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.

Don Cheadle To Play War Machine!

"This Is So Going In My Blog,"

According to our sources, actor, Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda) is set to replace Terrence Howard in Iron Man 2. Howard played Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes, Tony Stark's best friend, and future War Machine.

The reasons for the replacement have been unclear so far, but some are saying that Howard fell through due to financial differences, among other reasons of course.

Marvel, who had long wanted to work with Cheadle, decided to take the role in a different direction and approach Cheadle, who is currently filming, Brooklyn's Finest.

Iron Man 2 is set to be released on May 7, 2010. Jon Favreau will return as director, Downey Jr. as Iron Man, and Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts.

I'm a little uneasy with this sudden replacement honestly. I thought Terrence Howard was an excellent choice for the role, and that he really nailed it. I'm not realy sure a out this move by Marvel. However, I do think that Don Cheadle is a great actor, and could possibly bring something new to the character.
