What Iron Man Villains Will You Like To See In The Sequel?

[Armored Avenger]

Spymaster could be really good in a film, if done correctly.
And i dont see why the Mandarin can not be included. He is a great villain, and i have always liked him.
If political correctness and sterotypes are putting off the filmakers, then they can make the Mandarin like his more recent comic apperances, when he is much more of a manipulating skillful business man, with a mystical element to him, rather than the traditional magical supervillain. He has also gotten rid of the green robes in recent issues and is instead wearing a dark green suit.

M.O.D.O.K, A.I.M, Spy Master, or The Crimson Dynamo would be cool. Maybe if there is an Iron Man 2, The Black Widow could be introduced, and then spun off into her own film.

Crimson Dynamo, Iron Monger, & Titanium Man are all very similar. The only way TM &CD would work is as part of an Armor Wars story(that way you'd expect Iron Man to be facing lots of armored adversaries). But Spymaster, the Ghost, Mandarin, Madame Masque, Whiplash, *Justin Hammer, etc. work well since they're quite dis-similar from Iron Monger. I'm sure there are more, but those are the ones that stand out in my mind.

*And yes Justin Hammer IS similar to Obadiah Stane somewhat, but he never put on a suit of armor and fought Iron Man directly. I could see both he and Stane as being part of a cabal that includes the Mandarin in a whole illegal arms dealer type scenario.

I Agree, What about Titanium Man, M.O.D.O.K., Controller or Blacklash?

[Gatchamanjp]

I would have The Crimson Dynamo as the villain in Iron Man 2, after an overzealous KGB official stole Stark Industries tech to impress the Russian President and allow them to design their own Iron Man. The Cold War may be over, but Russia is re-emerging as a world power and thus it would make sense to include Russia as an enemy of American capitalist Tony Stark. The Black Widow would also be included as she could be asked to kill Tony, and during the attempt fall in love with our hero.
My choice is as The Black Widow would be Olga Kurylenko.

That's not a bad idea. But I still think Hammer would come across as to much of an Obadiah Stane clone, despite the fact that he's never physically fought Iron Man.

I agree.

I'd really like to see Fin Fang Foom and Mandarin in pt. 2. The thought of Iron Man battling FFF is awesome, if they could pull it off believably. Crimson Dynamo would be cool to see as well.

Part three, War Machince leaves to make his own spinoff movie and it'll be Iron Man vs Mandarin for the final showdown.

Yes, i really like this idea

Definitely. Perhaps for the final battle between him and Iron Man, he can put on the robes as symbolism for the final fight between technology and spirituality as it were.

I like the idea of holding off on Mandarin until the last film. It would be nice to see a female villain square off against a hero for once, and not give us some lame cop-out ending or contrived battle. Let's see a female as a stone cold cast iron bee-yotch with no morally redeeming qualities whatsoever (like the psychotic James Bond villainess Xenia Onatopp) and actually have Iron Man kick the living crap out of her in the battle.

Speaking of James Bond, the IM series could shift into a cool superhero version of that type of film easily. Bringing in MODOK and A.I.M. would be like a comicbook supercharged version of Blowfeld & SPECTRE. That would make for some cool on-screen visuals and mind-boggling gadgetry that would make even 'Q' wet his pants. Corporate spying isn't that far removed from the Bond kind.

Have to work in the alcoholism at some point in 2 or 3. A must. Not too fond of more armored villains going up against IM. Comic fans know and love 'em all, but to Joe Sixpack audience member, they'll all sort of blend together. Keep each film separate with a unique villain - and style of villain. Maybe Chameleon? He is kind of 1-dimensional, but would work well in the spy/espionage mold.

I just hope the producers don't go overboard in introducing a zillion types of armor in the sequels just for the sake of generating more action figure sales, like the comics did. Ack. The Batman films are one the worst offenders of this detestable practice.

you're right the iron man franchise COULD hark back to old school 007 movies with its villians and gadgets

I don't know why but, always when someone ask about the villain of the second movie, the first thing that comes to my mind is a gold Fing Fang Foon.
I'd like to see him in a sequel, but I'd like him to be a machine, instead of a real monster.

[GoldGoblin]

How come "The Incredible Hulk" and "Iron Man" both have a bunch of crappy villains?They should just use a "Spider-Man" villain for "The Incredible Hulk" and the "Iron Man" sequels.

like whom for greenskin and shellhead respectively?

Like:
-Molten Man
-Apocalypse and his Four Horsemen
-Jack O' Lantern(or Hobgoblin)
-Omega Red
-Mister Sinister
-Carnage

[kedrell]

Considering that both have been Avengers, I'd borrow some of their villains rather than Spidey's or the X-Men's. The Avengers have plenty to go around.

these sound like good opponents for shellhead

[Mauser9910]

I'd love to see the Living Laser and Whiplash.

[Mauser9910]

Damn, I think I meant Constrictor instead of Whiplash, sowwy !

That is within the realm of possibility, IMO. Personally, I still think Count Nefaria wouldn't be a bad choice for a future Iron Man film. I would say in part 3 in a storyline involving Madame Masque.

[The IronMan]

how about a melter, whiplash, blizzard team up? sounds pretty familiar and it would work well on film
