Nick Fury To Appear In Thor & Captain America Movies

It doesn't come as a big surprise, but last night of NBC's Jimmy Fallon show actor Samuel L. Jackson who plays Nick Fury in the Marvel movies confirmed he will have brief appearances in both "Thor" and "Captain: America The First Avenger."

Jackson describes his small roles in these movies as being the link that ties them all to the big Avengers movie coming out in 2012, which will feature Iron Man, Captain America & Thor.

Jackson also revealed in the interview that he will be participating in screen tests with 5 actresses for a as-of-yet unnamed role in the Avengers movie.

"I gotta screen test like five actresses on Friday. They have this new character that’s my sidekick or something, that’s with me all the time."

It is widely believed this might be for the role of the Wasp character who was one of the founding members of the Avengers in the comic book series. See the entire interview below.



Thor opens in theaters on May 6, 2011, Captain America: The First Avenger opens in theaters on July 22, 2011 and The Avengers opens May 4, 2012.
