Samuel L. Jackson is one of the most highly accomplished actors in all of Hollywood right now, whose roles in films such as Pulp Fiction and Snakes on A Plane helped make him a global phenomenon. Of course, he is more known now for his role as Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With that said, he is now being considered a typecast actor by a fan who made an incredibly obvious joke.

The screenplay to the 2014 mega-hit "Guardians of the Galaxy," the 10th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was credited to director James Gunn and longtime Hollywood screenwriter Nicole Perlman. Perlman also has story credits on the films "Captain Marvel" and "Pokémon Detective Pikachu," and has previously been attached to a sequel to the 1986 Jim Henson film "Labyrinth," as well as film adaptations of the 1980s toy properties "Visionaries" and "M.A.S.K."
Perlman, according to an old article on the Marvel website, was recruited into the Marvel writing room way back in 2009 and was offered the opportunity to write a spec script for a "lesser" Marvel property as a test of her style and working capabilities. She selected "Guardians of the Galaxy," a Marvel title that had been rebooted by authors Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning the year before. Perlman said to her interviewer that this was a common...

Do you remember the show "Raising Dad"? The 2001-2002 single-season series from The WB grabbed my attention because it was another show starring "Full House" star Bob Saget, but would also serve as the gateway to two actors who would become all-time favorites of mine: Kat Dennings and Brie Larson. When it was announced that the latter was going to appear in "Fast X," I couldn't resist bringing up her history of playing a hot rodder in the Disney Channel Original Movie "Right on Track," and I'm always elated when people realize that Larson is one of the members of the Six Chicks clique in "13 Going on 30" and one of the popular girls in "Sleepover."
When actors can transition into a successful acting career as adults, their childhood careers either become the comparison of everything they do moving forward, or a non-discussed subject. For Larson, her past as...

"The Avengers" writer/director Joss Whedon may be long banished from the Marvel Cinematic Universe now, but his influence remains seeped into the whole enterprise. The screwball, genre-aware dialogue Whedon writes is now the McU's house style — if not a hindrance. Other writers have been aping it to diminishing returns ever since.
The behind-the-scenes book "MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios" by Gavin Edwards, Dave Gonzales, and Joanna Robinson details how Marvel Studios first hired Whedon. His gain was another writer's loss; Zak Penn had already written a script for "The Avengers," but Whedon threw his version out and started from scratch. "There was a script. There just wasn't a script I was going to film a word of," Whedon said. This move is an early harbinger of how Whedon would make his style into Marvel's own.
As "MCU" notes, this wasn't the first time this had happened to Penn.

There are a lot of similarities between actor Robert Downey Jr. and his character Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man. They're both smart-alecks with a history of substance abuse issues, they're both wildly talented, and they both are pretty darn proud. So when asked which movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) he thought was the best, one would assume that Downey would pick one of the "Iron Man" movies, or one of the "Avengers" movies at the very least, right? Wrong!
In the book "MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios" by Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzales, and Gavin Edwards, the various Avengers discussed their picks for the "Best Marvel Movie Ever" and the man behind Iron Man had a pretty surprising pick that honestly feels close to impossible to argue with. After all, who knows the MCU better than the people at the very center of it -- and besides,...

Kenneth Branagh knew Natalie Portman was the perfect fit to play “Thor” female lead Jane Foster.
The film’s co-screenwriter Zack Stentz said in “MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios” by Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzales, and Gavin Edwards that director Branagh was “very taken with” Portman after meeting her.
“He was very taken with her, not in a romantic way, but with her intelligence,” Stentz said of Branagh (as excerpted by Vanity Fair). “Jane is a physicist, and we needed someone who could convey that intelligence. That’s what struck him about her: He said, forgive me, ‘Because the last thing we need is nuclear physicist Denise Richards.'”
Richards portrayed a nuclear physicist in 1999 James Bond film “The World Is Not Enough,” and won a Razzie for her critically panned performance.
Per Portman, she agreed to appear in “Thor” because she hoped Branagh’s take on the Marvel character would be “super weird.
