Iron Man director Jon Favreau reportedly has found actors to portray Tony Stark's father and Iron Man's archnemesis for the planned superhero sequel.
Wired.com originally reported the Mandarin would show up in the Iron Man sequel shortly after the original premiered to massive box office numbers. Now EW.com is saying John Cho (who plays Sulu in the new Star Trek movie) has been cast as the mystic villain. He seems a little young for such a weighty role, but (as Star Trek proves) there's a blind rush to cast very young these days.
Meanwhile, LatinoReview.com puts Tim Robbins in Iron Man II as Tony Stark's old man. Robbins would replace the little-used actor from the first film (Gerard Sanders) as Howard Stark plays a role in the formation of The Avengers.
