The Hollywood A-lister noted it he feels like he’s been walking in his Fury's shoes ‘forever’... and they still haven't led him to Wakanda,

"If I had it my way, I would’ve been in every Marvel movie because, I mean, he is Nick Fury, he knows everything that’s going on," Jackson said.

"I’m still trying to figure out why I’ve never been to Wakanda.”

So attention Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige and Ryan Coogler: We hope you're listening up as we sure wouldn't want an angry Samuel L baying for our blood.
