Ben Kingsley Secret Marvel Project: 'Iron Man 3' Actor Reprising Mandarin Role in the Near Future?

While promoting the upcoming film Ender's Game, award-winning actor Ben Kingsley recently revealed that he teamed up with Marvel for a secret project. The 69-year-old actor was featured in this year's Iron Man 3 as the Mandarin (also known as Trevor Slattery), so perhaps we'll be seeing that character return in some way? Though if you saw Iron Man 3 you might be a little confused by this news. (SPOILERS to follow)

"It's a secret Marvel project," Kingsley revealed. "I'm not allowed to say any more, you're going to have to wait and see... "

What do you think this Marvel project is? Will we be seeing the Mandarin again? How do you think Marvel will work in the Iron Man 3 Mandarin ending into a new project?

We could also tie this news into the recent announcement that Marvel wants to make more television shows.

Perhaps Kingsley could be working on another character for Marvel, though. This secret project sure does raise a lot of questions. How do you think it will play out for Kingsley and Marvel?

The actor also went on to talk about his adoration for the crew he had worked with.

"I was with many members of the crew that were involved in 'Iron Man 3.' It was lovely to see them again. It was great to be with this wonderful family," he said. "I think they have enormous taste as creative artists. There's nothing lazy or gratuitous about their work. They are at the top of their game, and they're great company to keep."
