As the Avengers movie still rakes up millions of cash in theaters, hardcore fans are already set to looking forward to 2013 for Iron Man 3 and the sequel of Thor. The next installment of Iron Man is already in the works, and earlier this month, James Badge Dale (Pacific, Rubicon, 24) officially signed with the project. Ben Kingsley and Guy Pierce have reportedly been confirmed to be on the film as well taking on nemesis roles.

Dale will play Eric Savin, a soldier in the comic books who got fatally injured while in battle and resurrected into an anti-hero cyborg known as Coldblood. The character is one of the soldiers by Aldrich Killian (Guy Pierce).

Take a first look at Dale’s outfit that resembles Captain America’s Stars and Stripes in an Iron Man suit which first appeared in the comic verse known as Iron Patriot. Seeing Coldblood wearing Iron Patriot suit has led to confusion among fans and even drew some speculations that the scenes are set to throw off the actual plot.
