I haven't been disappointed by any of the Iron Man movies so far, but the Dark Knight Rises vibe I got from the trailer concerns me. I hope this film isn't too dark. One of the things I liked about the Iron Man movies is that (so far) they haven't crossed into grimdark territory. I understand Tony's been through a lot, but I hope he doesn't lose his trademark cockiness and ego, and the movie doesn't lose its' trademark humor. If I want to see grimdark, I'll watch a Batman movie.
From what I hear about the comics, Tony Stark goes through some real dark times that makes DKR look like a zoo field trip. If it focuses on Tony's character while still sneaking in some humor, then I won't mind.

Not to come off as politically correct, but I can't help but feel irked that they cast a white actor (albeit, Ben Kingsley) as the Mandarin instead of just casting an Asian actor and giving the Mandarin an actual name.

Well Kingsley did pull off a damn fine Gandhi.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

Still, they couldn't bother to call Ken Watanabe or something?

Stan Lee just confirmed a Doctor Strange movie, and mentioned that Black Panther and Inhumans are being worked on as well.

Awesome.

I'm sort of surprised Runaways hasn't been made yet.

There was a casting sheet circulating around, but nothing beyond that.

I think right now Marvel wants to put their top priority into getting movies based off of Lee creations on the ground, so they can add cameos of him in to at least their first ones. After that, they'll likely branch out into more recent characters.

Wolverine?
Professor Xavier?
Jean Grey?
Mystique?

Honestly, I have no idea which characters are even supposed to be in the original story, and I don't have a clue which character appearances in the movie qualify as a return, so I don't even know where to begin....

Avaitor

Oh, I should've said actors.

Because Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen have been confirmed to appear in the flick.
