"Ladies, children… sheep. Some people call me a terrorist, I consider myself a teacher." What. A. Badass. Marvel has unveiled the fourth character poster (via Facebook) for Iron Man 3, another one we have to feature. This time the "mysterious" Mandarin, played by Sir Ben Kingsley, gets his own poster, and his own chair, and some incense, and a really nifty jacket, and his own temple. Considering the last two were really bad character poses, this is a big step up, which makes complete sense considering it is The Mandarin and he is going to kick Iron Man's ass all over the place this summer. Going to be awesome! Check him out.
Update: Here's an uncropped shot of Mandarin via Empire, showing more of his room (+hidden details):
Iron Man 3 is directed by Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) working from a script that he co-wrote with Drew Pearce. Actor Robert Downey Jr. returns as Tony Stark and Iron Man in this sequel described as a technological crisis thriller in the midst of international war, taking place after the events of The Avengers. Sir Ben Kinglsey is playing Iron Man's arch nemesis Mandarin and Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Dale Dickey, Ashley Hamilton, James Badge Dale and Jon Favreau all co-star in the Marvel Studios production. Disney is bringing Marvel's Iron Man 3 to theaters starting May 3rd this year.

The only thing missing from it are big gold chains around his neck and drifts of dollar bills at his feet.

Wow, this looks hilarious. It's a combination of Fidel Castro and Pitbull. Very bad costume design and pose.

Jack Sparrow's uncle.

My take is, since the room is full of trophies, those are Stark's glasses.

That's it, Stark's sunglasses. The helmet, any idea?

That was my first thought when I saw it...of course it would be an "old" Cap helmet...interesting. Think it is done to throw a little misdirection our way?

There was an article I read that did a scene by scene of the first trailer to IR3 and in one of the scenes, when Mandarin is taking off his hood or something, on the back of his neck is a tattoo of Capt's shield but instead of a star in the middle it was the letter "A" (whatever that means). So maybe the helmet is Capt's.

That image really threw me for a loop when I first saw it after the trailer was released. I try to stay away from any plot description stuff outside the trailers, so I haven't read much of anything about the tattoo. However, it paired with this new image of the blue helmet is very interesting indeed! If it truly is Cap's helmet and not a Blueberry UN helmet, there could be some epic story stuff coming our way very soon...

Here's a screen grab of Cap's from the movie...although as others have pointed out, it does resemble a UN Peacekeeper helmet...which is more likely I think.
