The latest on Mickey Rourke and IRON MAN 2

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

Don't panic, Oscar nominee Mickey Rourke will probably be in IRON MAN 2. Out of the Wrestlemania extravaganza, his small role in THE EXPENDABLES, and IRON MAN 2... it's the latter that is looking most likely to come off. Even if they are only offering him about 10% of what Tom Hanks makes per Dan Brown movie. But if he does eventually sign on, Rourke may not be the Russian villain Crymson Dynamo according to Robert Downey Jr The actor hinted to MTV that instead Rourke would be playing "a semblance of both" Dynamo and the villain Whiplash. You can find more about that Whiplash character HERE. We await (and cross our fingers) over official signatures for both Emily Blunt (as Black Widow) and Mickey Rourke over the coming weeks.
