Iron Man Director on Sequel Villain

While he may not have been signed on for the Iron Man sequel, director Jon Favreau is blogging to his fans, revealing plans for villains in the forthcoming film. Favreau revealed that “The Mandarin is Iron Man’s nemesis and will be incorporated in the sequel.” However, he is also apprehensive about adding a magician to the world of technology, noting that a “Fu Manchu style villain with magical/alien tech rings would seem out of place.”
He also said, "I’ve already mentioned War Machine and Mandarin. I have some ideas, but I really need to sit down with Downey and the Marvel guys before we say much more." Favreau, when asked about the return of War Machine, replied with a jab at Marvel: “Do characters ever really die in Marvel? Isn’t it like a soap opera?"
The Iron Man sequel is not due out anytime soon, so there’s still a long way to go before deciding on the villain, but personally I’d pay to see the Hulk and Iron Man square off against each other.
