Iron Man 3, The Mandarin
Iron Man 3 director Shane Black and his co-writer Drew Pearce were kind enough to spend 25 minutes or so talking to us about their twist-filled Marvel outing recently, and here - alongside a 45-odd minute spoiler-filled discussion from Team Empire - is the result, a fascinating insight into what almost made the cut and how that plot point came about.
Needless to say, many, many, many spoilers are contained within, so be sure to watch** Iron Man 3** before you listen to this.
Also, if you'd rather skip the team's dissection of the movie, jump to 45.37 for all the Black and Pearce goodness.
