This may come as as a huge disappointment to all you Samuel L. Jackson headz out there:

Hollywood actor Samuel L. Jackson has hinted he won’t be returning for Iron Man 2 – because an “economic crisis in the Marvel Comics world” led a to a breakdown of negotiations over his salary.

The star made a cameo appearance at the end of the 2008 hit movie, setting up his role as Nick Fury for the upcoming sequel. He was also tipped to play the comic book character in The Avengers movie alongside Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man and a host of other superhero characters.

But now Jackson admits that talks between his management team and the bosses behind the movie franchise have stalled, claiming that financial problems at comic book giant Marvel Entertainment mean there’s a good chance he won’t be signed on to either picture.

He tells the Los Angeles Times, “I saw (Iron Man director) Jon Favreau at the Scream Awards and we had a conversation. He said, ‘I hope things are working out for you because we’re writing stuff for you’. Then all of a sudden last week I talked to my agents and manager and things aren’t really working that well.

“There was a huge kind of negotiation that broke down. I don’t know. Maybe I won’t be Nick Fury. Maybe somebody else will be Nick Fury or maybe Nick Fury won’t be in it. There seems to be an economic crisis in the Marvel Comics world so (they’re saying to me), ‘We’re not making that deal’.”

Damn this jacked economy! You know sh*t is bad when A listers are underpriced and generic no-namers start having take their place. Maybe the geniuses at Marvel are hoping their new gay superhero will come through and save the day – fiscally speaking of course. SMH.
