Mickey Rourke Signs as Russian Villain in 'Iron Man 2'

Sounds like they got the money worked out

BY: Brad Brevet | March 11th 2009 at 3:45 PM

Nikki Finke is reporting Mickey Rourke has officially signed on to star in Iron Man 2 as the Russian villain Crimson Dynamo, the Russian equivalent to Tony Stark's Iron Man.

Rourke was said to have dropped out over pay when word hit the web the Oscar-nominated actor had been offered a measly $250,000 for the role. Finke says Rourke's agent David Unger got the quote up to a "significant" level.

Iron Man 2 production is underway as evident from the image I showed you yesterday and the film is set for a May 7, 2010 release.

Very nice. I don't love Scarlett joining the cast (nothing but eye candy) but I do love Rourke getting on board. He's a great actor when you let him act his way and the part sounds perfect for him.

Mickey Rourke will be a great addition to the Iron Man crew; he's a really talented actor despite all the other drama
