James Badge Dale To Play Savin In 'Iron Man 3'
After a wave of 'Iron Man 3' casting news all pertaining to scientist characters, word has just come in that the film has added another villain to its roster. James Badge Dale ('The Pacific') has been cast as Savin in Shane Black's first foray into the Iron Man franchise. This is most likely a reference to Eric Savin (alias Coldblood or Coldblood-7), a former Army colonel blown to bits by a landmine and reconstructed as a cyborg via the Utlra-Tech program. Coldblood was introduced to the Marvel Universe in 1989. Sir Ben Kingsley was not-so-long-ago announced as 'Iron Man 3's main baddie, leading to a flurry of rumors that he will actually be playing Mandarin. It is not known whether Savin will be Kingsley's henchman or a third party villain. Dale just wrapped 'The Lone Ranger,' and will also be seen in the highly anticipated adaptation of Max Brooks' novel 'World War Z.'
I will level with you, all that information I just gave you on Savin had to be researched. This is a character I had never heard of before and, frankly, I have a feeling there's a reason for that. His origin story is so bland, and his only real claim to fame seems to be that he's a cyborg; wow, that's new. As this is not a character involved in Warren Ellis' 'Extremis' story arc, established to be the basis of 'Iron Man 3's script, it is hard to say how he will fit into the film. What I will say is that James Badge Dale is a fantastic, up-and-coming actor who has impressed me in both 'The Pacific' and his, albeit brief, turn in 'The Grey.' I'm interested to see if Dale is able to do something interesting with this rather flat-sounding character. What do you guys think?
Any Coldblood experts out there? Anyone want to speculate how he might fit into the film?

HOO-LEE-SHIT!!!! COLD BLOOD 7?!?!?????
the original was a Robocop-like cyborg made by the military with a high-tech car and talking computer in his head. A bit goofy and parody-like in his origin, he grew into a little-known but well developed outlaw hero, fighting rogue militaries and tech organizations like AIM. Used to love this guy.
I think I found my reason to watch this film....

Besides, if War Machine returns for Iron Man 3, they can pair off against the villains. That might be cool.

Frankly, Iron Man could do with some boosts in the villain department. Jeff Bridges was good in the first film because it kind of flowed naturally, and it was more personal. But he wasn't exactly a giant threat. Mickey Rourke was pretty much wasted potential by the end - he was cool, sure, but his fights with Iron Man lasted seconds. The robot drones did more damage than he did.
I have faith in Shane Black, and hopefully they can bring some more weight to the villain(s) in the third film.

Their is a reason why Jon Favereau isn't doing this film. Personally I'm seeing Spiderman 3 written all over this. Hopefully I'm wrong.

If I recall, Marvel said something about how now that the Avengers franchise has taken off, the future character sequels won't tie into it directly. They'll each be their own film continuing their story arcs, and Avengers 2 will go in it's own direction (meaning it will lightly tie into the previous films and not the other way around).
So basically, they can do whatever they want with Iron Man 3, Thor 2, Captain America 2, and the new Hulk franchise and not worry about having to wrangle in extra story elements.
I also think that (like the other Marvel films) this film will probably be a mash-up of a couple different story arcs from the comics, so we might see some Mandarin stuff getting mixed in with some Armor Wars elements, and then finalizing in the need for a new suit to combat that threat (which would work in the Extremis arc). Fairly easy to do story-wise. You could have The Mandarin (who will probably be changed slightly to avoid racist overtones to just being the leader of the Ten Rings) financing the theft of Stark Technology and upgrading a team of villains to keep Stark busy while they develop an Extremis-like nano-virus.

Another Marvel triquel where there is more than one bad guy? That always works out in the end.

SPOILERS KIND OF MAYBE JUST IN CASE
I don't know, it certainly seemed like Stark grew a bit more into the hero role. And obviously, Stark Tower got trashed. And his near-death experience might have an effect on Pepper. And his relationship with Shield has changed. And Dr. Banner may be working for him now. And he has a new armor he's using.
