We've got an update from IRON MAN 3, and you wont believe whos joined the cast roster!
Actor Ben Kingsley is in negotiations to play a villain in Marvel Studios' upcoming Iron Man 3...while we are excited about this news, Kingsley will not be the primary villain according to insiders.
There are conflicting reports saying there is a chance Kingsley will play fan favorite Mandarin in the sequel while others are saying sources close to the production are adamant that Kingsley will not be playing Mandarin. Marvel has revealed that Iron Man will be taking on real world adversaries in the next film, so it is possible that Kingsley could be playing a revamped version of Mandarin. We previously reported that the storyline would follow that of the "Extremis" comic with nanotechnology playing a key role in the plot. This would allow a revamped Mandarin to gain his abilities through nanotechnology rather than the ten rings.
If Mandarin does appear as a villain in the film, they will most likely have to update the character who was first introduced in 1963 as a Chinese ruler who worked with the communists. With China being one of the world's most important film markets, we don't think iron man will want to offend such an important fanbase.
Iron Man 3 is set to hit theaters on May 3rd, 2013 with Shane Black at the helm and ofcourse, Robert Downey Jr. will reprise his role of Tony Stark aka IRON MAN!!!
So what do you guys think about this casting choice? Will Kingsley be taking on the role of Mandarin or some other villain? Let us know in the comment section below and while your at it make sure you sub to our channel so that you stay in the movie know!
