While I love the idea of Rourke in Iron Man 2, I gotta say, I’m glad I don’t have to put “Academy Award winner” in front of Mickey’s name. I mean, what self-respecting Oscar winner would dress up in a getup like that.

Oh yeah.

From USA Today:

Whiplash (Mickey Rourke) 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.

Iron Man 2 hits theaters May 7, 2010.
