Guy Pearce, who plays Aldrich Killian in Iron Man 3, affirms that he hasn’t given up hope that the character will return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Killian Aldrich’s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe is still a possibility, according to Iron Man 3 actor Guy Pearce.
Pearce talked about the future of his evil character in an interview with ComicBook.com. He responded:
“I can’t say. “I’m still waiting for Marvel to respond to my email. I’ll let you know even though it’s been a while. Actually, I haven’t [heard from the studio], so no. In light of what happened to Aldrich Killian at the end of Iron Man 3, I’ve probably just written the notion off, but in those universes, pretty much anything is possible, and yet I haven’t heard from anyone at Marvel. In light of this, I’m not sure if it’s in the works, but who knows.”
Despite Killian’s apparent demise in the pivotal battle of Iron Man 3, the Australian actor has often expressed interest in making a comeback in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Pearce has made it plain that he does not believe that Killian’s severe wounds from that movie are sufficient to render him permanently disabled, citing the creator of A.I.M.’s extraordinary regeneration talents as evidence that he may have lived. The future plans for Killian have not yet been made public by Marvel Studios, and Pearce is not currently involved in any MCU projects.
A Favorite Character of Fans Was Nearly Killed Off in Iron Man 3.
Although the only significant character to pass away in Iron Man 3 was Aldrich Killian, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has previously stated that this wasn’t always the case. Feige revealed that until actor Jon Favreau successfully lobbied for him to be spared, Tony Stark’s loyal head of security Happy Hogan was also expected to leave the franchise. At that moment, Favreau added, “It’s true, it’s true.” “They made accommodations, and I’m thrilled to have been a part of this and to have been there alongside [Spider-Man actor] Tom Holland from the start,” she said.
Iron Man 3 still had a lot of surprises for viewers, even without Happy’s death sequence. A notable story point that Feige continues to support is the movie’s introduction of a false version of the legendary Marvel villain The Mandarin. He said, “[Iron Man 3 director] Shane Black came up with this hilarious twist that we enjoy to this day, and [Mandarin] turned out to be Trevor Slattery in his film and his script that he co-wrote.” “Just because that version wasn’t true doesn’t mean the Ten Rings organization doesn’t have a leader, and we first meet that leader in Shang-Chi.”
