While appearing last night on NBC's 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,' Samuel L. Jackson confirmed that he will make a cameo appearance and reprise his role as Nick Fury in both upcoming films, 'Thor' and 'Captain America: The First Avenger.'
"In the next month or so, I have to do one day on Thor, and I gotta do another day on Captain America, and in April we start The Avengers - the big deal with everybody. Thor and Captain America are pretty much done, but I haven't done my part in them yet. I'm just connective tissue for them to join The Avengers."
Jackson, who has a nine-picture deal with Marvel to appear as Nick Frost, made appearances in both 'Iron Man' films.
The Kenneth Branagh-directed 'Thor,' which stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, Stellan Skarsgard, Jaimie Alexander, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Josh Dallas, Tadanobu Asano, Idris Elba, Clark Gregg, and Colm Feore, opens on May 6.
'Captain America: The First Avenger,' which stars Chris Evans, Hugo Weaving, and Tommy Lee Jones, opens on July 22.
