Best Specified Cast for James Bond Based Iron Man 4

With Iron Man 4 just on the horizon for 2018 or later due to conflicting rumors regarding Avengers 3 and what other movies are yet to be announced, Kevin Feige is planning to make it a non Iron Man comic based film with Tony Stark aka Iron Man going James Bond, and he is sure enough to have just the right kind of characters and cast members set to make the film go into place, while the plot will be decided by the crew at Marvel Studios, here is the best specified cast for the James Bond inspired Iron Man 4

Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man

Billionare philanthropist and armored avenger who is yet to expand his superhero life as a spy working against terrorist organizations like the Ten Rings and while Robert Downey Jr is on debate to reprising his role as Iron Man for the 4th film, hope has it that he will take on the real Mandarin in this film



Sean Penn as Mandarin (Real Mandarin of the Ten Rings)

While his real name is still a mystery, the Mandarin of the Ten Rings who is yet to be confirmed accurately and properly with ten magic rings of an alternate power source that deviates from the comics in Iron Man 4. While on the subject to try without the chinese stereotypes, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige will make sure that the character uses magic rings this time because last time when he chose to deny the rings and rip the fans off with Extremis powered Aldrich Killian, he totally made problems very irritating and worst. So now thanks to the one shot titled All Hail the King for having Killian debunked from being the MCU version of the Mandarin and that the character's true MCU version, the leader of the Ten Rings is still live and at large , hopefully he will have the Mandarin properly reintroduced as the magic ring blaster we totally favor so much for the fourth Iron Man film and when he does, the best actor that would fit the role as Tony's true arch enemy Mandarin without the chinese stereotypes is Sean Penn. Sean Penn may not be chinese or from the Middle East, but what suits him for the role as the characters proper Marvel Cinematic Version is not only does his facial image ressemble the Mandarin in the comics but he also resembles Ben Kingsley and his voice sounds just like the Mandarin in the first half of Iron Man 3 which would help show a supporting reason to why Aldrich Killian had Trevor Slattery created as the Mandarin we saw in Iron Man 3 and because Sean is 17 years younger than Kingsley, he should be capable of putting up a real good fight against Downey but surely if they do reintroduce the Mandarin properly with 10 magic rings this time for the James Bond plot inspired fourth film, there are sure to be plenty of steps that Kevin Feige and the Marvel Studios will be sure to take in order for that to happen while they are sure to still try without most of the character's chinese stereotypes, without spoiling the character's appearance on height and gender, without screwing him up again like they did in Iron Man 3 and not only will they need to have the powers of those rings done but also some magic based battle armor just like the one from Armored Adventures so that his battle with those rings against Iron Man look more reasonably realistic as well.


Don Cheadle as Col. James Rhodes/War Machine/Iron Patriot

Tony's best friend who occasionally helps him as War Machine/Iron Patriot will be sure to help him out on his mission to stop the Ten Rings.

Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts

Tony Stark's former assistant and girlfriend whose role in the movie is yet to be revealed

Michael Shannon as Ghost

An enemy of Iron Man with stealth technology, gadgets and martial arts skills that makes him a highly trained and very deadly assassin. In Iron Man 4 he will serve as the Mandarin's top hitman in the Ten Rings organization.

Evangeline Lilly as Wasp

While waiting confirmation for Lilly to be the Janet Pym/Wasp (as Hank Pym's daughter), Lilly was mentioned to make multiple film appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and as Wasp, her powers would make her a very suitable ally for Tony on his Bond like scouting missions in the film.

Paul Bettany as the Vision

With Paul Bettany confirmed to play the Vision in the Avengers Age of Ultron movie next year speculating that his original voice over character in the MCU Jarvis becomes the android, his computer/IT network interfacing, intangibility and molecular disruption powers would definately make him a very reliable ally to Tony on his mission in the film

Kim Kardashian as Sunset Bain

With Iron Man 4 planned as a James Bond like film, it does need women too like Kim Kardashian as Sunset Bain. Whether she'll be a villainess or a supporting character depends on what Marvel has in store for her.

