Samuel L. Jackson, aka Nick Fury of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is one of Hollywood’s most recognized actors. He is not only one of the most prolific but also among the highest-paid actors in the industry. Jackson has starred in more than 150 movies, including live-action features and animated flicks. He has worked with many notable filmmakers and has achieved numerous accolades over the years.
Jackson gained recognition with movies like School Daze and Do the Right Thing, but his breakthrough came with Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. he won the BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Jules Winnfield in the cult classic film by Tarantino. He has worked with Tarantino in a few other films as well. Before the MCU, he was also a part of another popular film franchise. Samuel played Jedi Mace Windu in the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
As per The Numbers, Samuel L Jackson has appeared in 54 movies as a lead actor and has a $4.58 billion worldwide aggregate box office. However, his last few films have not done so well financially. Argylle and The Marvels were big box office duds leaving a bad impression in the actor’s filmography for the last five years. His movies have grossed around over $28 billion at the worldwide box office. The MCU films alone have brought him great fortune, and he is still an integral part of the universe, yet the last movie starring Samuel was a big flop.
