First Look at Mickey Rourke as Whiplash!
Source:Paramount Pictures
June 9, 2009


USA Today and ScreenRant have published a first look at Mickey Rourke as villain Whiplash at the Monaco Historic Grand Prix in director Jon Favreau's Iron Man 2, opening in theaters on May 7, 2010. Rourke stars with Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Favreau, Sam Rockwell, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Garry Shandling, John Slattery, Kate Mara and Clark Gregg in the sequel.

Whiplash sports a power pack on his chest that looks similar to the one used by Iron Man. "The technologies are definitely related, and that's part of the core theme of the film," says Favreau.

The character's alter ego, Ivan Vanko, is a Russian who, Favreau says, "has constructed his own version of a suit." Among the creative alterations: a pair of whips, powered by the suit's glowing chest piece. Whiplash "is going to light them up," says Rourke.

I mean Iron Man's technology is near extra-terrestrial, how can I guy with two whips catch Iron Man if he can fly into upper orbit and shoot a laser beam down on him?

... Whiplash and Crimson Dynamo.

The pics that we are seeing now, I am guessing, are not the final version of what Whiplash will be wearing. I am guessing he is going to have armor of some sort.

if you know where the Dam is at in balboa park, you have been seeing a bunch of cargo carriers as can be seen from the 405 freeway that they will be filming a lot of ironman there i think it is a huge green screen that they have been building
456716, Iron Man 2...I'll pass....
Posted by da_illest_one, Thu Jun-11-09 08:04 PM
I haven't seen any of the action blockbusters for this season, I'll most likely have to pass on it next year two...

This one is silly, Mandarin is Iron Man's Joker. I can't see why they would wait until the third film to have him as a villain. I mean Whiplash was a C-list villian who ran with other lame-Os like Blizzard and Whirlwind. All three of them couldn't carry a film.

I'll wait until Marvel releases The Avengers in 2012...

Posted by Wordup, Thu Jun-11-09 08:16 PM
Because it wont have that background/history of the first. Its the thing that I liked about Batman Begins.

Not to mention his identity is revealed.

I dunno, fam!
463697, the identity being revealed is something I look forward to
Posted by buckshot defunct, Tue Jul-21-09 03:28 PM
We haven't really seen that done in a superhero movie yet. Could be fun.

The only thing that I'm skeptical about is the villain. This was the weakest link of the first flick, and it looks like Whiplash may continue that trend. That said, after seeing The Wrestler a couple weeks ago it's clear to me that Mickey Rourke doesn't need to be given a whole hell of a lot to put on a memorable performance.

i'm saying...and on the real i think she's sexier and more beautiful than scarjo anyways...not to mention a much better actress.

either way, i hope this works out between scarlett being cast and them recasting jim rhodes character. i'm still hyped tho.

Yeah me too. I'm glad I finally caught her scenes in Charlie Wilson's War & Dan in Real Life. She bout it.

No doubt

I was happy to hear Cheadle replaced Howard. From his opening line, Terrance was sounding a lil too soft for that role. Cheadle always brings it. Blunt would've been a much better Black Widow tho. They should've waited another few months or a year or however long it took to accommodate her schedule.

It makes no sense to face Iron Man with ya nips out. Dude was taking out tanks in the first flick.

Unless Whippy has a forcefield and shit.
463944, I have a feeling that's not the full/final costume.

Meaning. Lots of product placement, and generally a weak plot with lots of Cadillac's.
463998, This is a Robert Downey Jr. flick. No chance of that happening.

The 5-minute long clip starts off with Tony Stark in the Iron Man armor, sans helmet, eating a donut. The camera pans back and reveals that he’s sitting in the “Randy’s Donuts” sign. Samuel L. Jackson then walks into the scene as Nick Fury, shouting at Tony Stark to come down from the donut.

The two then have donuts and coffee together. Fury asks Stark to join a superhero group, Stark insists that he is a loner.

