The Mandarin's Ten Rings To Appear In 'Iron Man 3'

Clues from the set of Iron Man 3 indicate that 'The Ten Rings' might have a greater significance in the upcoming film.

Remember back in the first Iron Man film when shortly after Tony Stark had embarked on his road trip across the treacherous terrains of Afghanistan he was attacked by a terrorist organization? Well, if you think back to that scene and the moments that followed you might recall that the terrorists were said to have been members of "The Ten Rings," a fictional organization named after the ten mystical rings worn by the Mandarin, one of Stark's greatest comic book adversaries.

It seems that with actor Ben Kingsley on board to play the Mandarin in the upcoming Iron Man 3 movie, the likelihood that we'll see another mention (or perhaps even a resurgence) of 'The Ten Rings' is pretty good. Maybe 'The Ten Rings' will be referred to once again as an actual terrorist group? Or perhaps they will literally be…well, ten rings. Either way, we may have caught wind of some proof that the group will at least be mentioned in some way in the next Iron Man movie.

Earlier today the Latino Review posted about an interesting observation; the hats that will be worn by members of Iron Man 3's movie production team make a mention of The Ten Rings. So will 'The Ten Rings' refer to the terrorists we saw in the first Iron Man movie, or will The Mandarin literally wear ten rings, one on each finger, in Iron Man 3? Although we are betting on the former, it seems we will have to wait and see. What do you think? Are you looking forward to seeing The Mandarin play the bad guy in Iron Man 3?
