    Talk about a comeback -- Mickey Rourke has gone from wrestling his way
    back into our hearts to getting cast in what is perhaps the biggest
    blockbuster of 2010: Iron Man 2. Variety tells us that Rourke is in
    talks to play a villain that's described as "Tony Stark's Russian
    alter ego, a heavily tattooed bruiser who is in the arms trade and
    battles Iron Man in his own nuclear-powered armored suit." Though the
    script isn't finished yet, most likely the character will be that of
    Crimson Dynamo.

    >From Wiki: "The first Crimson Dynamo was also the creator of the armor:
    Professor Anton Vanko. A Soviet scientist of Armenian birth with a
    PhD, Vanko was the world's foremost expert on electricity. He built
    a suit that was wired up to perform electric miracles, making him a
    human dynamo. The Crimson Dynamo battle-suit allowed him to control
    electricity in all of its forms, allowing him to fire devastating
    bolts of electricity. It also allowed him to fly." THR, however,
    mentions that Rourke is playing the villain Whiplash, who's also
    known as Blacklash, "a man with deadly, technologically enhanced
    coils." Rourke also signed on to star in Sylvestor Stallone's The
    Expendables, as reported earlier, which means the man is taking all
    he can get.

    According to casting calls, they still need to cast an "Eastern
    European, brilliant, gritty" male lead in his thirties and a "beautiful
    [female lead who] speaks several languages fluently and is equally
    proficient in martial arts" in her twenties, who is Tony Stark's
    assistant Natasha (as per THR). Mickey Rourke playing villain in
    Iron Man 2? What do you think about all this? We'll have more as it
    develops -- Iron Man 2 hits theaters on May 7, 2010.

    UPDATE: Sam Rockwell is also circling the role of Stark rival Justin
    Hammer (which takes care of our "Eastern European, brilliant, gritty"
    male lead").
