Simply Marvel-lous
And we’re back with another unexpected Marvel-Tarantino tie-in. Pulp Fiction is considered by many to be a modern-day classic. So many parts of this movie have become so ingrained in popular culture that most people know of some references even if they’ve never seen the movie. (Yes, we know if you’re reading this you’ve definitely seen Pulp Fiction, don’t come for us).
Colonel Nicholas Fury’s tombstone in Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014) also has a subtle homage to Pulp Fiction. If you look closely, you’ll see that the Bible verse Ezekiel 25:17 is engraved on Fury’s tombstone. This is the verse famously recited by Samuel L. Jackson’s character in Tarantino’s cult film. Sharp movie buffs probably figured out the connection pretty quickly: Nick Fury is played by none other than Sam Jackson.
