No More Nick Fury for Samuel L. Jackson??

Just to clarify for those who don't know, the original white version of Nick Fury is still around in the comic books, and is the primary version of the character. That's the version that pops up throughout all the main Marvel books.

The Samuel L. Jackson inspired version is from a subset of books set in an alternate reality (the Ultimate universe). So to say he's the version that current comic fans will relate to isn't entirely true.

Regardless though, Jackson's already been introduced in the films as Nick Fury. Sure, it was a brief cameo, but it was an important one meant to kickoff the build to the Avengers movie. Re-casting the role now would fudge up the smoothness of that build and ruin a great moment from Iron Man, IMHO.
