You know the whole ultimate line is kind of a unique concept. To my knowledge and I havne't got that many ultimates, but to my knowledge it's not necessarily a alternate world like DC's Earth 2 is it?
So it sort of exists off by itself. It's like Marvel wanted to revamp their universe but just in case let's keep the old continuity going at the same time.
That way they can have a black and white Nick Fury just in case they can get Samuel L. Jackson to play him, which Jackson has recently shown some interest in the role. I saw that coming I think the first time I read the Ultimate Avengers book.
Samuel L. Jackson -
"I see [Marvel movie producer] Avi Arad a lot, because we live in the same neighborhood," Jackson said. "I express my interest in [working with him]. I always wanted to be Iron Man, because he was always like the rich dude who created this whole thing." He's not really kept as a superhero, he just creates stuff to make himself a superhero as a rich guy." Although an "Iron Man" film is on Marvel's fast-track, Jackson is doubtful that he'd ever be asked to play Tony Stark. The actor is, however, hopeful that Arad will listen to his pleas regarding another veteran Marvel hero with a film in development who was recently given a comic-book makeover to resemble none other than ... Samuel L. Jackson! "Nick Fury would be great," Jackson said of the hard-boiled S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. "I've been reading Nick Fury since when I was a kid. I collect comics. ... I'm kind of geeky."
