Samuel L. Jackson said in one of his interviews that he would had 'sued' Marvel for using his likeness. This was on the 'Alan Carr' show on Channel 4 UK
This came about, when there was a 'Fan Poll' in one of the Marvel comics; don't know which one?
In that poll, the fans asked who would they like to see Nick Fury be played by, they said S.L.J
Anyhow, S.L.J knew of this, as he's a comic head himself. So he approached Marvel, to which they'd struck out a deal for him to play him in several roles. Instead of him suing them for use of 'Likeness'.
Bizarre, but true!
