In “The Beast,” Samuel L. Jackson takes on the role of the US President, who must control an armored limousine equipped with shotguns and grenades. The presidential role is by no means new territory for him.
According to the online magazine Deadline, Samuel L. Jackson is set to take on the role of the US President in “The Beast.” Jackson previously portrayed the President in the action-adventure film Big Game back in 2014.
There, he fights for survival in the wilderness alongside a Finnish village boy, completely unarmed and without an armored limousine. Our colleagues at Filmstarts say: This crazy action blockbuster with Samuel L. Jackson is better than its reputation.
In Big Game – The Hunt Begins, Samuel L. Jackson also played the US President:

What kind of new movie is this? The film title refers according to Deadline to the film’s core theme: “The Beast” is the name given to the Secret Service vehicle for the presidential limousine. This bulletproof defense monster is equipped with an enormous repertoire of protective measures and weapons, including grenades, shotguns, and armored panels.
The President (Samuel L. Jackson) uncovers the impressive offensive capabilities of “The Beast” when an unknown militia plans a coup against the USA.
Separated from his wife, the President must learn to control not only “The Beast” but also the monster within himself in order to save his life, that of his Secret Service agent Taft, and America.
Who is behind the film? James Madigan is set to direct “The Beast,” based on a script by Umair Aleem (“Kate,” “Extraction – Operation Condor”). Madigan has previously worked as a second unit director on films like “The Meg.”
Samuel L. Jackson has already taken on the role of the US President in “Big Game.” Most people might know him better as Nick Fury in the Marvel films, which he has played since 2008.
It is currently unclear when the filming of “The Beast” will begin. You can pass the waiting time with the new Marvel series Secret Invasion. Secret Invasion revolves around Nick Fury, who, along with Talos, is on the trail of a secret invasion of radical Skrull aliens:
