USA Today has debuted the first look at Mickey Rourke as the Iron Man 2 villain Whiplash. Whiplash sports a power pack on his chest that looks similar to the one used by Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.). "The technologies are definitely related, and that's part of the core theme of the film," says director Jon Favreau.
Whiplash is the alter ego of Ivan Vanko, a Russian who, Favreau says, "has constructed his own version of a suit." Among the creative alterations: a pair of whips, powered by the suit's glowing chest piece, expected to keep Iron Man cracking. Whiplash "is going to light them up," says Rourke.
The pic you see above is described as Whiplash making an appearance at the Monaco Historic Grand Prix.
Iron Man 2 hits theaters on May 7, 2010. I am sure we will have an official hi-res version of the image soon.
