Robert Downey, Jr. Talks Mickey Rourke’s Role in "Iron Man 2"

by Jane Boursaw on February 4th, 2009

A few weeks ago, it was reported around the Web that Mickey Rourke was in talks to play a villain in "Iron Man 2" – supposedly, the role of Crimson Dynamo. But in a recent interview with MTV, Robert Downey, Jr. gave a different story:

"That’s actually incorrect," Downey said, when asked if Rourke was being considered for the role of Crimson Dynamo.

When asked if Rourke was up for the role of Whiplash, Downey said, "I can neither confirm nor deny that. Or maybe it’s some semblance of both. Here, I can tell you everything about the story, except I won’t give away the ending. The nerd stuff is top-drawer security."

Alrighty then! "Iron Man 2" is scheduled for a May 7, 2010 release. Stay tuned as to what part, if any, Rourke will be playing.
