Variety reports that Ashley Hamilton is in talks to play the villainous Firepower in Iron Man 3, yet another villain Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark/Iron Man will presumably face off against in the upcoming threequel. The role is described as being a minor one, so whether or not he will actually suit up as the armoured bad guy remains to be seen. In the comic books, Jack Taggart takes part in a government program (Project: Firepower) to control rogue super beings, and was trained on a simulator learning to operate an experimental suit in order to take down Iron Man. The film is reportedly based on the "Extremis" storyline.

If I'm not wrong, Firepower was in armor wars, very brief, but well, enough of armor enemies god damnit! give us some different iron man style

So Mandarin, Coldblood, Firepower, and the Ten Rings are all in this?

My bad, so that's five villains in one movie...

I remember Firepower from Armour Wars! I always wondered if he'd ever get the movie treatment.

And Jack is African American in the comics. So well, big change using Ashley there

And yet we can't get the Sinister Six in a Spidey film.

Don't worry guys, Coldblood and Firepower are way to low level to be anything more than henchmen/cannon fodder. They're probably just more of a physical threat to match Mandarin's intellectual villainy...

I'm actually thinking Colblood and Killian aren't going to be villains in this, just new additions to the cast.

Even so there are a LOT of new characters in this movie.

In Ironman the leader of the group the was holding Tony Stark for ransom had a ring and that group was part of the Ten Rings. Maybe each villain will have a ring and a group of there own and they will all work for The Mandarin.

...what? Armor Wars maybe? Turning Iron Man villains into generic exploding suits... Sounding too much like the Transformers & GI Joe films, just throwing character names at actors that don't match and getting something that has no resemblance of the source.

Another villain in a metal suit? *yawn*, I was tired of it halfway through Ironman 2.

@CatwomanTDKR -- Ashley is not just a girl's name. Ever read or see Gone With the Wind? Ashley Wilkes was a major character and Scarlett O'Hara's first crush.

Good work having a postage stamp sized picture of the actor.

He's probably a villain used to just open the movie with and introduce Iron Man? He could also be a henchman for the Mandarin along with Coldblood. Those two villains are quite odd choices but they could make for some fun fight scenes.

Not liking the viallian choices. Weren't the Hammer drones kind of like the Firepower squad. And if it's Jack Taggart, then isn't that just like the last two films? Iron Man fights a bigger silver-coloured version of himself?

@ Owlman I want Ghost too, and as for Pearce he's playing Aldrich Killian, so we are simply assuming he is one judging by the character he is playing. He could very well be just a supporting character or something, we don't know entirely yet.

? so the avengers had alot of heroes and this one might have more villans? if avengers can do it iron man 3 can do it right?

So it's sounding like the big villain (Mandarin?) has a bunch of minions he sends Iron Man's way, before the final confrontation? Kind of like a Mario Bros game?

Either this movie is gonna be THE SHIT or it will be shit. With so many villains and such a great cast, if they make some crazy story then it could be mind-blowing.

Ugh, I hope his appearance is EXTREMELY brief. Getting a bit redundant seeing Stark face off against yet another villain in an armored suit.
SudsMerrick

I can see Stark getting over powered by an onsolaught of armored terrorists getting mortally wounded and having to dose extremis by the end of the first act.

I doubt all these supervillians are in it. Marvel is just throwing names out into the world to throw us all off to who really is the villain.

You know, next to nothing is officially known about this movie, and this article even flat out says this character will have a minor rolw, yet people complain about an armored villain like he's going to be the big bad or something.
