Iron Man 3's Villain....
Dang. And here I was hoping for Fin Fang Foom.
Edit: Though Kingsley certainly could bring a certain gravitas to classic Foomisms like "Fin Fang Foom will put you in his pants."

Interesting. Extremis was a good story, but it seems like it would have to change a lot to fit as a sequel to IM2.
I never really read the comic and knew Iron Man mostly through crossovers, but I did read Extremis, which was ok. I hate retcons, but if I ever had the chance to write the comic, the whole armour-stored-in-his-bones thing would be gone by the first page of the first issue I wrote. I hope they don't stick that it the movie.

That sucks that it won't be Mandrin. They even had the "Ten rings" terrorist group in Iron Man I to set it up. I was picturing Chow Yun Fat or someone in a wig with some wicked kung-fu magic ring action, and yes, Fin fang foom. Maybe we will get that for Avengers 2.
I never read the Extremus story by Ellis, but I did watch the motion comic on Netflix. What bad guy would Kingsly play? The infected guy that went on the rampage or a whole new villian?
@Joshua.
Man oh man, I can't wait for this too come out, if it's going too be the final Iron Man Movie, it's gotta be memorable!

...will be played by Ben Kingsley. But he's not the Mandarin. Looks like IM3 will be based on the Extremis storyline from 2005.
