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.

Mandarin Maybe Reintroduced in Iron Man 4

After months of irritating arguments between angry fans and selfish cyberbullying scumbags over the twist and swindling on the Mandarin, a Marvel One Shot titled All Hail the King featuring the Madarin (Trevor Slattery) has been announced for release with Thor the Dark World dvd on February 25th. Sources say that it will fix the very error that Marvel has made on the character in Iron Man 3, plus sources say that the terrorists from the original Iron Man film will be upset with their leader's name being taken by a drunken actor and to the fact that this one shot is rumored to be a prologue to Iron Man 4, hope has it that Marvel Studios may have finally came to sense and decided to reintroduce the Mandarin as the actual magic ring blaster we know from the comics and as the real leader of the Ten Rings that has not been specifically introduced yet in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Iron Man 4. To find out how a retraction on the character seems possible, please read this article to find out.

Surely before production for Iron Man 3 began, Marvel Studios was aiming to do the Mandarin in the films without being chinese. From the first film, Tony Stark was abducted  by terrorists in Afghanistan who call themselves the Ten Rings and they were said to be under the command of the Mandarin, Iron Man's greatest foe. Mandarin was suppose to appear in the first movie but was cut out from the film. During the premier of Iron Man 2, director Jon Feavreau started to criticize the Mandarin of his depiction saying that the villain wouldn't fit into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but many of us know for sure that he was wrong because people like him aren't creative enough.

On July 14th when Ben Kingsley was confirmed as the Mandarin for Iron Man 3, everyone was so excited that we we're finally gonna see Iron Man take on his arch enemy at the start of Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 2 and once the film made it's world premier in April 2013 everything was going good.

But then when we got to the middle of the film, things started to backfire when Tony finds the Mandarin in a mansion in Florida, things started going haywire when the Mandarin reveals himself as Trevor Slattery a british actor pretending to be the Mandarin, he ended up being turned into a joke and what is worse than that is that at the end of the movie, Aldrich Killian proclaims himself the real Mandarin and it got many fans upset even more when director Shane Black says that Aldrich Killian is the Mandarin's MCU version instead of doing the character properly from the comics with 10 magic rings, it ruined most of the Iron Man franchise for many fans who reacted to the twist because they have been looking forward to seeing how Iron Man's battles with the Mandarin would look in the cinematic films and now because Kevin Feige ended up completely corrupt on the character choosing to swindle us on the villain by turning down the golden opertunitty on doing the 10 magic rings for the character and by ripping us off with Extremis powered Aldrich Killian as their excuse of the Mandarin's MCU version everything is messed up because of them wanting to be unique which really really sucks.

What has gotten into them? How could Marvel Studios purposely turn down on a character so many of us enjoy so much by violating him and why? Are they to bent on wanting the setting to Iron Man 3 to be exact on real world events that they ended up believing Jon Favreau that the rings wouldn't qualify? Have they become obsessed with wanting the movie to gross a billion dollars in gross revenue just for glory and success? Were they afraid that doing the Mandarin properly as the dictator of the Afghanistanian terrorists the Ten Rings make countries in the real world start attacking ours? How else could we explain their reasons for their betrayal on the character? One thing is for sure is because of what they just did completely wrong to the Mandarin, they have made a huge mistake and now the Iron Man franchise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a complete living hell for me and many fans who were ticked off by their twist and for those of you cyber bullies who keep typing "Guy Pearce is the Mandarin" and "It didn't ruin anything" are retards making the problem worse for many others to handle and twice retarded if they try using that word against this article. Question is, why do some users online have to be so careless on accepting Killain as the Mandarin of the Marvel Cinematic Universe against our frustrations of him screwing up our exciting expectations when he did not wear the Ten Rings at all? Are they really not fans of the comics? Are they not into what would look so awesome in the film from the comics properly? Or are they being paid to collaborate with Shane Black's rip off interpretation? That is a mystery which will have to wait another day.