Selena Gomez as Sasha (Mandarin's Daughter)

If there is anyway for Marvel Studios to ensure that the Mandarin will not be spoiled on his physical appearance and not get screwed up again like the last time in Iron Man 3, it would be to have someone included to help Iron Man convince the Mandarin to give up his life of sinister world domination after the armored avenger defeats him if he the real Mandarin is a real human being who gets the ten magic rings from a specific source of magic. Someone close to him like his daughter Sasha. In the comics, Sasha is the daughter of both the Mandarin and Justine Hammer who works with them in their sinister operations against Iron Man. But if she is introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe along with her father without the asian ethnicity, she wouldn't be a part of her father's sinister terrorist organization. She would appear as a normal and civilized human being hanging out with some friends. Reasons why is because of the three villains (Obadiah Stane/Iron Monger, Ivan Vanko/Whiplash, and Aldrich Killian/Firebrand) from the first three Iron Man movies were people connected to Tony who he also pisses off and kills which is getting too old, boring, and predictable so it would be best for the real Mandarin;s fate in the movie to differ than end up dead because we all want Tony that he is a really changed man, he not only has to defeat his next for which is the Mandarin for real this time, but to also get through to him on what must be kept the way it is and with Sasha being the daughter of Tony's greatest for, she would be needed to help him on that matter and doing so would also help bring out a specific point of view that would help make the 4th film's box office reach the billion dollar gross revenue streak proving those like Jon Favreau just how wrong he is on his doubt of having the Mandarin work right with the ten magic rings so it should be worth a shot if they're up for it.

Ty Sympkins as Harley

Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan

Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery (the fake but also failed Mandarin)

Scoot McNairy as Jackson Norris(Member of the Ten Rings loyal to the Mandarin)

If there is anyone who deserves to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's fourth Iron Man film with the Mandarin and his Ten Rings soldiers it's Jackson Norris because after seeing Soot McNairy on his performance in the Marvel One Shot for helping Marvel put an end to the irritating 9 month Aldrich Killian inconveniance by confirming that the real Mandarin is still alive, not yet introduced and real, McNairy is more than welcome to reprise his role in the fourth Iron Man film if all goes according to what is specified in this thread because we owe him that much for putting an end to this nine month nightmare

And for one optional 

Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (depends on what goes on in Captain America 3 and other films before the decision to include him comes to mind)

How will the Mandarin's Rings work if Reintroduced in Iron Man 4?

Please be advised that if you haven't seen Ben Kingsley's Marvel One Shot, please leave now and wait until you've either seen it on the Thor the Dark World DVD or leaked videos on the internet. If you have seen the one shot, then please feel free to look at this article for hints on the Mandarin's possible reintroduction for the upcoming Iron Man 4 or future Marvel One Shots.


Now since the incident on the Mandarin from last year's Iron Man 3, fans, critics, and cyber bullies have been arguing over the twist and for what controversal version of the character. Now after seeing the Marvel One Shot titled "All Hail the King", not only did we learn that not only Trevor isn't the Mandarin but best part, is that the Mandarin was never Aldrich Killian. It seems that Marvel has understood what the issue was with the treatment on the character in Iron Man 3 that caused the angry reaction from many desperate Marvel fans by ditching the ten magic rings but besides that, another good reason why is also that they didn't specifically have the terrorist cell known as the Ten Rings were never really in the film. The guys that were with Trevor in the footage that Killian fabricated onto many TV screens across the US were just actors pretending to be terrorists along with others who pretended to be people who were killed as well. So know we know that the Mandarin we saw in Iron Man 3 was only an invention made by extremis creator Aldrich Killian to hide himself from us government suspicion and he uses the terrorist organization's symbol to make them take the blame for his failed experiments therefore he frames them so that it helps him keep his activities conceiled.

Now that we have seen the one shot, we all know now that the Mandarin (his true Marvel Cinematic Version) is still out there waiting to reveal himself and that his organization is not only in Afghanistan but because the one who met up with Ivan Vanko at his home in Russia was Asian and the one who infiltrated Sea Gate prison known as Jackson Norris (one of Nighthawk's aliases) to capture Trevor Slattery and have the other terrorists help him break the actor out of jail and escort him to the Mandarin on how their leader will punish him for stealing his name which means there is now a slight chance that Kevin Feige and the rest of Marvel Studios will actually redo and reintroduce the villain as the actual leader of the Ten Rings and that they will be sure to provide him with 10 magic rings this time. Of course with Iron Man 4 being planned as a non comic based/James Bond-like film, the Mandarin cannot get his rings from an alien ship from in the comics and it cannot involve Fin Fang Foom. Instead the source of the Mandarin's rings will need to come from a different source of magic that will make the powers of those rings realistic enough to see in the MCU and luckily there is only one local source of magic available in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the powers in the Mandarin's rings to be based on without being:


