How Iron Man 4 Can Do Better than Iron Man 3

While Iron Man 4 is yet to happen, recent reports claim that it may already be in production and set to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 3. Now, before Kevin Feige and his staff even gets started with the film, everything in this article is what we want him to include in Iron Man 4 and it has to be sent over to him straight away!


While Kevin Feige is intending to make Iron Man 4 a James Bond like film, Tony Stark aka Iron Man is needed back and Robert Downey Jr. needs to reprise his roll for the following reasons



*He is the #1 spitting image of Tony Stark in real life and has been good with kids since the 2012 convention and since he invited children to his personal slumber party to watch Captain America the Winter Soldier

* He still has to deal with the Ten Rings

* And most importantly of all, he still has to take on his true arch enemy Mandarin of the Ten Rings in the Marvel Cinematic Universe


Yeah, I've said it before and I'll say it again, after seeing what just went down in both Iron Man 3 and the Marvel One Shot All Hail the King, Mandarin and I mean the "Real" Mandarin of the Ten Rings must happen in Iron Man 4 because with the Marvel Cinematic Universe being planned to last up to 2028, it's no use waiting for a reboot to happen sooner so if Iron Man 4 happens, so should the Mandarin for real this time.

Now, like I mentioned in the previous articles, the Mandarin for Iron Man 4 has to possess the ten magic rings and he has to look a lot more decent than Trevor Slattery who was mistaken to be the villain in Iron Man 3 and he can't be wearing a wardrobe. Plus when he is battling Iron Man with those rings, he is sure to be wearing magic enhanced battle armor like the one from Iron Man armored adventures and since most major aspects are similar to the MCU's true version of the Mandarin, and since Jackson Norris mentioned the was an original Mandarin who ruled Mankind for Generations and the one Mandarin that he works for today, there is a strong possibility that the Mandarin of the Ten Rings will battle Iron Man in the fourth film with magic rings and magic armor.

Now for the Mandarin's rings, since Marvel didn't feel like doing them from the comics where they are found inside an alien space ship, they are gonna have to relocate where the Mandarin of the Marvel Cinematic Universe gets them from before building his army named after his ten rings and the powers of his rings maybe composed of Asgardian magic with symbols on nine of them representing the nine realms and one of them representing the convergence.

And because it was mentioned that Alrich Killian had Trevor Slattery impersonate the Mandarin while shooting scenes of him committing terrorist threats on the media, the real Mandarin of the Ten Rings who bear a facial resemblance to Slattery but without the hairy beard and wicked ponytail. And he is sure to have a similar tone of voice that Kingsley made in the first half of Iron Man 3. Above all there is only one actor fit to do the role of the Mandarin in Iron Man 4 or one Asian actor who would be approved and approproiate enough if the Mandarin from the comics is as real as they say in the MCU

Sean Penn or Lee Byung Hun

Surely Sean Penn may not be chinese or arabic but since the Ten Rings operative Jackson Norris was played by American actor Scoot McNairy, it looks like Marvel may still try doing the character without his usual chinese ethnicity but sure enough they will do the magic rings this time. And where ever the Sean Penn''s character will be stationed at on Earth as the Mandarin, it is not likely to be anywhere within Asia or if the real Mandarin of the Ten Rings is Asian and has just inspired people in the Middle East like the original one from earlier times and is not a dictator in Afghanistan , Byung Hun Lee is the best choice on portraying the character in his original chinese ethnicity and what ever the villains master scheme will be, it's gonna be big.


Now for some more needed cast members and characters for the movie


Don Cheadle will be expected to reprise his role as War Machine/Iron Patriot


Gwyneth Paltrow maybe up to playing Pepper Potts again


Ty Simpkins as Harley


Michael Shannon should be cast as the Ghost who will serve as one of the Mandarin's top enforcers and assassins

Incase 2 exclusive Iron Man villains isn't enough, Killer Shike should appear as another one of the Mandarin's assassins played by Ray Park

Cobie Smulders may reprise her role as Maria Hill for the film since she was last seen in Captain America the Winter Soldier working in an office with a glass window having the Stark Industries Word Logo incarved on it and there would be a small chance that she will be teaming up with Stark against Mandarin and his ten rings and teach him some self defense moves too



Jon Favreau for Happy Hogan



Morena Baccarin as the Mandarin's wife


Selena Gomez as Sasha, Mandarin's daughter

Kim Kardashian as Sunset Bain

Scoot McNairy deserves a welcome back on reprising his role as Jackson Norris for helping put the false and irritating Aldrich Killian as the "Mandarin" rumors to an end by confirming that the real Mandarin of the Ten Rings is still out there in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slatter who was the fake and failed Mandarin of Iron Man 3 who shall return acting as prisoner to the real Mandarin and the real Ten Rings

Now to make this movie a lot more fun, Marvel Studios should incorporate some character, heroes and villains from other Marvel Cinematic films and here is who they should include:

Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier


Evangeline Lilly as The Wasp

Paul Bettany as The Vision

Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch


Aaron Taylor Johnson as Quicksilver



Benedict Cumberbatch as Fin Fang Foom

For his performance as Smaug in the Hobbit films, Cumberbatch should be the cinematic dragon expert Marvel needs to have Fin Fang Foom work out in the films. The one thing that will be different on Fin Fang Foom's Marvel Cinematic version is that he will also act as the Marvel Cinematic Franchise and surely he will be a guardian of the rings the Mandarin obtains but with Iron Man 4 being a Bond like film, Foom is highly unlikely to be an antagonist to Iron Man but more of a supporting character.

Thomas Kretschman as Baron Strucker


Frank Grillo as Crossbones (optional if available)



If HYDRA appears with the Ten Rings in the film, there is a strong chance that the two terrorist organizations will take each other on in an all out war in certain areas of the globe and Tony must uncover the Mandarin's ultimate plot before it's too late. Because HYDRA has compromised SHIELD because of Arnim Zola uploading his brain into a computer and corrupting some officials with lies, this would give the Mandarin of the Ten Rings in the Marvel Cinematic Universe a good reason for having a big distaste for technology and for why he would form his own terrorist organization named after his rings so that Hydra doesn't succeed on taking over the world and would put complete control over the world in his hands.


Think of all this in the article on how the heroes can get all the obstacles of villains out of the way before they will be ready for the main event in Avengers 3.

Please know that we cannot allow Marvel to ignore the second opertunity on getting the Mandarin done right with power rings this time and go off track with other stuff because we all want to see the proper iconic fight between the Mandarin and Iron Man and since the One Shot confirms that the real Mandarin is still at large, we have to make sure that they do the real Mandarin of the Ten Rings for Iron Man 4 and with ten magic rings in hand. So if you're all up to wanting that to happen, I strongly suggest we get in touch with Kevin Feige and Marvel right now and have them use as much of the information here in this article as they can so we can be happy to get what we want and it will save us all time and trouble waiting and grieving. Now let's get this done while there is still time. No slacking around or.
