Iron Man 3 has The Iron Patriot

Did you really need to post an unspoilered rundown of the entire plot?

ops sorry, i wasn't clear! That is NOT the plot of the movie, it's not even necessarily related. It's just a Mandarin plot from the comic books that i thought related well to what was being talked here, it's from the Character page on Wikipedia.

Ah right, just as well then, I was trying not to read too much of it in case it was.

I thought all we really knew about Ben Kingsley was he was playing a villain and people thought he might play the Mandarin. There are a lot of obviously false rumors whirling around this production and I pay them as much heed as I did assertions that the main villain of The Dark Knight Rises was going to be the Riddler (supposedly WB executives did indeed talk about having it be the Riddler but nothing solid ever was created, and of course we know the truth now). I won't believe anything about Iron Man 3 until I see actual documented proof (like the above picture) or official confirmations, or at least a rumor that sort of sounds like it might be for real (the rumors for the Mandarin are really stupid sounding at this point).
