With filming underway for Shane Black and Marvel's Iron Man 3, some more casting additions are being revealed. The latest one is that William Sadler has joined the impressive cast in a mysterious role. From Latino Review:

Yesterday, Guy Pearce (who will be playing Aldrich Killian) graced Wilmington for a costume fitting along with a familiar face that is as-yet-unreported. Who was that blond man wandering around the ‘Iron Man 3′ stages?

Why it was WILLIAM SADLER!

The report also reveals a little bit more info on the villains, and how exactly will they be portrayed in the film:

A movie that had both Coldblood-7, Mandarin AND Firepower would be over-packed, so look for James Badge Dale and Ashley Hamilton to be villains, but not in robo-cop and Iron Man suits respectively.

Starring Robert Downey, Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce, James Badge Dale and Rebecca Hall, Iron Man 3 is set to hit theatres on May 3, 2013.

I drove past the filming location in downtown Wilmington yesterday. Security guards on the streets and film equipment roped off outside the building. They are currently filming in the Cape Fear Men's Club next to my office.

Great addition, but we are headed into Spider-Man 3 territory with the number of villains here. I have faith that Marvel knows what they are doing, but I'm not going to lie: that's a lot of villains for one flick

Nifty. Solid actor. So long as all the villains are aligned and related to a common source without each having their own complicated origin baggage, then I think it will be okay.

The amount of villains in a movie don't matter. It's how they are written int the movie that matters. avengers was proof of this. 6 main characters and the movie worked.

[frick] -- at this rate, this movie will have more villains than Spiderman 3 and Batman & Robin combined.

When will studios learn their lesson? The maximum acceptable amount of villains in a CBM is 2.

3 is acceptable when -- AND ONLY [frick]ING WHEN -- the third villain has a small/cameo role (i.e. Zsasz in Batman Begins or Thanos in the Avengers). Don't be an idiot, Shane Black, just don't.

Batman Begins had Joe Chill, Carmine Falcone, Scarecrow, Ra's al Ghul, Mr Zsaaz, AND Rachel Dawes... and was still awesome.

Don't whine about the amount of villains. Spider-man 3 sucked because of the story. Don't call them "villains" either; they are characters. Think outside the CBM world, check out other movies that have incorporated around (or more than) a dozen characters into their story. So long as the story allows for it, it will work. The characters are just relays for the movie to progress, but they could be really cool and interesting relays.

Alright 1st it doesn't say anywhere that he is playing a villan and 2nd, Mandarin could still be in it. All they need to do is make him N.Korean instead of Chinese.

@Reverend: The Dark Knight had an absurd number of villains... Joker, Two-Face, that accountant guy who fled the country, multiple crime lords, Scarecrow, the weasel that tried to blackmail Wayne...

I also loved his Grim Reaper in Bill & Ted ... made that movie worth seeing...he gets into his roles, so I doubt it will be a small part.

Speaking of multiple villains, am I the only one who wants to see Spidey eventually take on the Sinister Six?

I think the 10 rings , Its a big organization , and if there are in the movie , it would be logical to have many villains .

This movie is getting packed with Villains. I dont remember Killenger having that big of a role.

Isn't Extremis like a tech version of the Super Soldier serum? And isn't it a virus? So if you're doing a movie about a technological virus that possibly spreads, doesn't it stand to reason that there should be multiple tech or armored individuals in that film? I mean, that's a really cool way to introduce multiple tech-based Iron Man or Marvel Universe villains without having to give them individual origins.

We've seen that the government was trying to reproduce the Super Soldier serum in other Marvel films, so Extremis could be the next step. And if the goal is to give this to soldiers, then it makes sense to have several Extremis infected people/soldiers/villains in the movie.

We've seen Tony take on multiple drones in Iron Man 2 and an alien army and leviathans in Avengers. After that, he's going to need more than just one villain to put up a challenge. He's going to need 3 or 4.

He could be an army general bent on taking out Iron Man for something Tony Stark caused.

Coldblood isn't really a villain per se'. I just have to chuckle at the people freaking out over there being "too many villains". We don't really know anything yet and as already mentioned, it all depends on how it is written and directed.

i think we'll be seeing WAR MACHINE again. and hopefully RESCUE.
Uhhhhhh
Uhhhhhh - 5/25/2012, 11:58 AM
I think Coldblood won't be a major villain. They din't even conform Coldblood, they conformed his alter ego.
Uhhhhhh

Even if he is in it, he will probably be a henchman