Asgardian Magic

It may sound strange but with Kevin Feige planning to make the fourth film non comic based and with Thor and Iron Man in the same cinematic universe, the idea of borrowing asgardian magic and using it in support of the Mandarin's rings should be cool and acceptable, however, not only are they to project the exact same powers as shown from the comics but also what the symbols on each ring represent has to be vital and specific enough to reach the Marvel Cinematic Universe's level of meaningful point of views and there is only one Asgardian source specific enough for the rings to function as

Norn stones with the symbols of the nine realms and these are each realm symbol for each of the Mandarin's rings

Muspelheim

Midgard

Niffleheim

Nidavellir

Vanaheim

Alfheim

Svartalfheim

Jotunheim

Asgard

and if the tenth ring was needed a symbol and if there is no major tenth realm, what would the tenth ring be specifically based off of?

The Convergence









I know it's awkward for the Mandarin's rings to be based off the nine realms but when it comes to wanting Iron Man 4 to be non comic based, that involves the origins of certain characters in that movie as well and simply by combining the Mandarin's rings and the nine norn stones of asgard plus one for the convergence,you get a unique set of magic rings that would help make the powers inside them look more realistic called the Norn Rings of Asgard. And if Marvel does reintroduce the Mandarin properly equipped with magic rings without using the chinese stereotypes, some aspects of the character's back story as well as the rings must be deviated and sacrificed in order to make it happen because those are one of the reasons Marvel Studios wouldn't do them in the third film.

And to prove it this picture of Baron Zemo firing a blast from the norn stone in his hand should help

So if anyone does want Mandarin reintroduced properly with ten magic rings in hand for Iron Man 4 while depicting him as the leader of the Ten Rings, be sure to inform Kevin Feige and the rest of Marvel Studios straight away while there is still time before production of the movie begins and if anyone asks, I'm just being smart this time.

Evangeline Lilly as Wasp and Paul Bettany as Vision

Since the past few days The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug co-star Evangeline Lilly has been confirmed to play the lead female character in Marvel's Ant Man film assuming to be Janet van Dyne/Wasp and possibly as Janet Pym and Paul Bettany has been cast officially as the Marvel Comic Superhero known as the Vision. Here are some details on how the two characters these two people are playing will turn out;


Since the casting rumors on Wasp began during the production of Iron Man 2, Olivia Munn was the first person rumored to play Janet Van Dyne (the first Wasp in the Marvel comics) who was instead cast as a news reporter in that film. Next was one of Joss Whedon's people Morena Baccarin who addressed the rumors that she was more than happy to play the character in the Avengers film but even though Wasp was shown in the screenplay animation, Feige and Marvel Studios denied the character's appearance and involvement. After that, Stephanie Szostak was seen in Iron Man 3 and because of her hair style in the film she was rumored solidly to play Wasp but that eventually ended up debunked when her character's name was revealed as Ellen Brandt. Then during last fall in 2013, Rashida Jones was rumored to play the lead female role in the Ant Man film with one of her most frequent co-stars from other past films, Paul Rudd. But now with former Lost actress Evangeline Lilly confirmed and yet to be playing the female lead in the movie, Rashida's chances have now expired.



Now for some of you who aren't that familiar with Evangeline Lilly, I'll be glad to fill you in on all the popular details about her that makes her interesting for the role. Evangeline Lilly wasn't always known just for her role as one of the main characters in the Golden Globe winning TV series Lost, after the long running series ended, she appeared with Hugh Jackman in the movie Real Steel and recently played Tauriel, the lead female character in The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug and because of her performance in the dragon movie, Lilly turns out to be just the right for the role of the Ant Man film's lead female character.



