1. Samuel L. Jackson - Marvel Cinematic Universe
Number Of Films: 9 In Total It probably comes as no surprise that Samuel L. Jackson has a major deal with Marvel, but most people probably don't know the extent of the madness. That's to say, back when the MCU was in its earliest stages and wasn't anything of the huge behemoth that it is today, Samuel L. Jackson agreed to a deal that - back then - bordered on the downright insane. Because Jackson is still in the middle of fulfilling said contract all these years later - and there's even a possibility that they'll extend his contract when it finally comes to an end. As of Avengers: Age of Ultron, then, Jackson has just two movies left. Nick Fury remains a staple of the MCU, of course, and it's through Jackson's character that much of the glorious "world-building" aspects of the cinematic universe have been rendered. Here's hoping that when it comes time for Jackson to bow out, Marvel decide to put him right back in where he belongs - as a mainstay of the franchise.
