Interesting if they're going to blend extremis and the Mandarin. Could be a pretty sweet direction to take =)

Dude looks totally villainous as Peter Weyland in Prometheus.

Gonna be a great bad guy!

FANTASTIC!!!!

I'm very cautious on Ben Kingsley (can be a force of nature.........e.g. "Sexy Beast".......or go the other direction and be far too hammy for my taste "Prince of Persia")

but Pearce is pure talent. this is fantastic news.

RedSkull667 - 4/20/2012, 11:52 AM
Bad choice
He could have been in MCU movie in a bigger movie

Anyways he is the chief researcher for FuturePharm
I wonder what will his role
RedSkull667
RedSkull667 - 4/20/2012, 11:56 AM
BTW isnt FuturePharm related as a group trying to developing Super Soldier Serum
Why are they doing this again ? didn't that ended up with Incredible Hulk


May be they reveal that Blonsky Serum was developed by these guys

Marvel is so cheap! They only got Guy Pierce and Kingsley. I prefer Johnny Depp and Christopher Plummer. /sarcasm
RedSkull667
RedSkull667 - 4/20/2012, 11:57 AM
Also Aldrich Killian had a very small part. I think he shoots himself

guy pearce should be playing a high profile villain like a lex luthor

I love how comics book movies are being taken seriously by actors and directors now. Its so good for us fans. I can't wait to see this movie. The Mandarin/Extremis storyline is one of iron mans bests I hope they go that route and not just warrens Ellis extremis storyline.
sexfoodcomics
sexfoodcomics - 4/20/2012, 12:12 PM
@p862010. If you noticed guy peirc's career, he doesn't take roles like that. I'm sure his role in iron man is going to be important and in depth.
tazmaniak
tazmaniak - 4/20/2012, 12:18 PM
@sexfoodcomics, that's because a lot of actors and directors are looking for franchises and comic book movies have built in franchise potential.

I can't recall the actor, but I was reading a recent article where someone was saying that Hollywood isn't making regular big budget summer action films anymore.They're making superhero movies, instead.They're the new summer blockbusters.So you'd better jump onboard.

One of the most under rated actors in the last decade. He is fantastic. RDJ, Ben Kingsley and Guy Pearce?? Love it!
superotherside
superotherside - 4/20/2012, 12:24 PM
I really can't wait for this movie. Bring on the trailer!
TheLokey1
TheLokey1 - 4/20/2012, 12:24 PM
I wonder if they are planning on combining the Killian and Mallen characters. That would help streamline the story a little bit and give the movie a cool second act battle before the (hopefully) Mandarin finale
SotNatt
SotNatt - 4/20/2012, 12:25 PM
@RedSkull667 He does shoot himself. -__-

I'm a little irked by this. Guy Pearce, who is one of the world's most underrated actors, once again becomes a part of something major and will end up getting killed before the story even reaches its finish.

It drove me insane to see him in The Hurt Locker only to watch him drown in his own blood five minutes into the damn thing!

I hate knowing that, as Killian, that's all he has to look forward to. Blowing his brains out.

Hopefully they'll expand on his character, in IM3. Fingers[frick]ingcrossed.

Good cast so far!

Ha1frican - 4/20/2012, 12:31 PM
Would have preferred him for Doc Strange but hey im glad he is in the MCU in some capacity. Marvel has been lining up great casts through and through for the MCU.
SkinnyOne
SkinnyOne - 4/20/2012, 12:32 PM
Good casting choice. I wonder who's playing Mallen

Wow, they're assembling an impressive cast here!

MarkV - 4/20/2012, 12:41 PM
Guy Pearce would have been a great Bruce Banner!

@itsbarry - Dude, don't start that.

Please. Nolanites normally are the ones who start this kinda shit. We don't need that.
GiantNerd
GiantNerd - 4/20/2012, 12:57 PM
This damn good news. I think guy pierce is a great addition to any movie, especially a movie with Ben Kingsley and Robert Downey jr.
superpooper
superpooper - 4/20/2012, 12:58 PM
@itsbarry lol...I just logged in to say exactly what you just said. Stole the words right out of my mouth. Bastid. Lol. He would be an awesome DD.

superpooper - 4/20/2012, 1:01 PM
@jimoakley666 Agreed. Extremis is pushing it.
