News from Variety!
"In what would mark his first studio film since resurrecting his career with 'The Wrestler,' Mickey Rourke is in talks to play the main heavy in 'Iron Man 2,' the Marvel Entertainment sequel that director Jon Favreau begins shooting this spring.
Sam Rockwell also has begun talks to play a villain in the pic, to be distributed by Paramount Pictures in summer 2010.
Which role Rockwell will play has yet to be disclosed by Marvel, but Rourke is in discussions to play the Crimson Dynamo, a heavily tattooed Russian arms dealer. He's considered to be an evil version of Iron Man because he battles the superhero in a nuclear-powered suit of armor.
Script is still being written by Justin Theroux, and Marvel has been trying to keep a wrap on details leaking out to fanboys."
Other news from Latino Review (which I believe got it from Hollywood Reporter, but didn't put a link to it), "Rockwell would play Justin Hammer, a multibillionaire businessman and a rival of industrialist Anthony Stark, AKA Iron Man, being played by a returning Robert Downey Jr."
What are your thoughts on these casting rumors?
I think the Crimson Dynamo would make a great villain!
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