For now, we just got word that a Marvel One Shot titled "All Hail the King" featuring Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin/Trevor Slattery has been scheduled for release with Thor the Dark World on DVD in February this year. While it is to feature Trevor doing a documentary while in the prison he was sentenced to, Drew Pearce, who wrote the script says that the One Shot will fix the error that occured in Iron Man 3 which is hopefully the setback of Aldrich Killian being the Mandarin because the Mandarin was suppose to be leader of the terrorist cell in Afghanistan called the ten rings which means the Mandarin would have be someone native/positioned with his subordinates in that country and wears ten rings and is certainly not some extremis powered scientist from America who use to be a fan boy that Tony Stark pisses off which made him become the maniac who threatened him in the third movie.
I mean it doesn't make any sense for an american to be the leader of a terrorist organization in an enemy country and come on. Military contracts? That doesn't cut it at all. Plus none of the actual terrorists from the first Iron Man movie were seen in Iron Man 3 and do you really expect us to believe that Killian is the MCU Mandarin just by having a dragon tattoo on his chest, equipped with martial arts skills, extremis and people using people as masks theatrics? It's not enough. None of it is.

So far the Marvel One Shot is a start on fixing the problem that occured in Iron Man 3 because in the one shot, we learned that Trevor Slattery and Aldrich Killian were never the Mandarin. With word out on the net that this one shot might be a prologue to the upcoming Iron Man 4 and that some of the Ten Rings operatives not only in Afghanistan but pretty much other parts of the globe are angry that their leader's name is being used by a drunken british actor who is not really affiliated with them, and since one of them has intercepted Slattery in the Sea Gate prison and has some of the other terrorists extract him and take him to the real Mandarin of their organization this could mean only one thing, that Marvel Studios has decided to redo/reintroduce the Mandarin as the real and more specific leader of the Ten Rings for Iron Man 4 and if that happens, Shane Black's specifications of the Mandarin's MCU version being Aldrich Killian will be debunked and that we may actually get to see the real power ring blasting Mandarin from the comics in the films after all.

How would it be possible for the Mandarin to get a retraction on his Marvel Cinematic Version after what Black just specified him as in Iron Man 3, you'd ask? Well it's not everyday or every movie heroes and villains get second chances in a potential comic based cinematic franchise but after seeing what was completely out of whack in the previous film other than the disappointment of a very favorite character being screwed up and the next set of Iron Man movies planned to be non-comic based, a redo on the Mandarin does sound possible. After all, with the fourth Iron Man movie being planned as a James Bond like blockbuster, what other terrorist organization would be fit for the film for Tony Stark to deal with and who else would be fit as bond villain like foe than the real Mandarin who is yet to be properly reintroduced himself?

Now for the Mandarin to be properly reintroduced as the more specific leader of the Ten Rings, he is gonna have to be depicted in a more decent and dressed more civilized like his modern day version in the Invincible Iron Man comics 500 - 526 because of how they treated Kingsley's character in Iron Man 3, we all understand that the character cannot work properly in his classic comic inspired version, you know with the wardrobe and the idea of not making the character chinese will still stand. But when Marvel Studios does reintroduce the Mandarin in Iron Man 4, they'll be sure to the power rings for the character this time. All they need to do to make the power rings look real would involve some deviations which involves basing their powers off a different source of magic and science separate from the ones in the comics. With the film being non Iron Man comic based, the rings worn by the Mandarin will probably be Asgardian since it's so far one specific source of magic available and they wouldn't involve alien dragons being their makers otherwise they wouldn't look real enough at all in the MCU. And if Mandarin is officially reconfirmed for Iron Man 4, the actor best suitable for the role of the villain's proper version is


Sean Penn


Sean Penn maynot be chinese or native to the middle east but he is another actor in LA who bares a facial resemblance to the Mandarin just like Ben Kingsley plus his tone of voice sounds similar to the one that Kingsley made as the Mandarin in the first half of Iron Man 3 and since he is 17 years younger than Kingsley and played the ruthless mob boss Mickey Cohen in the movie Gangster Squad, he should still have plenty of strength and fight in himself to take the role as the master of the rings and battle Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man in the 4th installment. He would be almost the exact spitting image that Killian had idolized Trevor Slattery as when he had framed the actor for the suicide bombings of his failed experiments just to hide himself from the authorities and if Marvel does redo the Mandarin in Iron Man 4, they would just have it look like that everything Killian did in Iron Man 3 was not only to make his own plans succeed but to also keep Tony, Rhodey and the authorities from finding out where the real Mandarin is hiding as well.



