Samuel L. Jackson Says Marvel Shoots Down Drones Who Spy on MCU Projects
Samuel L. Jackson, who has played Nick Fury in the MCU since the post-credits scene of the very first phase one film, Iron Man (2008), has finally gotten his own story with the Disney+ show, Secret Invasion. Being in so many Marvel films and series, Jackson has kept his fair share of Marvel secrets, and he talks about the constant effort being made by the studio to put a stop to people trying to get intel to sell to the media, including paparazzi flying drones onto sets.
Jackson explained to Entertainment Weekly, "They shot one down. And they followed one back to where the dude was. They found him and, yeah, they got him."
He went on to recall another crazy story from the first Avengers film shoot:
"I remember when we got ready to do Avengers, someone printed out a copy of my Avengers script that had my watermark on it, and put it online for sale. 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. They set up a fake buy for the script, dude didn't show up. It was crazy."
I bet it is a wild process keeping all the secrets and future plans of the franchises quiet. I wonder if the studio has employed a sharp shooter to keep an eye out for those drones. How do I get that job?
