Yet another member of the Iron Man cast has been announced. This time it’s Jeff Bridges. Mr. Bridges has been cast in an unnamed role that is currently shrouded in secrecy. Jeff Bridges joins Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, Gwenyth Paltrow as Pepper Potts and Terrence Howard as Rhodes to complete the ensemble cast for Marvel’s first Independently produced film.

Bridges character is stated to have had long time connections to Star Industries, and to be a close friend of Tony Stark in the film.

Aint It Cool News speculates that he might actually being playing the role of Mandarin…but i seriously doubt that, and don’t agree with their assessment that that would be “cool” casting.

Frankly, I think casting anybody but Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat) would be a travesty. Mandarin was the role Tagawa was BORN to play…who’s with me?
