In the MCU were are to believe that this man is the Mandarin, a character from the comics who is one of Iron Man’s greatest foes. He seems pretty real and he causes quite a havoc in reality and for propaganda.

But when Tony Stark goes to settle the score and it turns out he’s just an actor.

While a lot of comic book fans hated the twist, I thought the humor of the character was brilliant. Especially as they got a pretty serious actor like Ben Kingsley to do it.

I was surprised but delighted to see him return in Shang Chi. He was hilarious.
