“It’s a secret Marvel project. I’m not allowed to say any more. You’re going to have to wait and see.” That’s Sir Ben Kingsley revealing to The Belfast Telegraph (via Comic Book Movie) that he’s partnering with Marvel once more. A return of The Mandarin seems most likely (considering continuity), but there are other speculative options on the table including voice over work in the animated Big Hero 6 or as CGI Alien Soldier #4 in Avengers: Age of Ultron. The greatest question (and greatest fear) is whether they’ll stack a twist on top of a twist following Kingsley’s fun as hell performance in Iron Man 3.

Though it arrived with great anticipation, Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus has seemingly divided critics right down the middle, with some calling it a tremendous achievement in the world of science fiction and others calling it a colossal, overly-ambitious mess. For me, the film had some pretty huge expectations to live up to.
