William Sadler Joins IRON MAN 3

Nice, loved him in Above the law/die hard 2

This dude bothered the shit out of me in the mist. But I guess that was kind of the point. Lol

Hmmm.. Laying it on thick for IM3 aye?

Interesting to see how this turns out.

Nifty. Solid actor. So long as all the villains are aligned and related to a common source without each having their own complicated origin baggage, then I think it will be okay.

Loved him In demon knight and when he played the executioner in that tales from the crypt episode. He's had a lot of good roles actually haha

Spymaster!!!

Batman Begins had Joe Chill, Carmine Falcone, Scarecrow, Ra's al Ghul, Mr Zsaaz, AND Rachel Dawes... and was still awesome.

Don't whine about the amount of villains. Spider-man 3 sucked because of the story. Don't call them "villains" either; they are characters. Think outside the CBM world, check out other movies that have incorporated around (or more than) a dozen characters into their story. So long as the story allows for it, it will work. The characters are just relays for the movie to progress, but they could be really cool and interesting relays.

@Reverend: The Dark Knight had an absurd number of villains... Joker, Two-Face, that accountant guy who fled the country, multiple crime lords, Scarecrow, the weasel that tried to blackmail Wayne...

@Chewtoy

That's right. TDK made it work with multiple villains of different ability, but you need good writing to handle it. I'm somewhat skeptical whether IM3 will pull it off, but we'll see.

I think the 10 rings , Its a big organization , and if there are in the movie , it would be logical to have many villains .

Isn't Extremis like a tech version of the Super Soldier serum? And isn't it a virus? So if you're doing a movie about a technological virus that possibly spreads, doesn't it stand to reason that there should be multiple tech or armored individuals in that film? I mean, that's a really cool way to introduce multiple tech-based Iron Man or Marvel Universe villains without having to give them individual origins.

We've seen that the government was trying to reproduce the Super Soldier serum in other Marvel films, so Extremis could be the next step. And if the goal is to give this to soldiers, then it makes sense to have several Extremis infected people/soldiers/villains in the movie.

We've seen Tony take on multiple drones in Iron Man 2 and an alien army and leviathans in Avengers. After that, he's going to need more than just one villain to put up a challenge. He's going to need 3 or 4.

All they're doing is casting. The script's already been written; and RDJ has said it's the best script he's read in six years. That includes Iron Man and the Avengers. They've already got everything they need written, and Downey Jr. is confident that it's going to be spectacular.

That and the huge budget gain the film just got?

I think this could be better than Avengers.

here's hoping for some naked tai chi!

i think we'll be seeing WAR MACHINE again. and hopefully RESCUE.

Even if he is in it, he will probably be a henchman

Blackbolt? I only say that because what would be more friggin cool than seeing Blackbolt whipser in the destruction of a city on the big screen?

No one is gonna mention it??

Ok, I will. Haywood from Shawshank!!

"Haywood, what you in for"

"Didn't do it, lawyer [frick]ed me"

he's awesome as the baddie in Die Hard 2. and also good in The Mist.

I much prefer superhero films to have just one main antagonist like The Avengers or Captain America but if they are just smaller characters in the movie like Carmine Falcone and Justin Hammer otherwise they usually end up like Spider-man 3 or Batman & Robin where they have to end up spending too much time explaining the origins and have a convoluted finale because of too divergent goals for the differing antagonists.

How freakin' cool would it be if he was Eric Williams, the GRIM REAPER, brother to Simon Williams, who Tony Stark put out of business....!

sounds like they might be doing a sort of armour wars storyline.
