Iron Man Villain Confirmed

[Evan the Shaggy]

Its the Mandarin.

[YouStayClassy]

He's a fan favorite?

[Vonn Hennigar]

I LOVE the Mandarin.

I dare anyone to say all those rings aren't some of the coolest weapons in all of fiction.

[NickT]

I liked this from the Newsarama writeup:


Favreau said that he'd been talking to Arad since he played Foggy Nelson in Daredevil, noting that Nelson occasionally represented Tony Stark...

"Not saying anything there...I mean, that's if I don't play Iron Man," the director joked.


I'd love to see more Foggy :)

[Dusty]

That's the only choice to start it off with, IMO.

[EximiusVir]

he better be a bald meditating crazy luatic commie

[moonspider]

da mandarin and da bling bling...ooh yeah

[Howlett]

Honestly, this was pretty much a no brainer. To me, having an IM movie without the Mandarin as the lead villain would to me, be like having the first Spider-Man without the Green Goblin or X-Men without Magneto. Mandarin is Iron Man's big bad, or at least he was for the best part of 40 years.

[Vonn Hennigar]

Before anyone complains just imagine... Ken Watanabe, Business Suit Mandarin with those sweet sweet rings.

* Left Pinkie -- "Ice Blast," with which he could encase foes in bands of ice or create walls of ice to block pursuers.
* Left Ring Finger -- "Mento-Intensifier," which amplifies the Mandarin's own mental energies and allows him to control the minds of others.
* Left Middle Finger -- "Electro Blast," unleashing powerful lightning-like bolts.
* Left Index Finger -- "Flame Blast," a flamethrower-like gout of flame.
* Left Thumb -- "White Light," a laser-like beam.
* Right Thumb -- "Matter Rearranger," which can rearrange the atoms and molecules of a substance. The Mandarin usually uses this ring to change the shape of objects, such as causing a giant stone hand to erupt out of the earth and grapple a foe. He has, however, used it to transmute the molecular composition of objects, such as changing the air around a target into a poisonous gas.
* Right Index Finger -- "Impact Beam," a blast of concussive or gravitational force.
* Right Middle Finger -- "Vortex Beam," allows Mandarin to control air and wind, allowing him to fly.
* Right Ring Finger -- "Disintegration Beam." Unlike the others, this Ring requires a twenty minute recharge time between firings.
* Right Pinkie -- "Black Light," which can create areas of absolute blackness.

I have no idea who any of those are.

[Vonn Hennigar]

I have no idea who any of those are.

Even the Top 3?

Hang your head in shame;-)

To be fair though in the last 10 years Iron Man's rogue's gallery has been prety non-existant. But in the 80's = Magnifique!

No wonder I have never read Iron Man.

[Modok Gas]

I have no idea who any of those are.Of course if you have never read Iron Man . . .

[Ray G.]

He'll make a damn fun villain to watch if they do him right.

[Sy-Klone]

The Mandarin is the only choice, as far as I'm concerned.

What really makes it funny is that it can be interpreted two different ways...

• Iron Man's greatest villain is his ongoing battle with alcoholism.

• Iron Man's greatest villain is an empty bottle.

HOLY SHIT!

[Modok Gas]

I hope the Mandarin is treated better than Dr. Doom.

Adi Granov is God! But i'm pretty sure this isn't the REAL poster as in one that's going to ship to theatres more of a mock-up for the fanboys is San Diego.

But i could be wrong.

[Modok Gas]

I like the jaw in the poster. It reminds me of him :

yeah but remember, his art is gonna be the inspiration for the armor....so it could be this, or something very similar, so im digging it like hell!

Looks like Ultron came on his face:mistrust:

Seriously WTF?

[Scott Dubin]

Isn't the Mandarin character kind of racist?

I remember recently reading an interview where one of the Marvel editors, might be the current one on Iron-man, saying that they didn't want to use Mandarin anymore for that reason!

I think the evil corporation who killed Iron-man's parents would have made a better villian. They could hire a bunch of villians to take him out, like in Busiek's "The Iron Age"

Oh well, the Fantastic Four movie was kind of Xenophobic, with the heroes basically shouting "Go back to your own country, Dr. Doom!!! USA!!! USA!!!!" at the end, so why not have a racist, xenophobic Iron-man?

Maybe Mandarin can be an illegal immegrant, and Tony Stark will do his duty as a modern Republican, giving him a superpowered deportation?

Or how about Ironman fight Tequilla Gundam for control of the border? He can fight a giant robot with a sombrero and alcoholism at the same time.

[KingMob]

Or how about Ironman fight Tequilla Gundam? (Yes, that's a sombrero).

[EximiusVir]

IRON-VENOM!!

[Justin.Strange]

Has Iron Man ever fought Venom? Hmm...

[Captain Nate]

But i could be wrong.

Yeah, it's just a mock-up. The design of the armor isn't finalized. But it will have a circle on the chest, not a triangle.

[Captain Nate]

Has Iron Man ever fought Venom? Hmm...

Even the Hulk and Superman have fought Venom.

[bartleby]

Before anyone complains just imagine... Ken Watanabe, Business Suit Mandarin with those sweet sweet rings.

I like Watanabe, but I don't see him doing this so soon after playing a similar comic book villain in BATMAN BEGINS.



My pick....
