Iron Man 3's The Mandarin Character Poster Released

Following the posters for Iron Patriot and Aldrich Killian that hit earlier this week, Marvel Studios have released an official teaser poster featuring Ben Kingsley as the film's central antagonist, The Mandarin. Like Killian, it isn't the first time fans have seen The Mandarin, but it is the first time anyone has seen a decent look at his full wardrobe. While the backgrounds and props may be analyzed to death over the next few days, the things that are immediately striking are front and center--his camouflage pants with what appears to be a Chinese dragon stitched onto one of the legs, and the numerous dog tags hangnig from his armrest, seeming to suggest that he's been engaging directly with the U.S. military. Iron Man 3 hits theaters in the U.S. May 4. Apparently this version of the poster is from another territory, as it opens in much of Europe the week before.
