Iron Man 3 villains revealed (massively surprising spoilers ahead)

According to Latino Review and ComicBook.com, the word in Wilmington is that Ben Kingsley does indeed play the classic Iron Man foe The Mandarin — that’s despite director Shane Black’s dismissal of the character as a racist caricature — but he won’t be the primary antagonist. Instead Guy Pearce’s geneticist Aldrich Killian will be the primary villain, with The Mandarin serving as his “silent partner.”

...

With those villainous roles apparently sorted out, we’re left with two minor criminals from Marvel comics: Lt. Col. Eric Savin (played by James Badge Dale), who becomes the cyborg Coldblood, and Firepower (Ashley Hamilton), the pilot of an experimental armored suit created by the government.

And Eric Savin has some VERY surprising armor, something more often associated with a certain Spider-Man villain (wonder what his identity will be. If he'll be that armor's identity, or if they'll pull in Detroit Steel).

All I can say is: You had me at "Coldblood." Love the character. So excited to see what they do with him. Not that Ben Kingsley isn't exciting, but Mandarin's to be expected...and he's no Coldblood.

It looks like Iron Man and Captain America's love child.

I have a feeling @Yoshi-san; will be first in line to see it.
