Kingsley in talks for 'Iron Man 3' villain
Insiders deny thesp would play the Mandarin

Ben Kingsley is in final talks to play the villain in Marvel Studios and Disney's "Iron Man 3," but fans of the comicbook character will be disappointed to learn he won't take on original Tony Stark archenemy the Mandarin.

Though insiders acknowledged Kingsley's involvement to Variety, Marvel declined to comment on the deal, and insiders denied that the character would be the Mandarin, a wealthy Chinese scientist and martial arts expert who, by backing the warlord who imprisoned Stark, was indirectly responsible for his creating Iron Man.

Instead, Kingsley's character is involved in the spread of a virus through nanobots, given that "Iron Man 3" is loosely based on Warren Ellis' six-issue "Extremis" comicbook series first published in 2005. That arc -- which also heavily influenced the first "Iron Man" pic -- introduced a new origin story and focused heavily on nanotechnology.

Still, the Mandarin character was widely suspected to be in play, as "Iron Man" and "Iron Man 2" helmer Jon Favreau had indicated an interest in tackling the character in the franchise's third installment. But Favreau has moved on and Shane Black is taking over the helm, as well as co-writing the script with Drew Pearce. Production begins in May, with lensing to take place around North Carolina.

Robert Downey Jr. will reprise his role as Stark and Iron Man, with Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and Scarlett Johansson also set to return to the franchise. The first "Iron Man" earned $585 million worldwide, while the sequel generated $624 million around the globe.

Disney has skedded "Iron Man 3" for May 3, 2013.

Louis D'Esposito will executive produce "Iron Man 3" for Marvel Studios, with Stan Lee and Charles Newirth. Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige will produce the pic with Avi Arad.

Kingsley, who most recently starred in Martin Scorsese's "Hugo," will next be seen in Paramount's "The Dictator" with Sacha Baron Cohen.

Thesp is repped by CAA and the UK's Independent Talent Group.

Ya la estan filmando? y ese traje!? sera alguna parodia/tributo al Cap?o simplemente un atento de vender mas juguetes? Espero que le den mas pelota a la (buena) accion y a la coherencia argumental de la pelicula antes que a las armaduritas que aparecen al dope.

Es el Iron Patriot



Acaso piensan meter a Norman Osborn en la trama?

The armor is being worn by James Badge Dale, who plays Eric Savin in the feature film. First announced earlier this month, Savin becomes, in the comic books, the cyborg villain Coldbood. At this point it is unknown whether or not we'll see the actor in multiple costumes or if Coldblood and Iron Patriot are being merged into one character.

Here’s what we can CONFIRM as true (and not from some guy working security on an off-lot shoot): The Mandarin (as played by Ben Kingsley) is a villain in the ‘Iron Man 3,’ but he’s more a veiled threat as a silent partner to Guy Pearce’s Aldrich Killian. Killian is the man inventing Extremis and putting it into his “Extremis army” of multiple super-powered individuals.

Still no word on exactly how many Extremis soldiers we’ll see, but I’m sticking to my theory that the Coldblood-7 and Firepower casting will not be traditional comics versions of those characters, but instead names they’ve given to Extremis soldiers.

No es tan asi Shonen, pero es de todos modos bastante volado...


Me gusta la idea del Mandarin, como un personaje oscuro y no como el Fumanchu de los comics, y un personaje que funde Iron patriot y un cyborg... digamos que zafa...

PD: Extremis era la armadura que implicaba nanomaquinas autoreparadoras dentro del cuerpo de Tony no?
