This one comes to us via a tipster named Elliot ….
There was talk back in the summer that Samuel L. Jackson wouldn’t be making cameos in Thor or Captain America. Given Marvel’s deep and abiding love for postcredit cameos, and how quickly they can film them, this seemed slightly unlikely.
And it was!
Samuel L. Jackson was on Jimmy Fallon tonight, and he confirmed that he’ll be making cameos in both films. He’s spending two days or so filming cameos, though he’s unsure whether they will appear after the credits or not.
He also mentioned that they are holding auditions for a special lady friend for Nick Fury. He’s screen testing with a number of actresses who will be his “sidekick” and “be with him all the time.”
Our tipster posits that it may be Wasp, but I wonder if it’s Maria Hill, topnotch SHIELD agent, and eventual successor of Fury. She’s one of the closest things he had to a sidekick over the years, though he had his share of Bond girls (Fury girls?) early in his solo series.
We shall see. The Avengers is due to go before a camera soon.
Thanks again to our tipster Elliot. You don’t know how weird it is to see my beloved pug’s name in my inbox, and sending me Avengers news no less. My dog is a huge Marvel fan, so it was within the realm of possibility….

i wondurz if heel still has da ipatch?!
Elisabeth Rappe, Well, Fury’s #1 sidekick in the early, Nick Fury Of S.H.I.E.L.D. run was, Agent Valentine Allegra De Fontaine. Val was also in the tv movie, Nick Fury Of S.H.I.E.L.D. with David Hasselhoff as Colonel Fury.
She could be Valentina. But she’s awfully obscure in comparison to Maria Hill, who pops up a lot in Iron Man, and could easily crossover to other character franchises. Valentina was really just a slightly more useful Bond girl, more notable for sleeping with Fury than ever kicking serious ass. She did DID lead the Femme Force…but they only got six issues…but maybe. They could use it to explain Black Widow hanging around, I suppose, but it seems so dated.
It’s a possibility. I’m ashamed I didn’t think of it.
Maria Hill less obscure than Valentina? I wouldn’t really say so unless you’re talking about folks that have only been reading comics for the last 5 years or so.
Of course, if we’re talking about people that don’t read comics at all, then both of them are equally obscure, I’d wager.
But in the interest of speculation I’ll toss out another Avengers-related possibility: Carol Danvers aka the eventual Ms. Marvel.
