IRON MAN 3Comic Book Movie has posted quotes from director Shane Black and actor Sir Ben Kingsley during the "Iron Man 3" press conference in London, where both spoke briefly about The Mandarin.

"Of the many devices that The Mandarin employs, all of them are rooted in observation on my part and I won't name names, but some members of the audience might be able to recognize that I'm doing them," Kingsley said. "It's a beautiful script and as Shane rightly points out, there's very little deviation from what was on the page by Drew and Shane. There was our mandate and we followed it pretty well to the letter."

Comic Book Movie has also posted a video interview with legendary comic creator and "Iron Man 3" executive producer Stan Lee.
