Samuel L. Jackson is set to star as Marvel Comic's secret agent Nick Fury. Jackson is believed to have replaced Bruce Willis as the comic book character in new movie "Iron Man," alongside Robert Downey Jr.

The "Pulp Fiction" actor reportedly shot his first scenes as the cigar-smoking, one-eyed war veteran who flies a big ship called a Helicarrier on Thursday. Nick Fury is yet another creation by Stan Lee - the man behind "Fantastic Four" and "Spiderman" - who first developed the character for Marvel Comics in 1963.
