IRON MAN Thread WITH SPOILERS

[Dr. Naysay]

the other thread seems to be full of people what aint seen it yet... but I wanna get some good RBS in....

So.... without further ado...




I say the next villain in either the Iron Man sequel OR the Avengers movie will be.....

THE MANDARIN!!!!



The Mandarin has ten rings... each with it's own power....


Stane paid a group called the Ten Rings to kill Stark? And the leader wanted to rule all of Asia?????

coincidence?

Psh...

wow doc...you are a true comic book geek. I tried really hard to find a pic of a character I remembered from the comics (i think) called the Black Knight. He was a very Dr.Doom ish character. But outside of Modok...the Mandarin is strongly recognized as the ultimate IM adversary. Gonna be tough though in these days of political correctness....unless they make him Korean.

But I think that the big villain in the sequel will be Tony Stark's alcoholism(irony anyone) and Rhodey becoming WarMachine. Jon Favreau is on record as saying that he has a trilogy in mind...and he has already hinted that, as a fellow geek, he wants to explore Stark's alcoholism/flaws.
Glad you enjoyed it...can't wait to see it at the Cinerama Dome tomorrow.

yeah but the Mandarin also had the long manicured fingernails...also a stereotype. I am pretty sure that Favreau wants to keep it as modern/real as possible...gonna be tough. If I remember correctly the Mandarin was already done better in the QUEEN-heavy Flash Gordon flick...yes Ming the Merciless. I just think they are going to go out of their way to make Iron Man as realistic as possible. And Modok makes a better go-to villiain. But the IRON WARS...IRONMAN vs WARMACHINE...wow what a great story to mine. And as much as I trumpet RDJ as Stark...Terrence Howard as Rhodey...you could not cast any better. And TH seems very protective of WarMachine...he wants to franchise it...

Ten........






Rings.

Good movie. Nasti was right, the fight scene at then end sucked monkey balls. Other than that, I enjoyed it for what it was.

Mikey did a good job directing it. The acting was solid and the cheese factor was at a minimum.

Saw the new TDK trailer. Just think, a superhero movie that has the same tone as Heat. That movie is going to kick some much ass.

[roenick]

My guess is Ten Rings as well. They will do PC enough it as not to offend anyone. Loved the Nick Fury and Avengers callout at the end. Samuel L. has been working this for awhile ...

I dug it. Probably the best comic book movie made for it's content and the "what-can-be" ending.

[nayagamj]

the movie was awesome!! with that said, i saw it with my friend and he didn't want to stay until the end of the credits. can someone tell me what happened? please??!!!

From all reports, Mandarin is expected to be the villain in the next movie - Favreau wanted to have the first one feel "real" but feels like a sequel can be made to go in a new direction.

On top of that, Robert Downey Jr will be in The Hulk as Tony Stark.

Tony Stark walks into his home and calls out for Jarvis who doesn't respond. There is a man staring out the window with his back to Stark. He begins talking to Stark about how he isn't the only Super-Hero in the world and how he has just entered a much bigger world he just doesn't know it yet.

Stark asks who he is.

We see that it is Samuel L. Jackson with an eye patch and he reveals that he is Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. and that he is there to talk to Stark about the Avengers Initiative.

End.

If done properly, Mandarin would be ****ing badass. Call Chow Yun Fat, Favreau. Please.

The post-credits ending made me wet.

All they have to do is make him the Cobra Commander/Osama Bin Laden type leader of The Ten Rings.

Boom done.

Oh and adgy.... care to guess at the lineup for the Avengers movie?

"A couple of weeks?" WTF? Go back this weekend. Help accelerate the franchise by pumping up the opening weekend numbers, naya!
