New purported plot details for Iron Man 3 reveal the role China plays in the Marvel sequel. Just in case these rumors prove true then consider this a SPOILER warning.
We've known for awhile that Infernal Affairs and House of Flying Daggers star Andy Lau was going to be in Iron Man 3. Now this Andy Lau fan site points out a video report from China's Apple Daily that claims Lau will play a friend of Tony Stark's in China who will help him in his battle against the Mandarin.
The report further claims Iron Man has come to China to rescue a friend's daughter who was kidnapped in America and brought overseas. Chinese actresses Bingbing Fan is said to have been cast as Lau's wife and Yang Mi as his assistant.
The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley's not-so-secret villain role) has reportedly been altered from his comic book roots so as to not harm the Chinese image. (Iron Man 3 is a Chinese co-production.)
Iron Man 3 begins shooting in North Carolina before moving on to Beijing and Shanghai. The movie will reportedly see Iron Man fly over the Great Wall of China, the National Palace Museum and various landmarks in Shanghai.
Thanks to Latino Review and CBM for the head's-up!
