Ben Kingsley Iron Man 3 Mandarin not done


"It's a secret Marvel project. I'm not allowed to say any more, you're going to have to wait and see," said Sir Ben Kingsley when asked about working with Marvel Studios again. This statement comes from the veteran actor's recent promotional tour for Ender's Game. Kingsley refused to say whether that project is a return for his character from Iron Man 3 but that seems the likeliest option at this juncture.

On working with Marvel as a whole, Kingsley has nothing but praise for the film studio. "I think they have enormous taste as creative artists. There's nothing lazy or gratuitous about their work. They are at the top of their game, and they're great company to keep."

Kevin Feige was also asked about Ben's secret project but decline to comment. What do you think it could be? A return of Trevor Slattery in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron, etc.? Voice-over work for Big Hero 6? Or something else entirely?

No way he can be the Mandarin.C'mon, they showed him drink beer, lying on bed with two "accompanies" and watching football.He even got arrested in the end.It must be something else.

I think, it might be a more comedic one-shot, giving us a look at the misadventure he goes through after his rise to "fame." Or, at least, I hope that is the case...anything, but him being revealed as the REAL Mandarin!

I wish/hope that's its revealed that he was a given plastic surgery to look like the real mandarin and to act as a body double who would shoot the promos.

Makes sense if they've kept him alive.

But he should have been Mandarin in the first place.

Would it be pandering to the fan reaction of they make a one shot with him really being the mandarin. Or would it be awesome for them to give him his seemly powerless rings in jail, and him smiling at the camera.

A one shot or after credits scene of him annoying the hell out of Justin Hammer in prison.

It wasn't Man Utd - it was Liverpool FC in the film.

Only way this would make me care if his body is taken over by the spirit of the real Mandarin from ancient times or that the real Mandarin shows up and murder Trevor that's all

Hey, with Marvel expressing interest in goung the mystical route with Dr. Strange it might be possible to use this character/actor as the doorway. Who knows? With MS history of altering character origins it could be as simple as the Mandarin was urban legend adopted by Kiliian but it just so happens that his true spirit resides in the rings and somehow possess Trevor. It would make for an epic reunion with Iron Man again as he would be thinking it's Trevor just acting again.

But, it's probably just a guest appearance on AoS. Lol...

Not holding my breath on this one but it is possible they may try to retcon The Mandarin. If I remember correctly, Trevor said something about going through plastic surgery. If that was the case, it could be that Trevor was merely a body double.
