The Mandarin Will In Fact Be 'Iron Man 3' Villain
Marvel has been fairly coy when it comes to the identity of their 'Iron Man 3' villain. When Sir Ben Kingsley was cast, we were excited. Rumors that he would be playing The Mandarin started to whirl and circle the web like a cyclone. When word leaked that the film would derive much of it's plot from Warren Ellis' 'Extremis,' a graphic novel that heavily utilizes The Mandarin, this rumor seemed to gain a little more legitimacy. Yet still, no official word from the studio. Other villains were added and cast, still no word. Were they concerned about the racial issues with the character? Were they planning to alter the story arc? Finally, last weekend, we got our definitive answer. During the epic 'Iron Man 3' panel at San Diego Comic-Con, not only did we see footage of Sir Ben Kingsley wearing the signature ten rings, but director Shane Black verbally confirmed that he would be playing The Mandarin.
It's about damn time! This seems to be happening more and more in the age of online movie news. Someone will expose something from a film in development that happens to be absolutely correct, but the studio will refuse to confirm until they have as spectacular a forum as possible in which to "reveal" that same info. I'm not saying this is always the case, sometimes internet journos get a little overzealous and report rumors that couldn't be further from the truth as if they are written in stone. However, it does seem like the ratio of dead on to way off is tipping mightily in the former direction. All that being said, I'm glad we can finally stop using the word "supposedly" in our future 'Iron Man 3' coverage in reference to Sir Ben and The Mandarin.
What do you guys think? Did you ever really have any doubts that Kingsley would be The Mandarin?

They can actually pull off the fact that he's not of Asian ethnicity. Like Tony Stark: Mandarin??? but you're not Asian?!?!?! Mandarin: Yeah I know it's just a nickname from my American counterparts.....That simple.

I THINK BEN KINGSLEY IS THE PERFECT CHOICE FOR THE ROLE OF THE MANDRAIN. NO DOUBT ROBERT DOWNEY JR AND SIR BEN KINGSLEY WILL BRING THIS IRON MAN SERIES TO WHOLE NEW LEVEL.

Considering that Faveruau and company opted not to go with the original Asian ethnicity when it came to Stark's mentor character and likewise their captors, I see little issue continuing that vein casting Sir Ben KIngsley whop has made quite the name for himself playing Persian and Indian characters in the past( being of Indian descent). In that respect it isn't a huge stretch, for me that is. But I admit I am biased , for I have been awaiting another great performance from Sir Kingsley for some time.

Mandarin has a lot of meanings so just saying 'His name is Mandarin, how can you not talk about race?' is kind of limiting the word for your benefit in your argument. I am not going to talk about oranges mainly because the Mandarin Orange has no bearing on this but one of the other uses for the word is as a member of an elite group or a person having influence. And yes I believe there are a lot of great Chinese actors out there as well but I would love to see a few of them as leading men/women and heroes. I think that we can let one villian go just this once.

@Lawparte Race isn't close to irrelevant here, not just a shitty mashed up unachievable story of AVATAR is what ruined the flick, even though it's an American production/created show and Native, Buddhist, Hindu and Tibetan & Asian influenced meaning some casting was right on the money yet EVERY tiny nerd felt the need to think it's Asian created & influenced. Race is important, even if stupid people have problems with it, what can I say people make things relevant nowadays & not always relevance
