Tony Stark uses his ingenuity to fight those who destroyed his private world and soon goes up against his most powerful enemy yet: the Mandarin.
Tony Stark finds himself facing his most powerful enemy yet when he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible for destroying his private world. Along the way, he discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: "Does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?"
Co-writer/director Shane Black begins the Mainland China portion of his Iron Man 3 shoot today, even though Marvel remains in the process of filing for co-producer status (alongside the film’s Chinese distributor, DMG Entertainment). Deadline is confirming that Wang has joined the production, but describes his involvement as “a new character” referred to as Dr. Wu (who is not expected to play “a huge part” in the proceedings).
Now, this update doesn’t, per se, discount the Radioactive Man theory entirely. For starters, Marvel heads like their secrets and are willing to go the whole nine yards to preserve them. (Remember those denials that Kingsley is the main villain in IM3?) Moreover, when Lau was onboard, his role was said to be (via Twitch) “a Chinese scientist who comes to the aid of his old buddy Tony Stark”; it wasn’t until after his departure that the Chen Lu claims popped up. That might mean the role has been altered for Wang; it could also mean that “Dr. Wu” is just a cover meant to keep the seasoned Chinese actor’s (whom Deadline calls “the Sean Connery of China”) real identity in the film under wraps.
Wang Xueqi is playing ‘Dr. Wu’ in ‘Iron Man 3′
Wang playing Radioactive Man also makes sense from a shared movie universe perspective, as the character does have a hot/cold relationship with Ant-Man from the comics due to his shifting alliances over the years (and there remains a strong chance the IM3 post-credits scene will introduce Henry Pym). Either way, it’s long been acknowledged that Wang won’t be a major player in the third Iron Man flick; though, again, that raises questions concerning why a Chinese A-lister is being recruited for a bit role – unless, it could blossom into something bigger in the future…
What do you make of all this? Speculate away in the comments section!

Iron Man 3 is directed by Shane Black, based on a screenplay he co-wrote with Drew Pearce. It stars Robert Downey Jr., Ben Kingsley, Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow, Guy Pearce, Jon Favreau, Rebecca Hall, William Sadler, James Badge Dale, Xueqi Wang and the voice of Paul Bettany.
Iron Man 3 releases May 3rd, 2013, Thor: The Dark World on November 8th, 2013, Captain America: The Winter Soldier on April 4th, 2014, Guardians of the Galaxy on August 1st, 2014, The Avengers 2 on May 1st, 2015 and Ant-Man on November 6th, 2015.
Iron Man 3 is an upcoming American superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Iron Man, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It will be the sequel to Iron Man and Iron Man 2, and the seventh installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, being the first major release in that franchise since the crossover film The Avengers. Shane Black is set to direct a screenplay he co-wrote with Drew Pearce, which will be based on the "Extremis" story arc by Warren Ellis. Jon Favreau, who directed the first two films, serves as executive producer, along with Kevin Feige. Robert Downey, Jr. reprises his role as Tony Stark, with Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle and Favreau reprising their roles as Pepper Potts, James Rhodes and Happy Hogan, respectively. Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Stephanie Szostak, James Badge Dale and Ben Kingsley round out the film's principal cast.
After the release of Iron Man 2, The Walt Disney Company, Marvel Entertainment's new corporate parent, agreed to pay Paramount Pictures, the distributor of the first two Iron Man films, $115 million for the worldwide distribution rights to both Iron Man 3 and The Avengers. Favreau decided not to return as director, and in February 2011 Black was hired as the film's director. Throughout April and May 2012, the film's supporting cast was filled out, with Kingsley, Pearce, and Hall brought in to portray key roles. Filming began on May 23, 2012 and it was shot primarily in North Carolina, with additional filming in Florida and China. Iron Man 3 is scheduled to be released on May 3, 2013, and the film will be converted to 3D in post-production.

I’m still surprised at how well Taken did at the box office. I liked it, but I never thought it would gross $145 million domestically.
The first poster for the inevitable sequel, cleverly titled Taken 2, has debuted over at Empire, but you can see it below.
Liam Neeson returns as Bryan Mills, the retired CIA agent with a particular set of skills who stopped at nothing to save his daughter Kim from Albanian kidnappers. When the father of one of the kidnappers swears revenge and takes Bryan and his wife hostage during their family vacation in Istanbul, Bryan enlists Kim to help them escape, and uses the same advanced level of special forces tactics to get his family to safety and systematically take out the kidnappers one by one.
From that synopsis it seems like this should be title Taken Too.
Taken 2 hits theatres October 5th.

Sony Pictures has released a motion and non-motion poster for Len Wiseman‘s remake of Total Recall. The posters comes in advance of the teaser trailer’s debut set for April 1st on ABC during the Celtics-Heat game. An extended trailer will then premiere on Apple. Total Recall opens in theaters on August 3rd, 2012.
Total Recall is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick. Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he’s got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston), the leader of the free world – Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) to find the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy) and stop Cohaagen. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate.
The remake is directed by Len Wiseman and stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bill Nighy, John Cho, Ethan Hawke and Bryan Cranston. Total Recall will open in theaters on August 3rd, 2012.

First HD Trailer of Cabin in the Woods Movie. After being delayed for over two years, The Cabin in the Woods will finally premiered at SXSW in the United States. Directed by Drew Goddard (Cloverfield and 9 Lost episodes writer) and written by Goddard and Joss Whedon (The Avengers writer and director) we can expect nothing but great and intense story. The short story line gives us almost nothing especially when we talk about horror genre: “Five friends go for a break at a remote cabin in the woods, where they get more than they bargained for. At first glance the scenario might look a little too familiar. Really? Don’t worry, that’s just Joss working his magic. The trailer starts out like this, but quickly dives into some weird sci-fi stuff.Together, they must discover the truth behind "The Cabin in the Woods.”
