Samuel Jackson says talks have stalled

The latest news making the rounds today is that Samuel L. Jackson might be dropped from the upcoming Marvel Studios films Iron Man 2, Captain America and The Avengers. Jackson, who first appeared as Nick Fury at the end of Iron Man, tells LA Times’ Hero Complex:
“I saw ['Iron Man' and 'Iron Man 2' director] Jon Favreau at the Scream Awards and we had a conversation. He said, ‘I hope things are working out for you because we’re writing stuff for you.’ Then all of a sudden last week I talked to my agents and manager and things aren’t really working that well.”
…
“There was a huge kind of negotiation that broke down. I don’t know. Maybe I won’t be Nick Fury. Maybe somebody else will be Nick Fury or maybe Nick Fury won’t be in it. There seems to be an economic crisis in the Marvel Comics world so [they're saying to me], ‘We’re not making that deal.’”
