Last week, Wang was snapped talking with "Iron Man 3" chief producer Dan Mintz. Later, insiders from Fan Bingbing Work Studio, which Wang Works for, confirmed that the meeting was about the new film but that the details will be under wraps until September.

In the original comic, Chen Lu is a super villain, who uses radiation on his own body in a bid to defeat Iron Man.

The film may possibly shoot in China in September.
