The MCU just keeps getting better and better.
Interesting...But it's Latino Review. They're somewhat notorious for their rumors and "exclusives"
latino review is one of the few sources that actually gets things as they call it...

If that's true, I'll be rather disappointed.

Why?
It'd pretty much reintroduce the character as he would or should be.
Yeah but personally I prefer creatives to stick to their guns and create the work they want to. To win over an audience gradually. The minute you start doing what the audience wants you to do or what producers want you to do is when you stop being creative and interesting. You need to keep people on their toes.
By saying there is a 'real mandarin' completely undermines the entire villain of Iron Man 3. it makes it unnecessarily convoluted just because some fans didn't like Guy Pearce and a bit of superficial reinvention.
It was purely superficial because he still had a Mandarin-esque scheme, and behaviour. He's still a genius scientist placed in an elevated super-powered position. They just replaced magical rings with science. You were never going to get super wizard Mandarin in a comic book film in 2013, they all have a slight veil of realism. Even when one of those characters is the Hulk (they even changed his origin having deemed it too unbelievable). I wouldn't be surprised if they start to use modified versions of Extremis and the Super Soldier Serum to explain Dr Strange and other hero origins. They can't use the word 'mutant' so Extremis/Super Soldier becomes really handy for explaining things away in the future.
Plus 'the real Mandarin" sounds like such silly fan wank. Where has 'the real Mandarin' been? How did Killian find out about him? Why did he rip him off? Why is 'the real Mandarin' coming to get revenge? How come nobody else knew about this 'real Mandarin' when the actor was threatening the world? Why save such an important character reveal for a DVD bonus feature which most people will never see?
If this does turn out to be a true piece of content I'll be surprised, but I doubt it will have any major implications or ever referenced beyond the One Shot.
Since it was only a One Shot, I thought it would be like a faux documentary, about how a drug-addled actor wandering the streets of Croydon became the World's most wanted terrorist.
The idea of a "real" Mandarin sounds pretty silly when there was absolutely no mention or hint of his existence prior to Iron Man 3, plus Raza having one of the Ten Rings made it seem like they were going the Ultimates route of the Mandarin as a group rather than a person.
It's even sillier when Shane Black has stated that Killian is the MCU's Mandarin.

If they are doing the real Mandarin thing, it's probably because Disney had enough of the fan backlash and want to retcon that horrible plot twist
Just came back from seeing Thor and it was amazing! The after credits scene was brilliant with [SP] The Collector [/sp]

Aaron Taylor-Johnson is officially Quicksilver in Age of Ultron.
So... they're adding a major mutant character... in a world where they can't mention mutants.
Goddamnit Sony, please, PLEASE just make a deal with Disney and let them use the X-Men and Spider-Man. Can't you see the possibilities being wasted here?

Wait doesn't Fox own The X-Men? Also we can't forget about the Fantastic Four, the Silver Surfer and Daredevil. They need to be in this whole Marvel film universe too.

Even better.
Quicksilver is in both Xmen: Days of Future Past AND Avengers played by different actors.
Genius.

The marvel heroes who were cruelly fucked the most by the film industry have another chance! They can make the best movies!
So where does the Spider-Man/X-Men deal extend to? Just movies?
Cause animated shows and video games don't seem to care about it.

Ghost Rider will always be fucked. I doubt Marvel cares about the quality of any future Ghost Rider movies. His comic series got cancelled 2 years ago, after another boring Johnny Blaze bitch-fest about "being a flaming skeleton sucks, I'm gonna give this power to someone else" story line.
[editline]31st October 2013[/editline]
Wait no I remember Marvel talking about doing a new Ghost Rider comic series with a new hero named Robbie Reyes who drives a car instead of a motorcycle. Still I miss Johnny Blaze.

Sony and Fox own the Film rights only, Marvel have the rights for other media.
I'd be so disappointed if they backpedalled on the mandarin
that was goddamn cinematic genius. Best thing about Iron Man 3. Amazing plot twist that turned decades of comic books on their head. Not only that, but it was intelligent, topical satire. The movie came out in the year of "Kony 2012" in which everyone collectively came together to blame a scary foreign man for all that was bad in the world. It was perfect and it showed how scheming and manipulative Killian was to understand how to fuck with the American people like that, just give them a scary foreign man who hates America, and they'll get all patriotic and fall for it, hook line and sinker. For them to have the courage to take a villain as big as the Mandarin and sacrifice him for the sake of brilliant political satire and a huge plot twist, and it just shows absolute creative courage from Marvel. That's what we wanted, right? When Iron Man 2 was so boring and lacking any real plot strength, isn't that what everyone was asking for and craving? I guess they just can't really handle it.

I agree

Fox/Sony has the rights to a live action TV show for Xmen and Spider-Man.

yeah a great plot twist that rewarded us with a cheap laugh and yet another boring, white supervillain with a revenge plot. truly the work of a genius.
and i dont know why you brought up kony 2012 when the documentary was released almost a full year before im3
[editline]31st October 2013[/editline]
id hate it too if they made the mandarin the same as in the comics just because of the pressure from the fans, but only because of consistency
Unfortunate death in Thor 2....I'm very sad
i must (not) know who it was (before ive seen that movie)
i dont think it was even released here yet, shit
