Scoop: Iron Man 2 Plot And Villain Details

By Josh Tyler: 2008-05-06 02:41:15

Scoop: Iron Man 2 Plot And Villain Details Marvel Studios made it official yesterday, announcing that Iron Man 2 is now a sure thing. That means it’s time to start thinking about what direction they’ll go for the sequel, and don’t think for a minute that Marvel doesn’t already have plans.

Tonight I got a message from a long time friend of the site, and one of our most spot on, regular scoopers. She’s had her ears out, and tells us she knows some of the things currently being considered for the next Iron Man movie.

Apparently the Samuel L. Jackson cameo after the credits in Iron Man wasn’t just a throwaway. Our scooper says his Nick Fury character will figure prominently into the next movie. One of the plot lines being pushed for the sequel has Jackson’s Nick Fury character enlisting the help of Tony Stark in going after a terrorist called The Mandarin.

If you know anything about Iron Man outside the movie, then you know that The Mandarin is one of his most notorious villains. The movie actually alludes to him. The terrorist group which captures Tony Stark at the beginning of the film is named “The Ten Rings”, a reference to the ten rings of power the Mandarin seeks in the comics.

We don’t know if the ten rings will still be a part of the character, but our scooper does say he’ll “have a monster at his disposal by the name of Fin Fang Foom.” That might be a nice change of pace. Give Iron Man something to fight besides his mirror image in a bigger suit. Meanwhile Fin Fang Foom also plays a role in Iron Man comic lore. In the comics, he’s an extraterrestrial dragon.

In addition to new bad guys, our source says they may be planning to involve other superheroes in the film. Maybe in the form of the cameo Iron Man is supposed to do later this summer in The Incredible Hulk. Chief among those is Thor, who may show up in more than just a cameo, possibly helping Iron Man. Thor has his own movie coming out the same summer Iron Man 2 hits, so that makes a certain kind of sense. It would be a way for Marvel to get people interested in a superhero franchise which, really isn’t as high-profile. Other possible superhero cameos include Hawkeye and Black Widow.

While our source for this is tried and true, please keep in mind that none of this is final yet. It’s still very very early in the Iron Man 2 production phase. With no script yet, anything could change, and with Iron Man 2 not being released till 2010, we’re going to have plenty of time to talk about it.

    in iron man 2 the Mandarin has obviously got to be init if not that will be a grave mistake that marvel will make, but also putting in Fin Fang Foom that will be a great touch but i think other superheros should not be presented quite yet apart from War Machine whom i think should be the only next super hero to join iron man and his battles in the sequel, adding any more will be thowing away too much for future sequels to hopefully come.

  1. Mimi Says:

    isnt nick fury white?

  1. Smilin Jimmy Says:

    Actually Mimi: "Ultimate Nick Fury" was modeled after Samuel L. Jackson in the comics.

    Before that, Nick Fury was in fact white, but everything seems to be channelling more of the Ultimate Marvel Universe than anything. In this case certainly no reason not to go with Ultimate Nick Fury as the source considering the guy that inpired Ultimate Nick Fury is an actor known for not turning any role offered to him.

  1. Anon Says:

    Although Fin Fang Foom would most likely look incredible in CG, I never liked such villains. I've never seen such beasts as this make an appearence without making said beast weak. The reasons for this that I've seen is that the beast is always fought the same way. The hero is nearly losing, his love or even a good freind (or possibly, another hero,) gives him motivation or help and then the hero comes with an ass-kicking attitude. I also believe that if the "Ten Rings of Power," idea should ever come to be, it should be discouraged. Iron Man seemed to hold, in the movie, more of an idea of technology and a scientific understanding of things. Though, I suppose that this could be one of Stark's weaknesses. Disbelieving in a relatively apparent thing is a common flaw in the hero. Still, I believe that it would be better left out.
    In any case, I hope that in the sequel we get to see more of Nick Fury (Sammy Jackson) and perhaps a few scenes with him yelling.

    Mimi: In the Marvel series, ethnicity and race seem to fluctuate quite a bit. In some of the Iron Man series, Tony Stark was actually black.

    On another note: As much as I love some of the minor heroes, I really do hope that they leave some in the grave. Comic heroes are great, but some just suck.
    On another'nother note: The Avengers and Captain America are also being produced, I believe the year after Thor and Iron Man II, so in the second Iron Man, we may see, in the end of the movie, someone approaching him with an invitation to join. But we'll see.

    Happy Watching. ^,,^

    Well I don't read the Ironman comics or anything like that but I watched the movie. The movie was awesome and everything. But, like Anon said some superhero's do suck and others are awesome. I don't know who's gonna be in Ironman 2 but, i'm pretty sure that Marvel will put awesome superhero's and not some sucky ass ones.


    Peace

    I hope they don't use the "alien rings created by alien dragons" origin for Mandarin. If Mandarin is a genius who created the rings as weapons, fair enough. I'm not sure how Fing Fang Foom would work though. That mystical / extraterrestial stuff doesn't really fit with Iron Man's grounded (loosely) in the real world science hero. That's really more Thor's domain.

  1. ChaosDestroyer Says:

    I heard a bunch of people at the theaters hoping that War Machine would be in Iron Man 2. I have no objections to Captain America and the other Avengers but i would mind ar Machine myself.

  1. Jonathan Says:

    Seeing as they've really tried to ground Iron Man in reality, I highly doubt they'll have him fight an extra-terrestrial dragon. Just my thoughts.

  1. harold Says:

    Did you notice the prominent looking ring on the head terrorist in Iron Man? I wouldn't be surprised if he survived the massacre by Stane's guys.

  1. Victor Says:

    the movie was great and i hope that they due make the avengers movie only because i would love them to try to make a movie out of the civil war comic that was released not to long ago

  1. john Says:

    I really don't like Manderin. It depends how he is portrayed i guess, but he is really dull. And for god sakes no fin fang foom.

    I'm still holding out hope that the ten rings reference was a throwaway and we'll get Ultimo in the sequel. I know that maderin is the most famous Iron Man villian but lets face it, he sucks.

  1. Dragon Dude Says:

    YEA MAN IRONMAN RULES
    Ironman would be awesome if he fought a dragon tho.
    cause then that gives him the challenge of making his suit immune to FIRE.


    PEACE DUDE

  1. Tavek Says:

    Iron man 2, obvious , put in War machine, Iron man will need help,
    Villian, Mandorin, maybe say he used ot be a business partner with Obidiah and did run the 10 rings gang. Also if u have to add fing fang foom, u can then ADD thor or Hulk in it and they can do a super punch and knock out the green dragon, but other then that just keep it as mandarin, iron man & war chachine.
    Iron man 3, then yeah u can have an avengers flick and add modok & some sub par villains.

  1. stewy Says:

    Ok the only bad thing about captain america is the guy who i heard is playing captain america JOHN CENA.. are you serious hes awful he cant act. What he gunna do wave his had infront of his face all movie

  1. Ryy Says:

    Iron man ruled. Hope the head terrorist becomes the mandarin, since he didnt die after stanes attack.

    Cant wait till 2010 its gonna rule.

  1. Hennehn Says:

    Mimi, the new Nick Fury in Marvel Comics is based on Samuel L. Jackson. Marvel went to Sam and asked for permission to use his likeness for the re-make of the character. So, no Nick Fury is black. Here's a link to view him:
