We've been told that the lead villain for Iron Man 2 is "The Mandarin" --an Asian villain who controls the elements with a complete set of magic rings. But that doesn't mean they won't have a multi-villain cast, or at least be setting up Iron Man 3's lead villain in Iron Man 2.
One of the casting descriptions below seems to indicate a strong possiblity that they may be including "The Crimson Dynamo" in the Iron Man 2 sequel. And the female lead COULD be The Black Widow? Read the descriptions and take a guess as to who you think they might be.
