Here is the latest.

Tahir Starred as Raza Hamidmi al-Wazar in ‘Iron Man’

For those who don’t remember, Raza was introduced in the first Iron Man movie as the commander of a Ten Rings terrorist cell in Afghanistan. In the film, Raza makes a deal with Obadiah Stane to kidnap Tony Stark in exchange for the inventor’s weapons. Unfortunately for the terrorist, Stark was able to escape.

Raza then continued to use Stark technology to expand his control of the region. When the Ten Rings leader made a second deal with Stane, however, he and his men were betrayed and seemingly killed.

Apparently, Raza survived.

Joining Bettany and Tahir will be James Spader, who is reprising his role as Ultron from Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Todd Stashwick, who is playing an undisclosed character.
