Well, it’s official.  Mickey Rourke has signed on to play Whiplash, the Russian villain, in Iron Man 2.  So the who’s who list of actors now reads: Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Samuel L. Jackson, and Scarlett Johansson.  What a cast!

There should be some really good face-offs between Rourke and Downey and I look forward to seeing how they come out.

There is also talk that Rourke is in negotiations to be a villain in Spiderman 4.  What a comeback Mr. Rourke!

Release date for Iron Man 2 is set for May 7, 2010.