And if Sean Penn or who else will be doing the real Mandarin in Iron Man 4, he will be depicted in a more civilized way similar to the character from the modern day comics and while wearing the 10 Asgardian power rings and running his safeguarding organization, the character's evil scheme will not indeed be based off any of the Iron Man comics but speculation has it that it may involve shutting down technology all across every major section of the planet and no it will not involve some magic jewel called the Heart of Darkness. It would involve something more modern but more high tech like missiles and bombs that can unleash a large electromagnetic pulse.

But not only will the Mandarin have his Ten Rings subordinates on his side but also a couple other villains from the Iron Man comics and also other comics in the Marvel Universe as benefactors and henchmen working for him.

Plus when the Mandarin battles Iron Man with those rings, he will need to suit up in armor so that the fight looks just as real in the films like the comics and the armor would look almost similar to the one from Iron Man Armored Adventures



All that is left now for the Mandarin yet to make his proper appearance in Iron Man 4 is what his real name should be. Well out of all the most unused characters in the Iron Man comics, there is one name suitable for this renewed version;

Kearson DeWitt who was origially the Overlord in the comics will do as the real Mandarin in Iron Man 4 and since the film is said to not be comic based, anything is possible.

But in order to find out for sure that Marvel is reintroducing the Mandarin, be sure to check out the Marvel One Shot on the Thor the Dark World DVD next month. And let's hope it's true.

Rashida Jones and Bryce Dallas Howard for Janet Van Dyne. Who will it be?

Last year during Paul Rudd's debate as Ant Man for the upcoming film named after the character himself, Rashida Jones has been tipped to play Janet Van Dyne (The Wasp) as the female lead in the upcoming movie but now after Michael Douglas' confirmation as Hank Pym, another actress named Bryce Dallas Howard, the very same person that played Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man 3 seven years ago is now another runner up for the character. So who will be doing Janet van Dyne?





Janet Van Dyne best known as the Wasp is a female superhero of the Marvel comics and one of the first five Avengers from the original comics. 

Now because the famous Michael Douglas at age 69 has been casted as Hank Pym, Janet van Dyne may have to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the love interest to Paul Rudd's Scott Lang, best known as the second Ant Man. 

At first Rashida Jones was linked to doing the role of the character but now with Bryce Dallas Howard being rumored for the character, it's time for us all to decide who we really want for the character in the film.

To make both these choices interesting for all of you Marvel movie lovers and comic book fans reading this article, I'll let you all on one little treat; their relationship with Spider-Man trilogy actor Tobey Maguire. Rashida has been in relationship with Tobey in the real world before the actor got the part as Spider-Man and Bryce Dallas Howard co-starred with him as Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man 3.

Now lets go over the two runner ups one at a time to see who would really get the part as Wasp ;

Rashida Jones has been best known for her appearances with actors Paul Rudd and Jason Segal in films like I Love You Man, Our Idiot Brother, and the Muppets and is very concerned on certain subjects in life that would be considered unbearable like sex, which is also the same subject she agreed with Selena Gomez on one time when the young singer was crying during one of her stage performances last year. That makes her responsible just like the character Wasp and with Paul Rudd casted as Ant Man Scott Lang in the 40's, Rashida would be a very reasonable choice for the female lead in the Ant Man film and without so many other projects to be working on, she should be good to go as Wasp for the film.


Now for Bryce Dallas Howard. Before she was being rumored for the female lead in the upcoming Ant Man, we all know that she played Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man 3 so if she was casted as Janet Van Dyne, she would be just like actor Chris Evans getting a part in another Marvel film after recently doing one part from a previous film. Other than Spider-Man 3 she appeared in films such as Terminator Salvation and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Even though she is rumored for Wasp, she wouldn't fit the character as good as Rashida because her beauty is starting to dry out and since she is scheduled to appear in Jurrasic World which is set to premier in June 2015, chances of her being cast as Janet van Dyne are very much unlikely to happen but we'll see if she is able to multitask or not as soon as the results turn up.

Now with all said on the two contenders, please feel free to choose who you would want for Janet van Dyne and take your time. The winner won't be decided for a while now since filming isn't to start until this April.

Recommendations for Future Upcoming Iron Man Stand Alone Film Reboot Series

For those of you that are still upset and irritated by the twist on the Mandarin in Iron Man 3 and for not getting to see some of the characters you like from the comics in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I have made this article to show how Marvel Studios would do a  rebooted Iron Man franchise simply after the MCU concludes in 2021.

