potentially with other minor villians, and or the real Mandarin. Remember Trevor makes a comment about plastic surgery etc. So even if we disregard the one shot there's groundwork for a real Mandarin being out there. Also are the 10 rings shown around Tony in IM1 in the hostage video?
Assuming Iron Man 4 ends up happening and it ends up becoming a reality just who should be the villain for this film?
Personally speaking I would love for it to be Ezekiel "Zeke" Stane son of Obadiah Stane and I'll tell you why
Because it would feel like the Iron Man franchise would be coming full circle especially if you get Zeke as the villain for the 4th film and it makes sense
Tony killed Zeke's father and you basically drive the movie around Zeke wanting vengeance for his father's death considering Tony/Iron Man killed Obadiah Stane/Iron Monger in the first film
In the comic books, Ezekiel "Zeke" Stane is Obadiah's son. He has been building bio-weaponry and manufacturing next-generation weapons for terrorists and supervillains since he was only nine years old. Utilising his skills, he creates a suit that is actually physically attached to his anatomy. In this sense, he is a sort of cross between Iron Man and the Aldrich Killian character we saw in Iron Man 3 - he is armoured, but by virtue of an actual biological upgrade. What a surprise it would be for the cocky Tony Stark - a man who has saved the world from an alien threat - to find himself tackling a young upstart whose technology is superior to the equipment he has relied upon for so long. The fact that Zeke would have a revenge motive would only add to the story.
Well, isn't it obvious? Do the Mandarin or don't do it. Mandarin should be the villain that concludes the arc of Tony Stark. Not only because he's the biggest enemy of his, but also because he is responsible for Iron Man's creation. The first movie, like the comics, implants the idea of Mandarin being behind Tony Stark's captivity in a war zone. Further exploring that conflict would be interesting, and far more satisfying than having some lame white boy with dragon tattoos as your grand villain. Iron Man 3 still hurts my soul.
The short "Hail to the King", included in the Thor: Dark World Blu-Ray, revealed there really is a Mandarin leading the Ten Rings terrorist group. He sends one of his agents to kidnap Trevor from jail.
"You stole his name. He wants it back."
