Samuel L. Jackson says he didn't think he would live long enough to fulfill his nine-movie-long contract with Marvel Studios but was pleasantly shocked to see how fast the films actually got made.
"I knew I had a nine picture deal when Kevin said, he was like, ‘We wanna offer you a nine picture deal’ I was like, 'How long I gotta stay alive to make nine movies?'" said Jackson in an interview with GQ. "It's not the quickest process in the world and people don't do it, so I didn't know they were gonna make nine movies in like two and a half years. Which is kind of crazy. I was like 'Oh shit, I'm using up my contracts!' but it worked out."
