Johansson & Rourke Confirmed For Iron Man 2
E! Online has recently confirmed that actress Scarlett Johansson has officially signed on to play The Black Widow in the upcoming sequel, Iron Man 2.
Her rep Marcel Marseau was quoted saying, "Scarlett is thrilled to be a part of Iron Man."
That's not all, Deadline Hollywood Daily has also confirmed that Mickey Rourke is also on board to play a villain named, Whiplash. This villain will take elements from Russian villain, The Crimson Dynamo.
It was also reported that the studio had offered Rourke a lousy 250k for the role, so he was forced to decline. But Rourke's agent, David Unger was reported to have been able to increase the fee at a significant amount therefore giving us our second villain for the film.
Reports are also saying that Rourke was also considered for the role of the villain in the upcoming Spider-Man film.
All I can say is Thank God!! I think Mickey Rourke will be awesome as the villain!! I applaud FOX for coming to their senses. And as for the casting of Scarlett, I'm still on the fence on this one. I think Emily Blunt was actually a good choice. Scarlett, to me, she's a little overrated.
