Terrence Howard won’t return for the sequel to Jon Favreau’s action hit “Iron Man,” but guess who will: Samuel L. Jackson.

The folks over at LatinoReview say Jackson confirmed his appearance in “Iron Man 2” at a press junket for his upcoming comedy “Soul Men.”

Jackson said he recently spoke with Favreau and agreed to show up in the anticipated sequel. He didn’t comment on what role he would be playing and how big it would be.

Well, considering Jackson popped up as Nick Fury at the end of the first film’s credits, it would be silly not have him reprise this role. I guess that’s awesome news for Fury fans, right?

In related “Iron Man 2” news, Terrence Howard officially commented on him not returning as Jim Rhodes.

Here’s what Howard said on NPR: “It was the surprise of a lifetime. There was no explanation. I read something in the trades that implicated it was about money or something but apparently the contracts that we write and sign aren't worth the paper that they're printed on.”
