Seriously. Dunst could out-act Holmes while being bludgeoned to death, lol. t:

Gwyneth Paltrow can out-act Holmes, and she's in this Iron Man film.

You call the Mandarin a 'business associate'? Yeesh.

Anyway, after John Wayne and Jonathan Pryce, I'm sick of white men playing Asians.

Tomkat's looong gone from this film. Besides, where's the stupid grin? I see no grin. t:

Excellent.Bridges is an awesome actor.The cast couldn't be better!

It say's that he's a confidant and close business associate of Tony's, I wonder and this is just wild speculation, that since they are keeping his characters name a secret, that Jeff may be playing either Obidiah Stane or Justin Hammer, who for stories sake is a friend in the beginning but turns on Tony later in the movie and becomes a business rival, just thinking out load.

i thought the same thing upon hearing the news. t:

Ok after some thinking about Jeff Bridges secretive role in the upcoming Iron Man movie. The rumor mill has him pegged to be a white Mandarin much like Ra Al Gaul in Batman Begins. Here on SHH it's thought that he could be Happy,Stane,Jarvis,Justin Hammer, Sal, or even Howard Stark. His role is described as "He will portray a close business associate of Tony Stark. A confidant and longtime employee at defense contractor Stark Industries, Bridges' character plays a major role in shaping Tony Stark's life." which got me to thinking that Bridges could be playing a laser expert for the defense divison of Stark Industries. To get to my point I think Bridges could be playing Arthur Parks a.k.a The Living Laser. Since The Living Laser has ties to The Mandarin and the Mandarin's Minions. This could be a crazy thought but I think it could be a decent direction for a side villian for Mandy. Which would make him play a role like Scarecrow in BB, or he could be a herald for the Mandarin announcing his upcoming arrival.

Doubt they would rip off the twist from Batman Begins when the character is already so similar to Batman.

^ Favreau said he's NOT Happy so you can cross that out.
