First Iron Man 2 Set Photo!!
Iron Man 2 director, Jon Favreau has released the very first set photo of himself and cinematographer, Matthew Libatique on the set of Tony Stark's house, which is clearly under construction.
While we're talking about Iron Man 2, I'd like to discuss the topic of the problems they had with casting. A few months ago, we posted about the casting of villains, Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell, as well as Emily Blunt as The Black Widow. The rumors surfaced how Rourke was unhappy with the salary he was being offered, and that Emily Blunt was gonna be replaced by none other than Scarlett Johansson. Internet buzz went crazy over this, with speculations connecting all the way back to the re-casting of Terence Howard's character, Rhodey. Are these actors really being underpaid? Well, the good news is that some light has been shed over the matter!
Jon Favreau was interviewed during Oscars night, and he said that Fox has decided to exercise their option to cast Emily Blunt in their upcoming film, Gullivers Travels, therefore making her unavailable for Iron Man 2.
With regards to Mickey Rourke, he was quoted saying, "he isn't officially cast but that he is a fan."
Robert Downey Jr. also said that producers are still hard at work at casting Rourke as a villain. He was quoted saying, "they are slaving away for a hot script" for Iron Man 2.
Now could all these sudden cast changes affect the film? Probably not. But if you ask me, I think that they should definitely cast Mickey Rourke. Rourke, who successfully pulled off the biggest comeback in history, is definitely a hot ticket now....and I can totally see this dude playing a bad-ass villain!! And as for the role of Black Canary, I'm really just either/or on that matter. I mean, both actresses are fine as hell, and I'm sure both would do a great job! Hey, as long as you got Downey Jr putting on the suit, then I'm a happy camper.
