After a lot of back and forth, Deadline Hollywood Daily has confirmed today that Mickey Rourke has officially signed on to play a villain in Iron Man 2:

I just heard that ICM has scored its second casting deal for Marvel's Iron Man 2. After at first being low-balled by the studio to the tune of $250K, Rourke has signed on for the role of the Russian villain in the sequel after his agent David Unger got the quote up to a "significant" level despite this punishing economic climate where the studios are taking advantage of talent. (No wonder Mickey kept thanking Unger so profusely in acceptance speeches for the BAFTA, Golden Globes, Spirit, and other awards.) But don't expect Marvel to confirm any of this: they won't until all the i's are dotted and t's crossed on the contracts. I can also tell you that Sony was considering hiring Mickey to play the villain in Spider-Man 4.

Director Jon Favreau will start shooting Iron Man 2 very soon for a May 7, 2010 release date

I haven't been paying much attention to the developments for a long time.

So basically there is definitely no Mandarin, yes? 🙁

There is a Mandarin but they're leaving him for the third movie.

which should be great..

even though its early who would some choices for Mandarin?

Scarlett Johansson will be black widow now.

I hope War Machine and Iron Man team up.

Crimson Dynamo and Black Widow in IM2? Not bad. Hopefully they also have a connection to the 10 rings of Mandarin.

I think they are saving War Machine for part 3, but maybe they will change their minds and he will be in this one..

I am just glad he is in this

If he's playing Whiplash then who's playing Crimson Dynamo ?

I just want to see Scarlett in the Widow's tight outfit.droolio

And of course, she has to go back to her natural red locks.

prolly no one, but what i think may happen, maybe all this talk of Mickey portraying Whiplash is just a smokescreen and he is playing Dmitri Buckharin after all

At this point I don't really care what character he's playing, I'm just relieved to have him officially on board, heard nothing but praise for this man so I want to see what he can do. I'm also happy about the Scarlett Johansson casting. Looks like Emily Blunt is going to miss out....BIG time.

Not much of a posting, but SuperHeroHype.com had this(at least the ball's rolling):

I saw that.. I'm glad they have started.. I think it will be interesting to see Downey's scenes with Cheadle as Rhodey as opposed to Downey's scenes with Howard as Rhodey

some news..
