Not to jump into the discussion you seem to be having or anything, but I've actually got a theory that relates to your extremis/ring powers thing. I think that we'll actually see the true rings down the line, not extremis that somehow provides the exact same powers. I'm thinking we're just getting a more gradual buildup to them. It won't come across as hokey that way, and the rings will likely be modified to have an origin that will fit better into the MCU. I think that, regardless of which Mandarin wields them, he got them/will get them from either Thanos or the Red Skull. I got into this in one of my earlier theories, but I think that Killian was working with or for either Thanos or the Red Skull. That's what the universe image may have meant. A bit coincidental that it looked just like where the Red Skull wound up, no?
Nothing is impossible. Besides “ever since that dude with the hammer fell out of the sky, subtlety’s kind of had its day.” ;D
I think the Red Skull hint (if that's what it was) is more along the lines of "AIM works for/with Hydra."
Rings or not, I like the idea of a superpowered version of Kingsley's Mandarin. Who knows what we'll get in an Iron Man sequel. Even if its 5+ years away.
