The Marvels star Iman Vellani shared a funny behind-the-scenes moment from the set, which involved meeting Samuel L. Jackson for the first time.Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Vellani described meeting the Nick Fury actor as a very weird experience because she was just so starstruck by Jackson’s presence, leading her to hide behind The Marvels director Nia DaCosta. “Yes, but I was so in a state of utter shock that he exists beyond a 16:9 frame,” she recalled. “It was so weird to see him in real life and to see his legs and how tall he is and his swagger when he walks. It was very, very weird. When he came onto set for the first time, he said hi to everyone and shook their hands, and I hid behind Nia, our director. I was way too freaked out. So she was wrestling with me to try to get me in front of her.”Vellani revealed that it was the Oscar winner who approached her first by giving her the “biggest bear hug that I’ve [she have] ever experienced in my [her] life,” which helped her soothe out her nerves during filming scenes with the Marvel vet. “It was so warm and welcoming,” she said. “So, after that, I was pretty okay, but in all the scenes with Sam, you’ll notice that I’m talking much quieter. I was just like, “I’m treading lightly here. I don’t want to disrupt this man’s process or anything.” (Laughs.) But he’s very easy to work with, and he loves Nick Fury so much. It was wonderful.”The Marvels Director Doubles Down on Infinity War Being Captain America’s Fault
