Ever notice Ben Kingsley is either trying to destroy the world or trying to save it?
Behold the man who helped do “absolute good” in Schindler’s List and Gandhi as he shifts into absolute bad mode for Iron Man 3 as the international terrorist known as The Mandarin.
Comic book readers are very familiar with Tony Stark’s multi-ringed nemesis, but those who know this corner of the Marvel universe only from the movies can now bow their heads in subjugation before a new acquaintance.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
I think Ben Kingsley is a fantastic actor, and I have no doubt in his abilities to play this character but I have to kinda question wether casting him in the role of The Mandarin was a good idea. I just picture someone taller and more...Chinese looking.
Hmmm, must not be a lot of great asian actors to portray the role.
IIRC in the comic tony stark was captured during a war with the chinese or some asian country so it made sense for the mandarian to be asian.
in the movie tony was captured by an iraqi/ arab terrorist group and apparently the mandarian is part of this group so i dont see why they would make him asian.
Glad to know they won't be going to E.T route that Avengers went. Just one bad ass vs another. Kingsley will do fine. He isn't chinese but the guy played Ghandi... come on.
why can't they have a villain that doesn't look like Machete for once? But he does look like the Mandarin from the comics though. I really have no idea who this villain is but based on this pic from wikipedia the actor does look like him a lot.
