Marvel plans to bring back Real Mandarin and the Ten Rings in future movies

Ben Kingsley played the Mandarin in 'Iron Man 3', but it was later found out in the film that he wasn't actually the villain of the film

We hear it from Marvel Studios head himself, Kevin Feige. There are plans to bring back the real Mandarin and the Ten Rings in future Marvel films. Feige mentioned this during his recent Ask Me Anything on Reddit. He confirmed that they want to follow that plot thread that was unspooled in Iron Man 3. Your guess is as good as ours where they plan to introduce the characters might pop up. But as ComicBook.com points out, one possible place they could show up is in the Disney+ series, Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

‘Avengers: Endgame’ earns a whopping US$1.2 billion on its opening weekend

Marvel

With the hype surrounding it and just legions upon legions of fans who support the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it comes as no surprise that Avengers: Endgame has smashed box office records and pulled in US$1.2 billion globally during its opening weekend. This makes Endgame the eighth MCU film to hit the billion-dollar mark. It is the fastest any film has ever earned that much, though. Disney’s franchise films have steadily dominated the box offices when they come out. Last year’s Avengers: Infinity War earned $630 million during its opening weekend and became the fastest movie ever to cross the $1 billion mark.

The Chinese box office helped make the record happen as the opening weekend pulled in $329 million in the country. Infinity War premiered a couple of weeks later. With the film figuring as the culmination of the last 22 MCU films, it seems fitting that it is being received as well as it is. According to Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, there are at least 20 films coming up that are “completely different from anything that’s come before.”
