I would be surprised if The Mandarin's ring are magic instead of tech. I see them as being ten mini arc reactors like the ones Stark made.
And then Iron Man would fight ten guys in armors powered by them.
That would really disappoint me. If the movie Mandarin isn't magic-based, then he shoudln't be called "the Mandarin." In this case, they should do what they did in 2 and create a new character that takes elements from other characters from the comics... the way Vanko was a new character made up of elements from Whiplash and Crimson Dynamo.
'Iron Man 3' will be sequel to 'Thor' and 'The Avengers'
Iron Man director Jon Favreau has spoken about his plans for Iron Man 3. He has stated that the next instalment in the franchise will be a continuation of other Marvel stories such as Thor, Hulk, Captain America and The Avengers.
Speaking to MTV News promoting new film Cowboys & Aliens, the director (and bit-part actor) discussed how the story of Iron Man 3 would be dependent on the fall-out of the other Marvel movies coming out next year.
"Kevin Feige, who’s been involved with superhero movies with Marvel movies since the X-Men films, is very aware of his path and how to weave [things together]," he said.
He added: "So in theory, Iron Man 3 is going to be a sequel or continuation of Thor, Hulk, Captain America and Avengers… this whole world… I have no idea what it is. I don’t think they do either, from conversations I’ve had with those guys."
Whilst Favreau hasn't officially committed to the project, Iron Man 3 is scheduled for release on May 3, 2013.
Shane Black, writer and director of Lethal Weapon, is being lined up to write and direct Iron Man 3. Last year Jon Favreau, director of 2008's Iron Man and its 2010 sequel, announced that he wouldn't be returning to direct the third film.
Now Hollywoodreporter.com reports that, while Black's hiring is "far from a sure thing", he has been in talks with Marvel Studios owners Disney about writing and directing the new film.
The screenwriter's other credits include scripts for 1991's The Last Boy Scout, 1996's The Long Kiss Goodnight and the first two Lethal Weapon films. His 2005 directorial debut, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, starred Iron Man lead Robert Downey Jr.
If Black does secure the job it could be the first time the Iron Man team have began shooting one of the films with a completed script. It's been reported that, in a bid to get the first two films out on time, the first film and it's sequel began shooting without a finished script.
Jeff Bridges, who starred in the first movie, revealed that at times the actors were making things up as they went along. "They had no script, man!" he said. "They had an outline. We would show up for big scenes every day and we wouldn’t know what we were going to say."
Sloppy journalism. If nothing else, you'd think the writer would have been tipped off by the "His 2005 directorial debut..." that, maybe, just maybe, he didn't direct Lethal Weapon.
EXCLUSIVE: The ever secretive Marvel Studios is in final negotiations with Shane Black to direct Iron Man 3 set to be released on May 3, 2013. As you know, IM1 and IM2 director Jon Favreau begged off to helm Magic Kingdom at Disney so his relationship with the franchise ran its course. Shane is first and foremost a writer but it's not clear whether he'll be penning the IM3 script as well. "That's not figured out," our source says. Of course, everyone in and around Marvel is keeping mum. But Black has a long relationship with Robert Downey Jr since Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. Not only did Shane make his directing debut on the 2005 cult favorite he co-wrote, but it helped re-launch Downey Jr’s career. When news leaked out that Marvel was meeting with several directors including Shane, fanboys approved. So they should exult now that negotiations are wrapping up with Black's agency WME and manager David Greenblatt's GreenLit Creative. We recall the days way back when that unknown Black submitted a spec script over the transom to Greenblatt who was then a young ICM lit agent. Greenblatt in those days read scripts by wannabes and the two became an inseparable team that continues to this day. (For the uninitiated, Greenblatt was one of the founders of Endeavor, which is now WME.) Black was the screenwriter behind Lethal Weapon 1 and 2 and The Last Boy Scout, and, in the 1980s and 1990s one of the highest paid writers in the action genre. He then decided to go have a life and segue into directing as well. Shane is back and busy now. He's working on Doc Savage, Sony's action project based on the classic pulp hero, and Warner Bros Warner Bros recently hired him to direct a live action adaptation of the Japanese manga series Death Note and oversee a script that’s being written by Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry, his accomplices on Doc Savage. So let this be a lesson to all you agents who get so arrogant about out-of-the-blue submissions: read every wannabe's screenplay you can get your hands on.
