"I Really Want To Play Iron Man," Says Jackie Chan

[odolwa99]

Even if the title role is off the cards, they could have the Chinese fitting Jackie with their own version of the suit. The great thing about the suit is that even an old codger could operate it, with Jarvis conducting some of the more complicated functions. Not to mention the fact that in The Tuxedo, Jackie uses the eponymous suit to kick ass.

The Mandarin character is a bit too culturally insensitive for an Asian to play, hence Kingsley's humorous characterization.

For anyone who wants a visual representation of Jackie Chan as Iron Man, here:

Pretty close representation I must say. Still I would think Jackie is better suited to a different Marvel hero. Marvel certainly has enough...

Ok browsing the Marvel database how about Shang-Chi?

Tell you what, Jackie. Meet us halfway on this. Tony's usually got his suit, a spare suit, and maybe even more suits-

Spoiler

Yes, even after he blew them all up at the end of the third movie and got his shrapnel condition cured.

-so why not agree to occupy a suit alongside him and perform a double act, billianaire genius and legendary martial artist?

I would honestly like to see Jackie Chan as anything.
