"Iron Man 3" Casting News!

Here's a round up of all the casting news for the latest and well supposedly greatest (says Robert Downey Jr) "Iron Man" film,
1. Guy Pearce has signed on to play Aldrich Killian, who is a scientist who is one of the creators of the Extremis virus (this is what this film is about, the "Extremis" story from the comic books).
2. Scarlett Johannson has been confirmed to not be returning as Black Widow in the highly anticipated sequel, but I'm sure she'll pop up somewhere else in another Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film.
3. Still no news on who Sir Ben Kingsley is playing in the film, but he's still rumored to be playing The Mandarin. Though it's rumored now that The Mandarin will not be a man, but the name of a terrorist group. That's very interesting.
4. Seeing as part of "Iron Man 3" is being filmed in Japan, "Internal Affairs" actor Andy Lau is reportedly in final negotiations with Marvel to play a part in the film. He's playing one of Tony Stark's old friend, who helps him try and defeat The Mandarin terrorist group.
