Still fun to go back and re-read the speculation as far back as 2011. Earliest reports said Ghost; then when Wilmington was chosen for the main shoot, including the giant underwater tank at Screen Gems, speculation turned to Namor (!) for awhile. At LBCC around Halloween 2011, Shane Black dismissed Mandarin outright, and Mandy was dead in the water until way late in filming.
And hell, I was a psychic all the way back then, too.
t: About the only calls I missed was Madam Masque and Spymaster appearing in the film, and there's *still* a rumor floating around that Masque (or a version of her)
is actually in the movie. So I might even be better at calling this movie than even *I* could have guessed.