Now since Michael Douglas has been cast as Hank Pym, some of don't think that she's playing Wasp because Douglas is 69 years old that some of you think that she is playing Spider-Woman or Ms. Marvel as Scott Lang's love interest, but apparently it is the Wasp Janet van Dyne she will be playing. Haven't many of you guys read some of the past news blogs on the net that some changes on some of the characters were gonna be done like Jane Foster being changed from a nurse to an astrophysicist? And did anyone not notice that he is making changes to Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, and to Tony Stark being Ultron's creator instead of Hank Pym, and let's not forget the horrible setback and betrayal that Kevin  Feige and Jon Favreau have done in Iron Man 3 last year and 3 years before then when they allowed director Shane to rip us off with Extremis powered Aldrich Killian instead of giving us the villain with the ten magic rings over garbage load of bullcrap that blinded them into believing that ditching the chinese ethnicity wasn't enough for them to get by with which was the worst example they ever made.

Anyway the point is Lilly's character doesn't need to be anyone else and it can be the Wasp Janet van Dyne. Just rework the full name of the character to Janet Pym and switch her from being the wife of Hank Pym to being the daughter of Hank Pym. I mean come on, there is nothing wrong about redirecting a specific character's love interest onto someone else because it's best for Wasp to appear as the character for Evangeline to play in the film instead of leaving her out because there have been reports that if Lilly does do the part, she will also appear in more films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, maybe even the forthcoming Iron Man 4 as a sidekick to Tony Stark helping him on his James Bond like mission to stop the bad guys, maybe and hopefully even the real Mandarin and the Ten Rings terrorist organization as well.


Now moving onto the Vision. With Paul Bettany who voices JARVIS in previous films having been officially as the Vision, it leads directly to one thing; JARVIS becomes the Vision! Now recently it was recently stated that the Vision would not appear in the Avengers Age of Ultron but whatever reason there was for Vision to be ironically confirmed just now was either his denial in the film was a hoax or that Marvel has had a recent change of heart. Still Paul Bettany is a very good choice for Vision because of how soft his voice is it makes him a perfect for the role of the character.

Now for how Vision will work in the film depends on how Whedon will have Bettany's character depicted and done in motion and even though this confirmation denies Clark Gregg's resuscitation as Agent Coulsen, it's pretty much for the best. So for now we wait and see what comees up eventually on the two of them.

Captain America 3 and Possible Age of Ultron Death Reveal

As of right now directors of Captain America the Winter Soldier confirmed that they are working on developing a third Captain America film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and with Chris Evans scheduled to reprise his role which gives us a big hint on which of the Avengers Joss Whedon intends to kill in the upcoming 2015 The Avengers Age of Ultron.


Just when the upcoming Captain America the Winter Soldier film is only 2 months and 6 days away, the directors of the film right away confirm the third installment to the first Avenger. They seem confident that the Winter Soldier film will gross over a billion dollars in revenue and from what we've seen in the first trailer, they maybe right and if so, then 2014 now has another potential film competing with other films like Transformers Age of Extinction and the Hobbit There and Back Again all the way up to the top of the box office of this year's highest grossing films.

Also with Chris Evans being confirmed to return after Age of Ultron, speculations now narrow down to the one Avenger that Whedon intends on killing off,

Black Widow



I know some of you wouldn't want a character played by a beautiful hottie like Scarlett Johansson to be killed off in the film but apparently beauty and normal martial arts skills aren't gonna be enough for her to survive. And if anyone wants to know why Black Widow would be the Avenger that director Joss Whedon intends on having Ultron kill off it's simple. Scarlett hasn't mentioned anything about returning after the Avengers sequel and hints on her death in the movie are because of Joss Whedon mentioning that her role in the movie will be big as he said that her character's role in the movie will be "significant". Some of you may doubt it but think about it.


Whedon wouldn't dare make the robot kill off the two new recruits Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver because with the two mutant siblings being in league with Baron Strucker, Marvel would need those two to survive so that we can see them more after the sequel and I'm sure that Marvel would let them return so that in the future, they can make the ultimate choice to either prove themselves as Strucker's pawns or as true noble members of the Avengers but of course if Strucker and the two siblings survive they would be intended to return for the third Captain America film in order for that to happen

Plus if the Black Widow spin-off Marvel Studios honcho Kevin Feige mentioned today is in development, it's likely to be a prequel or if it's after Age of Ultron, it will very much feature flashbacks throughout most of the film while having to recover from losing her.


And if Steven Rogers does die in the third film, then if Sebastian Stan's character survives in Captain America The Winter Soldier, then he should be able to take on the mantle as the next Captain America for the third and final Avengers film.
