Ben Kingsley Will Play 'Iron Man 3' Villain

Hard to believe that filming for Shane Black's Iron Man 3 will already begin next month. With little known other than Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Don Cheadle, and Gwyneth Paltrow are all set to return, Variety is now reporting that Ben Kingsley is in final talks to join the cast as the villain. Though his character remains a mystery for now, expect further developments over the next week. Iron Man 3 will be loosely based on Warren Ellis’ “Extremis” series and is scheduled for a May 3, 2013 release.
