The problem I have with this is the implication that it's impossible to have a Chinese villain without it being racist. It's not the ethnicity of the character that matters, it's the execution. Now if they had him follow Chinese stereotypes then yeah, it could be viewed as racist. But just because he is a villain who is Chinese and embraces his heritage... No, that doesn't it racist.

I'm glad they're putting it in a whole new direction for the 3rd.

Just calling him the Mandarin with no other name is stereotyping, though. it's like having an African villain and just calling him the Nigerian, etc.

Will Ben Kingsley actually have a name in this?

Isn't mandarin just a language though?

Yeah, Mandarin is a stereotype indeed. The problem is most Asian heroes and villain are stereotypes that the whole thing becomes an issue. I mean look at Captain America. The guy could be considered a stereotype with name and all that he represents. Difference is that there are so many different types of non-stereotyped white American characters that there is less focus on characters who's are actually stereotypes.

Mandarin - Fu Manchu of Iron Man
Amadeus Cho - super smart, with the ability to see mathematical equations
Fat Cobra - Sumo wrestler
Silver Samurai - it's in his name
Lady Deathstrike - geisha/assassin/ninja
Jubilee - shoot fireworks out of her hands
Ancient One

Still, these are some great characters though. However, there are some that aren't like Nico Minoru and Sun Fire.

😂 Can't believe I'm just seeing now how racist that is.

How is that racist? Jubilee means a joyful celebration. Fireworks and her powers make her name perfect.

Is it because of the Lee?????

No its cuz she's chinese and fireworks is kinda their thing. 😂

Turns out

Spoiler:
Pepper Potts will don her own suit of armor in Iron Man 3, likely a nod to the "Rescue" armor she had in the comics in Fraction's run.

Don't like this idea...

Apparently Iron Man is going to appear in Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Hopefully this boost the GOTG's box office numbers so we get another sequel. I'm hoping for a trilogy for this team as well.

Like to know how they're going to do the Guardians Of the Galaxy movie, Since they're not going to introduce each character with their own movie.

that seems to be false at the moment

I'm not holding out much hope for this personally, Iron Man 2 pretty much killed the entire franchise for me I think.

Changing the director makes me slightly more optimistic though.
