Chinesefilms.cn reports that the 66 year old actor will play Chen Lu, the role originally set to be filled by Andy Lau, who was a scientist before becoming the villain known as Radioactive Man. Numerous times in the comics the character was employed by The Mandarin who will be making his live-action debut in this film. Lau had to drop the role wanting to spend time with his family. Not long ago it was rumored that Chen Lu would be appearing the post-credit scene for the movie that is meant to be a set up for Edgar Wright’s upcoming Ant-Man film.
