Iron Man director Jon Favreau confirmed at the San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday that the villain in the movie will be fan-favorite Mandarin!

The Mandarin is one of the world's greatest scientific geniuses who is seeking world domination. Although The Mandarin has no superhuman powers, he is a superb athlete with tremendous skill in the various martial arts. For weapons, he uses ten rings he wears on his fingers that respond to his mental commands.

Marvel Studios has set a May 2, 2008 release date for Iron Man. Paramount Pictures will distribute the film.

..never read anything of Ironman..but I like superhero movies so I giving it a chance...have somebody read the comic ? what can you compare it with ? Superman, Phantom, Spiderman, Hulk.... ?

I'll see it simply because I have to see any comicbook creation on screen.
So far the track record is sadly grim.

(Not SinCity-that one is in a class by itself)

Oh and... I saw Zathura with my kids thinking it was going to be yet another kid movie to catch up on some sleep ,only to discover an enjoyable flick....for the people that were interested in seeing it,that was my take on it.

Same pic, better quality:

*slobber*

For starters Iron Man exists in the same universe as Spider-Man, Hulk, X-Men, Daredevil, and the Fantastic Four. So that gives you a starting point.

Here is a nice little bio on Iron Man.
http://www.marveldirectory.com/indiv.../i/ironman.htm

Iron Man is a great hero with terrible villains, the Mandarin who controls 10 mystic rings that each have their own power, Fin Fang Foom who is a giant dragon, and then you have a list of armor/robot villains like Crimson Dynamo, Ultimo, and Titanium Man.

But for me its going to be great to see the armored avenger on the screen!

thanks for the information...those villian sounds almost supernaturale ..what I like about those Spiderman villians is that they are almost "normal" people ...
