Here's a nice high resolution image of Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin in Iron Man 3. In it, he's showing off his ten rings of power. Kingsley will no doubt be awesome in this role. I loved his menacing voiceover in the trailer, it didn't really even sound like him.
The movie is set to hit theaters on May 3rd, 2013, and I'm excited to see Kingsley's performance. Do you think Kingsley was a good choice for the role? If not, who do you think should have been cast?
Synopsis:
Marvel Studios’ Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?
