The revelation during Iron Man 3 that Ben Kingsley's character was in fact not the real Mandarin is by far the MCU's most divisive moment, with some fans apoplectic that they didn't get to witness the true leader of The Ten Rings on the big screen.

However, as briefly teased during the All Hail The King 'One Shot', Feige confirmed that Iron Man's true iconic arch-nemesis will finally be featured in an upcoming MCU film.

Although he stopped short of revealing when, there are already plenty of rumours circulating surrounding his future place within the MCU.

Currently, the most popular theory is speculating that he will be introduced in Destin Daniel Cretton's Shang-Chi adaptation and go on to become the over-arching villain of the MCU's fourth phase.
