Mandarin Might Still Reappear as the Villain in Iron Man 3?

I know we're jumping ahead here, since Iron Man 2 is another six months out, but this a pretty good story, even though it's not necessarily something we haven't heard before. Actor Faran Tahir, who played Raza, the mysterious leader of the 10 Rings in the first Iron Man, was interviewed by Moviefone UK recently for Star Trek (he plays Captain Robau in that). The interviewer jokingly says that he's probably always asked about Mandarin and Iron Man 3, yet continues to ask the question. However, Tahir's answer hints that the villain Mandarin might still pop up in the third movie, whenever it gets made sometime in the future. "Jon Favreau and [the producers] are not stupid. They're also listening in on all of this and wanting to get the pulse of where the audience is. But at some point, they want to introduce Mandarin into the storyline and my character, ...

Jon Favreau Will Not Direct The Avengers

Speculation has swirled about whether or not Jon Favreau would direct The Avengers for Marvel after he finishes Iron Man 2. Now we know the answer: he will not. And furthermore, Ed Norton will not appear in Iron Man 2. So there. MTV talked to Favreau about The Avengers while he was promoting Couples Retreat, and his statement about directing the film was quite clear: They'll have to [find a different director], because I'm not going to be available. It's something I'm being the executive producer on, so I'll definitely have input and a say.  Its going to be hard, because I was so involved in creating the world of Iron Man and Iron Man is very much a tech-based hero, and then with Avengers youre going to be introducing some supernatural aspects because of Thor. How you mix the two of those works very well in the comic books, but its ...

Many a fanboy has expressed their hopes of Disney crossing Marvel characters into their universes, whether it be a Pixar made Marvel superhero film or Mickey Mouse sporting an Iron Man costume.

The Women of Iron Man

Iron Man 2 has me pumped and raring to go, but we're still pretty far off from the May 2010 release date. So until then I'll have to satisfy myself with these cast interviews with the ladies of Iron Man. First up we have Gwyneth Paltrow who played Pepper Potts in the original film. She explains that her character, who is the assistant to Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark, has plenty of sexual tension with her boss but that she still feels threatened by new hire Natasha Romanoff. Ah Natasha aka Black Widow, who can forget to mention that redheaded beauty played by Scarlett Johansson? Not us, and certainly not ET. They spoke to Johansson about what it was like to join the "boys' club" of Iron Man. You can check out both interviews below, courtesy of ET.     Source: ET Online
