James Badge Dale in Talks for Villain Role in IRON MAN 3

Movie Iron Man 3 Casting about 11 years agoby Joey Paur

The Pacific's James Badge Dale is in talks to play a villain named Savin in Iron Man 3. If he takes the role he'll join Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Rebecca Hall, Guy Pierece, as well as Ben Kinsgley who has been rumored to be playing The Mandarin.

I believe the character Badge Dale will be playing is actually Eric Savin, who's a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army who ends up stepping on a land mine and becoming a cyborg called Coldblood.

Badge Dale will also be seen Robert Zemeckis-directed Flight with Denzel Washington, World War Z with Brad Pitt, and he just finished shooting The Lone Ranger for Disney.

Iron Man 3 will follow Warren Ellis' six-issue Iron Man: Extremis comic book arc. What do you think of Badge Dale possibly taking on this role?
