Film School Rejects: Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell Might Be Villains in Iron Man 2

    Mark Scarlotti was the first Whiplash. Then he was the first Blacklash. Then he died and the next Whiplash was a woman. The current Whiplash is a new woman and her husband is Blacklash. They wear dominatrix type getups.

    I don't think I would like to see Mickey R in an S&M get up maybe if he grows his hair and braid it and then not shower for at least 2-3 weeks he might resembles Dog the Bounty Hunter. LOL! The idea with a counter part to tony stark sounds good and having Crimson Dynamo as the villian would be good too. It seems they are pushing all of the Marvel characters to show up in IM2 including Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Nick Fury. I'm wondering when are we going to hear or see Mandarin in the movie?
  • RobertFure · 10 months ago
    Sam Rockwell - Yes please. I think he's a good addition. Mickey Rourke? I'll go against the grain and not be completely sold on him. The problem I see with his two options are this: Crimson Dynamo is basically an Iron Man clone, he's another powered suit. I don't want Iron Man to only fight powered suits that pretty much look like him. Whiplash. Whiplash is kind of a silly character I think. I'm sure they can make it work, though I wouldn't mind the series being more like Iron Man - Director of SHIELD, where his enemies are more realistic - terrorists, etc. Sure, throw in the odd super villain, and a few cheesey ones to be dispatched for giggles, but Iron Man can stay fairly grounded in terms of reality.

    Now they have to use them properly for the roles. Even the best actors can be miscast, look at Batman Beyond.

    An Arrested Development reference? Touche Cole.
  • CaptainReg0981 · 10 months ago
    Yea Batman Beyond was not even made and the casting was bad. I knew WB wanted to reboot the franchise from the very beginning so they diss that idea but I wouldn't mind them making Batman Beyond.

    This news is best news ever. Rourke and Rockwell are two of the greatest actors alive. Rockwell rocked the hell out of "Assassination of Jesse James", holding his own against the brilliant Brad Pitt. The scene where Pitt reveals what he did to Rockwell is one of the best ever. This made "Iron Man 2" go from a "wanna see it" to possibly attending the midnight screening.

    Thank you!!

    Seems interesting. I really like Sam Rockwell and I think he's quite underrated as an actor. But who cares about these guys? Who's gonna be Black Widow is what I wanna know!
  • CaptainReg0981 · 10 months ago
    Good question!!
  • DMuff · 10 months ago
    I will hold my opinion until this is actually all confirmed.
  • Cole_Abaius · 10 months ago
    I don't want to cause unnecessary buzz, but I might be playing Black Widow.
  • RobertFure · 10 months ago
    Yes, but the alternate universe black widow who is an idiot savant at baking and doing long division while wearing a bikini made of tin foil.
  • CaptainReg0981 · 10 months ago
    I Think I'd rather be bit by an actual Black Widow than see that. *Hmph!

    "super-villains and there weaponry needs"

    Can i get a spell check in aisle you're-an-idiot?
  • Cole_Abaius · 10 months ago
    Sadly, we're all out of that.

    And who would name an aisle "you're an idiot?" We use numbers just like everyone else around here.
  • Calum · 10 months ago
    Mabye you should read up on the english language before you start with numbers......

    Rourke and Rockwell - Mercy! Let it be true!

    Not gonna lie, I'm really happy with this news. Though I hope that Whiplash is chosen. That would be way more fun than another Man in Metal Suit VRS. Man in Metal Suit.

    I'm still sad Captain Marvel isn't getting movie...
  • Random-Mania · 10 months ago
    I bet they'll get Chow Yun-Fat to phone in as Mandarin
  • nicky_cavella · 10 months ago
    lol he looks like bruce willis
  • Fanboy · 10 months ago
    Except Whiplash is a male who also goes by Blacklash
  • Cole_Abaius · 10 months ago
    Still, where did the lighter fluid come from?

    Interesting casting choices. I'm not really up on the bad guys in the Iron Man universe, but both these guys would be great.
    Seems like Iron man is becoming the franchise featuring "actors who hit rock bottom but are now stars again."
    Is Lindsay Lohan going to make a cameo?
