According to director Jon Favreau's Twitter, he spent the day working with Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow. "Back from lunch. More Tony and Pepper in the workshop."
Will The Mandarin play a part in the sequel? Sci Fi Wire has some quotes from actor Faran Tahir, who played the terrorist Raza in the first film, saying he's not in this movie, but a subsequent one's possible. "We're still talking about it," Tahir said. "It hasn't been finalized yet, so we'll see. Is he the conduit to Mandarin? Does he become Mandarin? Is it just another leader of the Ten Rings, you know, thing? All the allusions [in] my first speech [were] all about Genghis Khan and all that, which is Mandarin's thing, you know? So I think they have created the character and the storyline very wisely. To leave it as open as possible so whatever they need to, you know, pull from, they will."
