Ben Kingsley and The Mandarin: The "Secret Marvel Project" Revealed

I'm Trevor, the Iron Man...darin.

     After reading an article about Ben Kingsley's "Secret Marvel project" short film, presumably about his Trevor "Mandarin" Slattery, and thought - HAH!  I totally CALLED IT MONTHS AGO!!!  In a blog post about Iron Man 3 back in May.  Well, alas, I am an idiot and didn't "publish" the post- but I still had it saved in a draft format- so here's small proof.


As you can also see I have almost 400 unpublished posts.  This happens a lot.

     Here's a quote I pulled from the unpublished post:

"I actually like how they handled the Mandarin character.  Some fake target to keep people's eyes away from the real danger.  But, a little piece of me wants more, I truly hope that there is a Mandarin out there that is absolutely pissed off by this identity theft and wants vengeance for his sullied name.  Maybe for the next Iron Man film???"

     Seriously, they already have Marvel aliens and Norse gods in the mix- so fitting in an ancient culture with long forgotten alien derived rings of power could be easy.  Honestly, I thought it could've been used as a nice segue into another trilogy.  Even bringing it overseas as Stark Industries expands into potential new territory.  A perfect new direction to go in.


     Any way the rumors of the One Shot short film are that the REAL Mandarin wants to remedy the legacy that has been tarnished by some nobody named Trevor. 

"According to sources, Marvel wants to make it up to fans so in the one shot, the REAL Mandarin is furious with Aldrich Killian and Ben Kingsley’s character Trevor Slattery for the mockery they made of the real Mandarin’s identity and legacy. The real Mandarin wants to set the record straight. 

Yes, the REAL Mandarin."
