He's in negotiations to play "a pivital role" in Iron Man 3. Wonder what that means....
@samurainoir: I've never heard of that story before. Sounds interesting. Quick question, does it come before The Invincible Iron Man? Because it seems like that suit comes from this story, but I can't be certain.Last edited by Operation:Mego; Apr 18, '12, 9:05 PM.sigpic

yes, it precedes Invincible (vol 5?) when Matt Fraction takes Over as writer and eventually dismantles the Extremis armor during the fallout of Secret Invasion and Dark Reign.
I believe it launched Invincible Iron Man vol 4. My apologies, given the number of relaunches it's hard to keep track. There might even have been an interim title called Iron Man agent of SHIELD launching out of Civil War?

My hope is that Pepper gets her Rescue armour in the third movie. Gwyneth Paltrow has really made the character come alive with a great deal of charm and holding her own as a foil for Downey Jr's Tony Stark. She deserves to get some more spotlight and action.

If they could do it realistically, then I'd love to see that happen on-screen.sigpic

The new rumour seems to suggest Andy Lau might be taking a role. The fact that Iron Man 3 is a chinese coproduction is interesting to say the least. Disney is still smarting from the John Carter underperformance, and a potential audience of billions, as well as co-financing would probably be attractive To the studio, as the global box office is often much more important to action film franchises these days than just US domestic.

If this is the case, I'd love to see his Infernal Affairs (remade by Martin Scorcese as The Departed) co-star Tony Leung in the role of Mandarin, although I'm not sure how either would fare in an English language production. I'd much rather see their roles in subtitles than see them struggle with english phonetically as so many actors like Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Chow Yun Fat have experienced in their journey to Hollywood.
