Rourke And Rockwell For Iron Man 2 Villains


Iron Man 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the monster hit Iron Man starring Robert Downey Jr. The movie is currently in production, and the question on everyone's mind is, who will the villains be this time around?

9 1/2 Weeks star, Mickey Rourke is in talks to play a Russian character named Ivan, who becomes a man with deadly, technologically enhanced coils. Variety reports that his character will ultimately become The Crimson Dynamo. He is considered to be the "evil version" of Iron Man because he battles Iron Man with a nuclear powered armor.

Charlie's Angels star, Sam Rockwell is also in talks to play Justin Hammer, a multibillionaire businessman who is the rival of Tony Stark.

Rourke and Rockwell could join an already star-studded cast of Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Don Cheadle, who is replacing Terrence Howard as Rhodey.

This movie definitely sounds like it's gonna be packed with more action than the original. Two villains? Sounds bad ass, I just hope that they don't lose focus of the story cuz the story is what makes the movie. CGI is just the cherry on top. I do however, love the fact that they're featuring The Crimson Dynamo. The fight scenes between the two should be very exciting.

What do you think? Comment!!
