Me Geek, You Geek: March 2010

Samuel L. has reportedly signed a ten movie deal with Marvel, according to contactmusic.com. That’s pretty cool if you ask me, that means we’ll see Sam in - wait…

WHAT?!?

A ten movie deal?

Okay, let’s run through this:

The First Avenger: Captain America. (1) A possible Iron Man 3. (2) Thor? (3) Avengers? (4) S.H.I.E.L.D? (5) Another Hulk film? (6) Captain America 2? (7) Thor 2? (8) Avengers 2 (9) A possible Black Widow spin off (OH PLEASE, OH PLEASE!) (10).

Okay, that’s ten. At first I was thinking 10 was a number that could not be met. But clearly it can be met (snicker). If all the stars align, all these movies get green lit and the bottom doesn’t fall out of a seemingly airtight comic book movie genre.

Sam is currently 62 years old. So by the time his tenth film comes around he’ll only be, what, 68 years old? I’m assuming minor bit parts in some of the films so he could kick out more than one a year.

By the time we get to Avengers 2 we’ll have Nick Fury with a eye patch and a walking cane. Woot!

Is it possible he’d show up in the possible Daredevil remake? I guess if can put him in Daredevil we can put him in the Ant-Man movie, etc.

What do you think about this news? Good for Marvel? Definitely good for Sam?
