Ben Kingsley As Mandarin?! Discuss.

I am Coming After you Tony Stark

Its early and we love to hate. Lets hope that they can do Good and make it bad ass. He's not asian and I'm sure there were lots of other qualified actors.

But this is nothing new since Hollywood never gets asians typed casted correctly.

Charlie Chan, David Carradine and John Wayne arent really chinese.

But for some of you that havent seen the early shots of Mr. Kingsley, here you go:

It'll probably turn out fine. Marvel knows what they're doing with these movies.

Kingsley played an Asian in Gandhi and did it fairly well, so I don't see what your problem is.

Even on the big screen the cgi doesn't look very cgi-ish. I have super high hopes for this.
