Hot news all over the web this week... Actors Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell are in talks with Paramount honchos to star as different villains in the Iron Man sequel.
Rourke, currently undergoing a critical resurgence for his incredible performance in "The Wrestler," would play the Crimson Dynamo. In the Marvel comic, he is a heavily tattooed Russian arms dealer who battles the superhero in a nuclear-powered suit of armor that can control electricity.
The character is tricked into defecting to the US and went to work for Stark, forcing the Soviets to send KGB assassin Black Widow after him. What's interesting here is that the Black Widow character has also been rumored to appear in the sequel.
Meanwhile though it's not confirmed, Rockwell is tipped to be playing Justin Hammer, a multibillionaire British businessman and a rival of industrialist Tony Stark.
