The Avengers world is a jumbled, confusing place, a super franchise made up of several smaller superhero franchises. Samuel L. Jackson represents a point of consistency in these films for one simple reason: he's in pretty much all of them. As Nick Fury, he interacts with all the Avengers in their standalone films as well as the ones where they work together. And despite the fact that he's currently in his late 60s, he doesn't seem to show signs of slowing down anytime soon. 2015 will see him working with his longtime friend and frequent collaborator Quentin Tarantino on his newest film, The Hateful Eight. This film will continue Tarantino's exploration of the western genre and revolve around a group of bounty hunters who are caught in a blizzard in late 1800s Wyoming.
