    In my eyes I'll never see Sam L. Jackson as Nick Fury, so I want to know who you could see playing him...

    I think that Jackson will do a good job, but being the original Nick Fury fanboy that I am I would like to see a white actor acting as him (not an offense to anyone)

    How about Al pacino?

    Then again, wouldn't the actor have to be 80 years old to be Fury?

    Yeah but didnt something happen to reverse, slow, or do something to his aging? Magneto was in WW2, but he was reverted back to a child and then aged so they could explain away him being old. Theres no way Fury is actually 80 and looking the way he does.

    With what he has gone through and his age Fury shouldn't even be able to move..... :P

    I recall that when Fury fought (and beat) Cap the second time he mentioned of HYDRA doing something to him just like what they did to Cap, I don't remember what it was but that may explain why and how Fury is in such a good shape

    Now stiuck with me here.....Brad Pitt. He already proved that he can be made up to be old like in The Curiois Case of Benjamin Button lol...they could make him into a good Nick Fury...he has depth, physicallity and I think he could actually pull of the part well....he is a beter actor then some people give him credit for.

    Aight ....I was just throwing an Idea out there

    I cant see him as Cap or Thor because I want someone new and unknown for them kinda.....but IMHO he could have made a good Fury....with the make up to make him older I thought he could really disappear in the role...but itd never happen so doesnt really matter.

    Yea I am excited to see Kick-Ass transfer to the big screen...sry for being off topic.

    Dennis Quaid is a decent character in the right role....its hard to say if he could pull it off in my mind....however let me note that Dennis Quaid is playing Hawk in the G.I. joe movie.

    I can't think of a single human being bad-ass enough to play Nick Fury. This includes Samuel L. Jackson.

    Yes, Samuel L. Jackson was the basis for a white character who made his first appearance in 1963, when Jackson was 15.
