The Real Mandarin & The Ten Rings Will Be Involved
There have been a number of rumours doing the rounds about the real Mandarin and his Ten Rings group being involved in the events of Captain America: Civil War. But this seems unlikely.
The real Mandarin was indeed confirmed to exist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe via the Marvel One-Shot All Hail the King, but he’s more likely to appear in an Iron Man standalone movie in the future – if indeed another one is ever made.
The rumours suggested that he might be working alongside HYDRA – who don’t even exist any more, as far as the movies are concerned – and Baron Zemo, helping to enforce the Sokovia Accords as a means of getting the Avengers to quarrel amongst themselves, but don’t hold your breath. There are enough major characters already in Captain America: Civil War, without another major villain appearing.
