Lang prefers Fury as the leader of the Howling Commandos, not S.H.I.E.L.D., and told us that his all time favorite Marvel comic book series is indeed Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos.
Lang added that Fury had a “great influence” on him when he was younger, and that he also loved Dum Dum Dugan, Fury’s best friend (who eventually joined him at S.H.I.E.L.D.): My favorite Comic Book of all the Marvel series, was always Sargent Fury and His Howling Commandos. I friggin’ loved Sargent Fury’s Howling Commandos and to me it was always like, I want to be Nick Fury.
Lang was a fan of the comic book series Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos, which ran from 1963 to 1981.
Avatar actor Stephen Lang wants a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the original Nick Fury, during his days as the leader of a band of elite soldiers (aka. the Howling Commandos) in World War II.
