When I wasn't looking, Nick Fury pulled a reverse-Michael Jackson.

Samuel L. Jackson is set to cameo as Nick Fury in Iron Man.

When Marvel created the "ultimate" version of Nick Fury, they based the character's new appearance on SLJ.

Can anyone shed more light on why Marvel changed their character designs?

Ultimate Nick Fury is a reinterpretation of the classic Marvel character Nick Fury. One of the most notable differences between the two is the fact that Classic Fury is a Caucasian colonel with brown hair, while Ultimate Fury is a bald African-American general, and was in fact specifically tailored after actor Samuel L. Jackson with his permission.

The Diva (Interviewer):
Did you know that your likeness is being used for the character of Nick Fury?

The Man (Samuel L. Jackson):
Yeah I know. We talked about it. It’s cool.


It is very clear that the Ultimate Nick Fury was based on Samuel L Jackson. I can't find anywhere that indicates that this was in preparation for Iron Man the movie, but it really makes me think they have planned on using him for a long time.
