The actor plays the role Nick Fury in Marvel movies
Samuel L.
Jackson has once again expressed his desire to star in a Black Panther
film.
The Hollywood veteran said he is unable to understand why he
has never been in a Black Panther movie.
The "Pulp Fiction" actor is set to return as Nick Fury in Marvel‘s
Secret Invasion which also stars Game of Thrones actor Emilia Clarke.
Jackson
has appeared in a series of Marvel films but he is yet to appear in
Wakanda.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, he said, “I don’t know,
it’s kind of up and down for me in an interesting sort of way.”
“Feels
like I’ve been playing him forever. If I had it my way, I would’ve been in
every Marvel movie because, I mean, he is Nick Fury, he knows everything
that’s going on. I’m still trying to figure out why I’ve never been to
Wakanda.”
He had made similar comments on The Ellen show in 2018 when he
said he wanted to be in Black Panther, but producers wouldn’t let him.
He
told host Ellen DeGeneres he had asked repeatedly to be involved.
“It’s
a great movie, but I couldn’t believe that you weren’t in it,” she told
him.
The actor replied: “I couldn’t either! When they were making
it, I kept saying, ‘So when do I go to Wakanda?’
