I think casting Kingsley was a HUGE blunder. Not that it will cost them much money, but the Mandarin is Chinese, and they are obviously making a huge effort to cater to the Chinese audience.
It would have went a long way with the Chinese to have an actual Chinese person play him, I would imagine.
It's not like Kingsley would be brilliant casting even if the mandarin was from Yorkshire.

He's half Indian. He's played Gandhi, he's played a concentration-camp Jew. I'm sure he can pull this off.

Don Logan is a fantastic actor.

Not saying he's not a great actor. Still a bad choice for the Mandarin.
Maybe it would be better if it wasn't a Chinese character....but it is.

Wonder if we'll ever see Fin Fang Foom.http://marvel.com/universe/Fin_Fang_Foom

It's typically a mistake to cast a non-Asian as an Asian. No shock there. Besides, doesn't the role scream for Chow Yun Fat for chrissakes?

I think Chow Yun Fat would have been good in the role, but I have no problem with Kingsley in the role. He has the gravitas to pull it off, he is an oscar winning actor....he will not be the weak link in this film. (FWIW, I think the trailers look really good, and I am trying not to raise expectations up too high after the disappointment of Iron Man 2)

Wait a sec... so having an actor whose father is Asian and mother is British play the role of a comic book villain whose father was Asian and mother was British... is a bad choice?

Kingsley was pretty much a perfect casting and from what I have read he absolutely kills it. I doubt it will replace Sexy Beast as my favorite role of his but who knows.
