Iron Man 3, The Mandarin And Why This Instance of Color Blind Casting Irks Me

The main villain in the upcoming third Iron Man movie is The Mandarin. Now I am sure that with a name like The Mandarin it automatically makes you think of casting Sir Ben Kingsley in the role, right? Who else would you even think of casting aside from Kingsley?

The Daily Nerdgasm: Artist Recreation of Ant-Man Movie Test Footage


Back at the San Diego Comic Con, director Edgar Wright debuted the test footage he shot for his upcoming Ant-Man movie (still can’t believe that Ant-Man is getting a movie before The Flash and Wonder Woman) and it was raved about to no end by the select few who wwere able to squeeze into the showroom to see it. And of course all of us that were not able to schlep out to San Diego have been eager to see just what all the fuss is about but neither Marvel or Wright has seen fit to share the footage with the public at large.
Well fear not, true believers! A talented artist and comics fan, Samurai Jack, decided to do a shot for shot remake using his own artistic talent and his memory of what he saw at the San Diego Con. And let me tell ya something…this looks pretty damn spiffy as just animated line art which makes me want to see the live action footage that Wright shot even more.
So click on through to the other side to see one artist’s representation of what we have all been missing. Trust me its way cooler than anything having to do with Ant-Man has any right to be.
