Samuel L. Jackson continued, “I was shooting in Canada, and Marvel came to Canada. It had been printed in the production office… They found out who it was; dude quit, left the country.

It was crazy.” He also shared about the crazy incidents of Marvel’s security shooting down drones hovering on the set of their latest series, Secret Invasion.
