John Favreau is having some understandable problems working a character like the Mandarin into his reality based Iron Man universe. The Mandarin is a character surrounded by mysticism and alien technology that just too far fetched to lay into the network of what he has built in is film so far. I agree that this sort of garbage has no place in the continuity. However, the Mandarin is a fan favorite and Favreau himself has admitted to the desire to find a way to make him fit.
The Solution: The Mandarin is a liar.
Were it me The Mandarin would be a rival weapons manufacturer based in a fictional asian country. He has deep ties to terrorism that have made him very weathy. And he has recently invented a satelite weapons system that is so powerful he decides to launch it and keep it for himself.
The only actual purpose of his "magical" rings is to put on a light show to convice others that the effects of the satelite system are coming from him. With all the power and influence this offers he decides to become the ultimate terrorist and begins to make demands and shape the world as he sees fit.
Catsing:
Mandarin= Sonny Cheeba
PLEASE, OH, PLEASE! This would be the Amrican debut of a film LEGEND! Not o mention the potential of some small martial arts scenes. Last I heard Cheeba was running a martial arts school for actors in Japan. This means he alrady hasan army of actors to be his henchmen. How's that for practial?
