Afro Samurai, starring….Samuel L. Jackson. That’s right folks, Samuel L. will not only battle Snakes on a Plane this year, he will also provide his unique vocal talents for a new anime that’ll appear on SpikeTV.

According to Sci-Fi channel:

“Jackson is providing the voice of Afro, an African-American samurai warrior who, in a futuristic feudal Japan, seeks to avenge the death of his father, who was slain before Afro’s eyes when he was a boy. In addition to playing Afro, Jackson is co-producing Afro Samurai with the Japanese animation entity GDH and Takashi “Bob” Okazaki, creator of Afro Samurai. A live-action version of Afro Samurai is also in the works, with Jackson reportedly attached to star. “

Hehe, I can imagine the dialogue now:

Afro: “What country you from?”

Soon-to-be-dead-samurai: “Nani?”

Afro: “Nani? Nani ain’t no country I ever heard of, do they speak English in Nani?”

Soon-to-be-dead-samurai: “N…Nani?”

Afro: “English motherfucker, do you speak it?!!?”