Sometime after the Marvel Cinematic Universe concludes in 2021, Marvel Studios and along with Kevin Feige who may still be with Marvel should get to work on rebooting the Iron Man films in a simple stand alone series without SHIELD, without any of the other Avengers, or any other crossovers, and without being so heavily tied to real world events like terrorism or anything else that makes things difficult to be done right because that way characters like the Mandarin, Iron Man's arch enemy can function properly in the films from their proper comic book adapted versions without letting anything stop them from doing so and so that many other characters from the Iron Man comics can be brought out onto the big screen that we won't be able to see in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But of course some changes in the films on the plots are expected in order for the films to work in a refreshed superhero franchise but they can all still be adults.

The First film is expected to begin with Tony Stark being abducted by criminals who work for the Mandarin who lead him into becoming Iron Man when they were demanded to make a certain weapon or armor for the crime organization the Mandarin is running, and then with Iron Man battling Mandarin and 3 super villains hired to kill him and steal the armor which puts the hero's friends and family in danger

Now for the main cast of the rebooted film franchise

Tony Stark/Iron Man

As the protagonist of the films, Tony Stark is still the billionare playboy philanthropist we all know from the comics builds an armored suit and uses it to protect the world from various threats. But during his origin to becoming Iron Man that instead of being abducted by Terrorists in this film franchise, he will be abducted by criminals under the leadership of his arch enemy the Mandarin.

James Rhodes/War Machine

Best friend of Tony Stark, Rhodes always watches his back, but other than becoming War Machine, whether he will act as Colonel of a military force or head of a local FBI organization is unknown

Pepper Potts/Rescue

Tony's love interest who occasionally becomes Rescue

Mandarin

Iron Man's arch nemesis who will this time weild the power of 10 magic rings and due to the difficulties and excuses that provoked Marvel Studios executive producers and directors from doing the magic rings which lead them into unfairly ripping us off with extremis creator Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) as their MCU excuse
which nearly caused Feige and his crew to ruin the whole Iron Man film series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they need to make sure that the proper version of the Mandarin in this future rebooted franchise is depicted as an adult crime lord of a crime syndicate possibly the Hand, the Tong, or the Triads but definately NOT the organization named after himself in the Ultimate comics because that way Marvel Studios won't go skipping out on the rings again over stupid excuses involving racism and real world events and over such selfish disbeliefs on the rings not being realistic which is obviously an excuse that all people them care about is wanting their films to gross billions but they should know there are more important things in life than money . Plus when battling Iron Man, he'll be sure to where an armor similar to the one from Armored Adventures so that his battles with Iron Man with the ten magic rings will be much more reasonable in the films and he does not have to be too exact like his dictator version in the comics, they just need to make him look much more civilized while wearing the 10 magic rings and they don't need to avoid using the chinese stereotypes as long as they can get Mandarin done properly with the magic rings as we all favor him so much for. As the main antagonist of the whole film series, he is to be the main villain in the first film but he will appear in the sequels after that as a main character and secondary villain. Aliases of the Mandarin will be both Gene Khan and Zhang Tong.


Howard Stark

Tony's father who would act as a mentor on helping Tony use the Iron Man armor

Bethany Cabe

A member of the FBI

Villains Blizzard, Firebrand and Whiplash are to appear as villains hired by the Mandarin to capture Stark and steal the Iron Man armor

Third Movie

Fourth Film

The concluding film to the rebooted franchise, Invincible Iron Man 4 is to be based partially on the Dragon Seed Saga of the comics. It is to feature Iron Man's last battle with the Mandarin and then with the invasion of 10 alien dragons

Fin Fang Foom and 9 alien dragons

The title to all films should be worded as The Invincible Iron Man just like The Amazing Spider-Man and here are the expected character appearances and the best and directly immediate time for Marvel Studios to have the rebooted Iron Man films ready for premire in theaters is in 2024, 3 years after the Marvel Cinematic Universe ends if it does.

In the mean time make sure Kevin Feige has Marvel Cinematic Universe's Iron Man 5 set for 2020 so that he can consider putting thoughts into getting to work on the reboot
