I really don't trust Latinoreview much..

Its true about Tim Robbins, but other than that there isn't a reason for Hawkeye to appear(unless Marvel wants to make a Hawkeye film) .. As for the Black Widow, she is rumored to appear but nothing has been concrete yet

if thats true, looks to me like they're going the ultimates route by making Hawkeye and Black widow SHIELD agents that would help stark in some way, and would help build towards the avengers movie...

i just hope for the LOVE OF GOD that if they have barton, they do him right. marvel has ruined several of my favourite characters on screen so far... i'd just like to see one done well...

I don't read Ultimates, how similar is Ultimate Hawkeye to normal Hawkeye? I'd prefer to see regular Hawkeye in the Avengers movie, but Black Widow is fine in Ironman 2, especially if they're going the SHIELD agent route.

Prob just a fake rumor.

Love the fake rumor, the guy who wrote forgot to mention that Toub was cast as Yinsen in the first movie

The date on that story is TWO YEARS AGO.

The guy was just guessing around the time the film was being made.
Apparently he couldn't be bothered to check his facts, and see Toub had been cast as Yinsen.

No More Nick Fury for Samuel L. Jackson?

Source:Los Angeles Times January 14, 2009

Samuel L. Jackson, who made a cameo appearance as Nick Fury in Iron Man, tell the Los Angeles Times that talks about him returning to the role in future Marvel Studios have broken down:

"There was a huge kind of negotiation that broke down. I don't know. Maybe I won't be Nick Fury. Maybe somebody else will be Nick Fury or maybe Nick Fury won't be in it. There seems to be an economic crisis in the Marvel Comics world so [they're saying to me], 'We're not making that deal.'"

I called Marvel Comics and they gave me a statement that suggested that they still want to see Jackson wearing the eyepatch. "Marvel does not comment on active negotiations," was the boilerplate repsonse, but there was that emphasis on the word "active" in the voice of the spokesman who phoned me back

Variety has posted an interesting article on how the studios are being cautious about spending money for movies in 2010 and 2011. Here's a surprising bit:

Then there is comeback kid Mickey Rourke, who is poised to follow his Golden Globe-winning performance in "The Wrestler" with an offer to play the main villain in "Iron Man 2" — but at a lowball opening offer of $250,000 from Marvel; Marvel's tactics have already prompted Samuel L. Jackson to swear off playing Nick Fury because of a similarly low offer.

$250,000 sounds pretty darn good to you and us, but when you think that Iron Man earned $582 million at the worldwide box office, plus DVD sales, then something doesn't seem right. Let's hope Mr. Rourke ended up getting a much better deal.

Looks like Marvel is paying cheap and is screwing up great things that is set in motion.

If Marvel isn't careful not too many people will want to be in their movies..

I can understand Rourke, but still pay him $700,000+ and as for Sam Jackson, he is the hardest working man in hollywood

Read a recent Wizard Magazine says Fraveau is looking at The Mandarian the same way the Emperor was handled with Star Wars Episodes 5 and 6.

Old and decrepit with a trace of pedophilia?

No, More to do with the way he was used especally with Empire Strikes Back "As an example of perfectly proportioned terror"

looks like Rouke is'nt crimson dynamo

Rourke Not Crimson Dynamo in Iron Man 2?
Source:MTV February 4, 2009

In January when trade reports announced that Mickey Rourke was in talks to play a villain in Iron Man 2, it was believed that he would take on the role of Crimson Dynamo. Robert Downey Jr. tells MTV that doesn't seem to be the case, however:

"That's actually incorrect," Downey told MTV News when asked if Rourke was being considered for the aforementioned Iron Man rogue. When pressed if, instead of Crimson Dynamo, Rourke was up for the role of Whiplash, another potential role bandied about on blogs these days, Downey had a more cryptic response.

"I can neither confirm nor deny that," said Downey. "Or maybe it's some semblance of both. Here, I can tell you everything about the story except I won't give away the ending. The nerd stuff is top-drawer security."

Stay tuned for possibly more on his role soon. Iron Man 2 is scheduled for a May 7, 2010 release

I read that that may be true, but then again perhaps not

WHOA - Scarlett Johansson could be appearing as the Black Widow? 😱

Replacing Emily Blunt, who has a casting conflict?

She'll have to go back to her red locks if she plays Natasha.
(At Marvel, the redhead rules.)
