Moviephone asks actor Faran Tahir about returning to the series, as Internet talk like to peg him for The Mandarin. "At some point, they want to introduce Mandarin into the storyline and my character, like Mandarin, was the leader of the Ten Rings. We're leaving it open because, partly, it makes good business sense for us to leave a little bit of uncertainty for people to speculate on," says Tahir.
Release date: TBA
