Marvel has released a new poster of Ben Kingsley as ‘Iron Man 3’ villain the Mandarin.
He looks really… well, villainous, don’t you think?
I mentioned in my second set visit report that we got to interview Ben Kingsley. What I didn’t mention was that he was in full Mazer Rackham costume and makeup at the time! It was pretty shocking when he walked in and I can’t wait for them to come out with a poster like this one for Ender’s Game so that you guys can see what he looked like when we met him!
Five time Academy Award winning film Hugo, starring Ender’s Game stars Asa Butterfield (Ender) and Ben Kingsley (Mazer Rackham) is out today on Blu-ray
If you haven’t had a chance to see Asa in anything yet, this would be a great movie to do it with since it’s his most recent work before Ender’s Game and is so highly acclaimed. The film also stars Chloe Moretz, Jude Law, and Sacha Baron Cohen.
Hugo is also available on Amazon Instant Video
About Hugo:
Set in 1930s Paris, an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station is wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Ben Kingsley is in talks to play war hero Mazer Rackham in the movie adaptation of Ender’s Game, which is tentatively scheduled to begin principal photography next February, though the headline and the article give different versions of the story.
Kingsley has worked with star Asa Butterfield before in last month’s Hollywood delight Hugo. Although there has yet to be studio confirmation on either Kingsley’s casting or more recently, Hailee Steinfeld in talks to play Petra Arkanian, Kingsley seems to be a great fit for the character, who is presumed dead by the world long after he single-handedly puts an end to the last Formic invasion. Rackham then becomes a mentor to Ender as he completes his training.
Kingsley has played a wide variety of roles, with some of his most memorable being from Shindler’s List, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, and House of Sand and Fog.
