Blade]

I found that funny too because the Kingpin was white in some other film think it might have been one of the punisher movies not sure though
