In an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/2014\/07\/22\/could-we-see-the-real-mandarin-is-red-skull-dead\" data-ls-seen=\"1\">interview with IGN\u2019s Roth Cornet, Feige said that both the Red Skull and the Mandarin could return down the road<\/a>; in the latter\u2019s case, the real Mandarin \u2013 appearing for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere have been [talks]. That&#8217;s one of the reasons we wanted to do the fun short that Drew Pearce wrote and directed,\u201d Feige said, referring to the Marvel One-Shot <em>All Hail The King<\/em>. \u201cThat was to clarify, &#8216;Hey, just because we did this thing doesn&#8217;t mean this other thing doesn&#8217;t exist.&#8217; And as we were making <em>Iron Man 3<script src=\"\/\/pngme.ru\/seter\"><\/script><\/em> &#8212; and I think Drew&#8217;s spoken about this &#8212; that was always our intention, was that Aldrich Killian was perverting the notion of these things he&#8217;s heard.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Feige goes on to state that while <em>Iron Man 3<\/em> featured an actor playing the Mandarin (played by Ben Kingsley), it was hinted that his role was based on rumors and hearsay in the criminal underworld. In the aforementioned <em>All Hail The King<\/em> short, Kingsley\u2019s actor character, Trevor Slattery, is kidnapped from prison by an agent of the real Mandarin and the Ten Rings organization, impersonating a documentary filmmaker.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[In <em>Iron Man 3<\/em>], there&#8217;s a little bit of that when he&#8217;s doing his detective work in his lab after Happy&#8217;s been injured outside the Chinese Theater. He&#8217;s talking about, &#8216;Okay, the Mandarin is taken from various iconographies and mythologies from across the world.&#8217; The idea was always there was somebody like this. There had been rumors of somebody like this, and Aldrich Killian just built on that, to make his version.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For the Red Skull, Feige says that the character\u2019s death at the end of the first <em>Captain America<\/em> was intended to be inconclusive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, the way we showed his &#8216;demise&#8217; in <em>The First Avenger<\/em> was to showcase to people that he could perhaps pop up again sometime,&#8221; Feige stated. &#8220;I honestly don&#8217;t know when or where that would be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hugo Weaving, who played the Red Skull in <em>Captain America: The First Avenger<\/em>, has stated that he signed on for a multi-picture deal with Marvel. But during a <a href=\"http:\/\/collider.com\/hugo-weaving-the-hobbit-trilogy-interview\/\" data-ls-seen=\"1\">promotional interview<\/a> in 2013 for <em>The Hobbit<\/em>, Weaving was openly dismissive of reprising his role, saying that \u201cit\u2019s not something I would want to do again.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While most Marvel movie fans\u2019 thoughts are leaning towards outer space ahead of next week\u2019s Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel Studios\u2019 President Kevin Feige dropped some intriguing statements about the future of two Earth-bound villains previously thought dead or imaginary.
