Samuel L. Jackson Says He Could ‘Legitimize’ SHIELD, Waits Patiently

by Susana Polo | 4:15 pm, June 7th, 2013

Marvel and ABC have been pretty upfront and clear about how much of a separation they want between the movies that fall under the heading of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and their first television series that falls under it: a lot.

It’s pretty clear that we won’t be seeing Robert Downey, Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Scarlet Johansson, Jeremy Renner, or Chrisses Evans or Hemsworth making cameos in Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. Maybe, just maybe, we might get Cobie Smulders when and if How I Met Your Mother ever finally makes good on its title. But there’s at least one major name from The Avengers that doesn’t just want to be on SHEILD, but is ready to talk about it.

There’s not a moment as transcendentally beautiful as Centaur!Gary Oldman from last year’s Jimmy Kimmel Live post-Oscar short film parody. But you know what? Movie: The Movie 2V is still pretty darn funny. An odd assortment of Avengers, plus S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Jessica Chastain, fighting off a horde of sexy vampires, mummies, and zombies? I’ll take it.

Monday Cute/Awesome/Attitude Role Model: Quvenzhané Wallis on the Red Carpet

by Susana Polo | 9:33 am, February 25th, 2013

Not shown: the reporter who decided to call her “Annie” (her next film role) rather than learn how to pronounce her name beforehand, and got yelled at by a nine-year-old. True story. But it wasn’t just about meeting reporters for Wallis. It seems like she made quite a few new friends at the Oscars:

If the show gets attacked by aliens, don’t worry, they’ll take care of it. It might take them a little longer than normal, though, because Black Widow and Thor won’t be there.

Wait, who are we kidding? Black Widow’s totally doing her incognito spy thing in the audience. And Thor will bust through the ceiling if Loki decides to put in an appearance.

Samuel L. Jackson Wanted Nick Fury to Have a Cameo in Breaking Bad, Because Samuel L. Jackson is Wonderful

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:30 pm, January 1st, 2013

“I just wanted to order a three piece [in Pollos Hermanos] and really freak people out. Then people would be going, ‘Wow, was that him?’” — Samuel L. Jackson on his proposed Breaking Bad Nick Fury cameo; when The Avengers was shooting in Albuquerque, Breaking Bad was in the studio right across the street.

Oh, Samuel L. Jackson. I love so much about the things you choose to be.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Casts Its Very Own Geek Girl

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:00 am, December 20th, 2012

A few weeks back we here at The Mary Sue office were discussing S.H.I.E.L.D.—you know, like you do. “Wait,” the collective Mary Sue hivemind was thinking. “It’s supposed to start shooting in January, right? And there are five main characters. But haven’t they only cast four? Aren’t they kind of coming up against a deadline here?”

But lo, now the fifth person has been cast. Nashville‘s Chloe Bennet will be playing Skye, “a confident woman who is slightly obsessed with superhero culture and the shadow organizations that exist within it. She’s edgy and can out-talk anyone with her unflappable nature.”

Ooooh. Whedon-y.

Samuel L. Jackson Wants Mace Windu In Star Wars VII. Obviously.

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:17 pm, December 10th, 2012

The kind of enthusiasm Samuel L. Jackson expresses for Star Wars is pretty adorable. I mean, come on, he demanded a purple lightsaber. So it’s no surprise the actor would want back in on the franchise that let him have so much fun.

No Other Avengers Will Be In Iron Man 3. Cheer Up, Tony. You’ll See Them in The Avengers 2.

by Rebecca Pahle | 4:15 pm, November 29th, 2012

Those who wanted to see some sort of mini-Avengers reunion in Iron Man 3 are going to be disappointed: Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has said that not a single other Avenger will be appearing in the film.

Says Feige,

You have to keep in mind that Iron Man 3 had been in the works for almost a year, year and a half before The Avengers was released. We’re sticking to the vision for these films, and showing once again that these characters are just as interesting alone as they are together.

*sigh* Fine. I understand that reasoning. But I’ll still be sad about the lack of Science Bros.

Guess Which S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents are Back for Captain America: The Winter Soldier

by Susana Polo | 2:29 pm, October 31st, 2012

So we know that Captain America is still looking for a leading lady, and that it’s going to be about Bucky Barnes, and that Scarlett Johansson‘s Black Widow will appear… but what about her other S.H.I.E.L.D. brethren? Well, we have two confirmed.
