10 Key Marvel Cinematic Universe Questions That Must Be Answered In Phase 3

3. Who Is The Real Mandarin?

Iron Man 3's presentation of the Mandarin as a concept was pretty terrible. Instead of the Chinese martial artist with ten alien rings of power that we know from the comics as being Iron Man's arch-enemy, we were given a drunken British actor posing as the villain behind the scenes, only for him to then be revealed as a front to enable Aldrich Killian - who claimed to be the real Mandarin - to carry out his evil deeds. However, in the Marvel One-Shot All Hail the King, it was revealed that the drunken actor who had been portraying the character was in jail and, during a visit from a journalist, was informed that the actual Mandarin was really out there and was very ticked off with him. It can't just be left like that - we absolutely need to know who the Mandarin really is. So, even if it's just in another One-Shot movie, phase three must show us who the real Mandarin is - and hopefully he'll look more like the classic version we know so well.
