They wanted it to be about sort of the destruction of Tony Stark, and the one scene I remember being given on Day One was his entire house and his entire laboratory are sort of decimated and taken out from under him.” They had kind of expressed a desire that it be The Mandarin at some point, but they were willing to let it not be The Mandarin. With Iron Man 3, Black and Pearce initially planned on adapting The Mandarin in a pretty straightforward manner, and Black said they weren’t told the villain had to be The Mandarin by the higher ups at Marvel: This character was originally considered for the first Iron Man movie, but the team couldn’t figure out exactly how to avoid the racial stereotypes of the character from the comics, and thus Obadiah Stane was promoted to chief villain for that initial outing. While Black was initially reluctant to work with a co-writer he didn’t know, he quickly came to embrace Pearce’s company and the two set about pulling from the Extremis comics run to craft a story involving one of Iron Man’s most iconic villains: The Mandarin.
