Samuel L. Jackson is glad to be pals again with frequent collaborator Spike Lee.The Marvel actor, 74, began feuding with the Oscar-winning filmmaker, 66, back in 1992 after they had a fight over Jackson’s salary for the epic “Malcolm X.”The “Pulp Fiction” star was actually set to star as Baines — a character that Albert Hall was later cast in — for Lee’s drama about the civil rights activist.Jackson got candid about how his dispute with the “BlacKkKlansman” director came about in a recent chat with Vulture.“I actually read with most of the people who auditioned for ‘Malcolm X.’ But it was still down to that Spike Lee scale-plus-10 salary thing,” Jackson said, referring to the system created by the Screen Actors Guild that allows 10% of an actor’s paycheck to go to their agent.

We stand by our reporting and will be robustly defending our journalism.”After the news of the allegations surfaced, ITV made the decision to pull the finale of Clarke’s Viewpoint.
