It's 2012 and Hollywood is still Whitewashing characters. Your telling me you couldn't find a Chinese Actor to play the Mandarin? Really Hollywood? SMH:

Outside of that, I like the trailer. Movie looks really depressing and Dark for Tony. Looks like he's going to lose most of the movie only to come back and win the day. I also like how Shane Black who's a REAL ACTION writer (Lethal Weapon, The Last Boyscout, Long Kiss Goodnight) not only wrote it but directed it. Looks solid. But this whitewashing thing has to stop. Thank God "The Wolverine" actually has a Japanese actor playing the Silver Samurai.

Stark the God :lawd:

Definitely be looking forward to this one. Looks like they're touching a bit on the armor evolution as well.

They specifically went away from casting a Chinese actor due to some of the more stereotypical elements of "The Mandarin". Both Jon Faveru and Shane Black made comments regarding The mandarin's more "problematic" elements.

It should also be noted that Disney and Marvel are co-producing this film with a chinese company. DMG entertain will co finance and distribute the film in China.

Marvel is definitely going to be getting more criticism for the lack of minority representation in their films. Having a few Black and Asian sidekicks isn't going to cut it.

*edit*

Also Ben Kingsly is half Indian (South Asian)

Are they gonna explain why the other Avengers wont show up to help if Iron Man is getting whipped this badly?

:aicmon: the same way they don't in the comics . Cap does his spy/ shield stuff
Thor is in Asgard , hulk is .... Idk took a bus from penn station , black widow and hawkeye fukking , fury too busy cloning coulson.

They mention new York , it's probably cause they don't have communicators yet and he got warmachine for backup . It's just they don't premptively know when Tony going to get his asswhooped they assume he can handle it. Hope pepper isn't dead that house blew up brehs

I like Ben Kingsley (he's a really good actor) but I wonder why they didn't go with an Asian actor for the Mandarin?
Its not like Kingsely is a box office draw or anything.

Yoooooo! Someone commented "This looks like Ironman Rises" looks like this film is taking a darker tone. When that Ironman suit came and snatched up Pepper outta the bed :krs:
