Tony Chiu-Wai Leung knew nothing about the Mandarin, and did not try to research the character. When Marvel Studios contacted him, they gave him full authority to invent his own background for this iteration of the character. He didn't mind playing a villainous role (not his first time, he already played one in Lussuria - Seduzione e tradimento (2007) and Confession of Pain (2006) for example), but he sought to give the character more depth and credibility: "I tried to explore the reasons that could have led him to become who he is. He's a man with history, who craves to be loved. He is a sociopath, a narcissist and a bigot, but he is also human and has a family."
