Personally I'd like the Mandarin to be the big bad villain saved for the last movie of the trilogy. His presence and influence should be felt in the first films, but I'd save him for Iron Man's ultimate challenge.
I'd like to see Tony Stark's alcohlism be the real villain of the next movie. I can imagine someone like Madam Masque or Justin Hammer hiring armored supervillains like the Crimson Dynamo, Titanium Man, Ghost, or Spymaster (Or all of them!) to attack Iron Man physically while Stark is thrown over the edge mentally by a hostile takeover of his company.
Tony descends into alcoholism and has to fight to get his company back. Maybe this also triggers him to stop his leaked Iron Man technology from misuse causing an Armor Wars like event.
I'd also like to see War Machine make an appearance.
I'd like to see the dragon Fing Fang Foom appear. I wiki'd the name out of curiosity, and it looks like he kinda ties into the Mandarin, who is a rumored character for Part II, I believe.
Forgive me if I've made a suggestion as bad as wanting Venom in Spider-Man 3.![]()
Mandarin is going to be in the first movie with the Iron Monger, so we may hear some about Foom in this one or even might get a glimpse of him, but Mandarin is IM main bad guy so he will be back.
Part 2 should be Mandarin hiring Crimson Dynamo and Titanium Man. Tony's in his alcohlism from the middle of the first act through the second, War Machine can't handle CD and TT byhimself, Tony recovers in the third act Iron Man & War Machine vs Crimson Dynamo & Titanium Man.
Part three, War Machince leaves to make his own spinoff movie and it'll be Iron Man vs Mandarin for the final showdown.

Yeah, I'm just a horny old goat.
I gotta say though, she'd be the 1st evil genius hot chick to be in a SH film.
