Chinese movie star Andy Lau (Infernal Affairs) is in talks to join Iron Man 3 according to Neon Punch. Easy fanboys, Lau will NOT be playing the Mandarin but a scientist who helps Tony Stark with technology to fight the main villains of the film played by Ben Kingsley and Guy Pearce according to Dark Horizons. The film will be shot on location in China after wrapping up in North Carolina.
The film is based on Iron Man Extremisand will not feature the infamous Mandarin, the Asian criminal mastermind with ten rings of power.
Here’s the Amazon link to Extremis if you’d like to get an idea of Tony’s third film adventure.
