Funny becaise he's not asian at least not this version.

I actually assume the casting partly was in fact to avoid that particular problem.

Good actor regardless, so hopes are high.

I feel Iron Man 2 WAS the weakest film in Marvel's Phase One, but it's one of those things where, even their Weakest link felt rather strong to me.

So, hopefully, since this is the start of Phase Two, they won't be bogged down by HAVING to shoehorn in a whole bunch of references and setups.

I squealed like a fangirl on a sugar high when it was announced they were doing Extremis. I REALLY can't wait to see where they run with the concept.

I'm looking forward to this movie, but I'm curious if it's going to deal with the problems brought up in 2.

Part of why I didn't like 2 is that the movie brought up some interesting tidbits that would've made for a better movie, but didn't really… do anything about them.

For example, nations all over the world were trying to replicate the Iron Man suit and failing, but it showed how much of an influence Stark's inventions had, especially with the coming of the suit. And now that the U.S. Army got ahold of one of the prototypes and made War Machine, what's to say the U.S. Army didn't make back ups? And other nations could've fought, capture, and disassemble some and make some of their own.

Just a gripe of mine, and of how the story could've been. Maybe we'll see some of that in 3, and maybe more of a resolve as well.

Ben Kingsley is half-Indian. So his Asian aspect is still there.

Poor Iron Man 2 bore the burden of having to set up practically everything for the Avengers. Now that that's over, it's got more freedom.

True but the original Mandarin was chinese but hey different interpretation.

[Enzeru]

Wolverine scheduled for next summer and now I read about a third Iron Man movie... life's good :]

[Demon Rin]

I think they're trying to run as far away from his Chinese origins as they possibly can. The original version of the Mandarin was about as Racistey as you can get without going full-on blackface.

[Satsuki]

Which makes Ben Kingsley a great choice. Not only is he an awesome actor (he's got a freaking knighthood!), but his half-Indian side gives him that sense of exotic-ness that's part of the Mandarin without seeming racist.

The dude played Gandhi, what more do you want?

If anyone hasn't seen it, the comic con panel is all up on youtube:

One of these years, maybe we'll get Rescue. Seems like they've certainly discussed it a lot.

Well on Iron Man: Armored Adventures the just introduced Pepper as Rescue...it's possible that this is a hint about more Rescue in the future?

*Looks at Rocket Raccoon from MvC3

[CaptainKid]

Ironman 2 was not as good as Ironman. I'm hoping 3 will be better, Rourke's character was a lot better in trailers than in the movie. Still Ironman 2 is better than the other Avenger's movies (I haven't seen Captain America). So is Ironman 3 before or after the Avengers or are they going to pretend like Avengers never happened

[Waffles]

It's after. Marvel is now on to "Phase 2"

[CaptainKid]

Thanks. So what other movies are they doing, I've heard they are doing Thor 2 but haven't heard much in the way of Hulk or Captain America

[Waffles]

Thor 2 which will be called Thor: The Dark World, Captain America 2 which will be titled Captain America Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Ant-Man

[LightningAce]

She only finally became Rescue and then the series ended and was canceled, because of the new 1 coming out.

[Shuhan]

oh...well...didn't know that...

[LightningAce]

Actually, my mistake. There is no confirmation on it actually being canceled ( yay )

phew, don't scare me like that...I had just gotten back into it...

[LightningAce]

phew, don't scare me like that...I had just gotten back into it...

well it had been said the serires had been canceled on wiki and many other websites, but now wiki is saying, the ending of the season 2 episode had on it 'Season Finale'.

[Ghosty Crabber]

I wonder how they're gonna do the Mandarin's ring powers, hopefully it won't look stupid.
