The Kidd here...
In an interesting bit of casting, James Badge Dale has now been added to the Marvel Movie Universe for IRON MAN 3, with Deadline reporting that the character actor has signed on the dotted line to play Savin for the Shane Black-helmed sequel.
In dipping into the Marvel lore, the only Savin on the books is Lt. Colonel Eric Savin, better known as Coldblood, a cyborg resulting from the United States Army's Project: Ultra-Tech after being blown to bits by a mine. However, his path never crosses that of Tony Stark's, and he's certainly not in the Extremis story arc that IRON MAN 3 is being built around.
We now have another villain for IRON MAN 3, but how will Coldblood slot into the overall scheme of things with Ben Kingsley also playing what we'd assume to be a very big part?
