James Badge Dale (Shame) is in talks to join the cast of Iron Man 3 in the role of a villain.

Variety reports:

Dale will play Eric Savin. In the Marvel comicbooks, he’s a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army put in charge of Project: Ultra. After stepping on a land mine, cybernetic surgery is performed on him and he’s resurrected as the cyborg Coldblood.

Dale is expected to land the role, as filming is scheduled to begin later this month, under the helm of Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang). Iron Man 3 is scheduled for a May 3, 2013 release. Are you interested to see Dale in the role of Savin?