The scene then switches to CNN coverage of a trial. Gary Shandling portrays Senator Stern, and is grilling Stark about owning a high-tech weapon. Shandling demands Stark turn the Iron Man armor over to the U.S. government. Stark insists he won’t, then utters his famous, “I am Iron Man.” He says that turning the armor in would be akin to prostitution.

Don Cheadle makes his first appearance as James Rhodes in this scene. Stark and Rhodes have a cool exchange, and then Rhodes sits down at the trial. Tony Stark tells Senator Stern that he’s “welcome” for protecting the U.S. He then turns to the reporters and shouts, “I’ve successfully privatized world peace!”

Senator Stern, not happy with Stark’s antics, drops two “fuck you!”s on Stark, both bleeped out.

Following that scene, we see Mickey Rourke working on the Whiplash armor. Scarlett Johannson as Black Widow is then shown. Several quick action shots are shown, including Iron Man getting shot out of the sky, Stark and Natasha Romanov dancing and Whiplash at a race track. The clip ends with Sam Rockwell, playing the role of Justin Hammer, showing a bevy of advanced weapons to James Rhodes. “Give me something here, you’re like the sphinx,” Hammer says, “I can’t read you.” “I’ll take it,” Rhodes says. “Which one?” Hammer asks. “All of them,” Rhodes replies.

The clip ends with an action shot of War Machine, shooting three different guns in three different directions.

“I can’t believe your rig is better than my rig,” Downey Jr. said to Cheadle after the lights came back up. “It was a contractual thing,” Cheadle joked back.

Favreau thanked the Comic-Con crowd, and told them that they made the trailer specifically for that crowd.

“It all started here,” Favreau said. “Nobody cared (about Iron Man) before you guys did, and now we have a hit movie… and we want another one! From the standpoint of marketing, everyone knows (about Iron Man). But we wanted to do something for you guys, to say ‘thank you.’”

**********************************************

I don't see what all the hate/skepticism is about, looks like IM 2 could be better than the first one and I don't see why it won't be,
464787, Anyone else worried that there are like 9 different heroes in this film?
Posted by Lardlad95, Mon Jul-27-09 07:04 AM
Ok, maybe not that much....but Iron Man, War Machine, Black Widow, Whiplash/Crimson Dynamo, and Nick Fury...

I'm afraid that it'll get a little "busy"....

464832, I'm not. The Marvel Universe is a crowed place... I want the film to be packed
Posted by kevlar skully, Mon Jul-27-09 11:38 AM


as long as its fun, and entertaining, and doesn't take itself too seriously. No killing important characters left and right and no long boring monologues about love or duty or whatever .

I don't see why it won't retain the same quality as the first one... With the origin story out of the way, I expect Iron Man to interact with the Marvel U.

I could see it working really well with War Machine and Black Widow sub-plots running with Iron Man's interaction with Fury/Government and Whiplash
464935, It is a crowded place, and if they can pull this off, it'll give me
Posted by Lardlad95, Mon Jul-27-09 04:47 PM
more hope for the avengers movie, cuz having a super hero ensemble seems like a difficult task...I mean the X-men franchise fucked that shit all up...and Wolverine....if I had a gun I would have shot the screen..

Still though, I feel like there's a positive correlation betweent eh number of superpowered characters and the movie sucking.

Posted by kevlar skully, Tue Jul-28-09 05:00 AM


I understand the feelings behind X-Men and its sequels, but the people behind the movies are totally different and there ain't half the super-powered people in Iron Man as in any X-men movie

Rhodes, Fury, and SHIELD are already introduced, they'll just play bigger roles in this flick, but Tony is still the main focus.

I think the bias is against superhero films in general and it makes sense, but I'm gonna reserve judgment on IM2 until they give me a better reason than adding more characters and furthering the story.
464850, Perhaps. Depends on how much shine they give em
Posted by BigReg, Mon Jul-27-09 12:22 PM
I don't think they are stupid enough to forget that the entire Iron Man franchise= Downy Jr. Pretty much the only time the other characters should be on the screen is to help move the plot forward/give Downey enough time to take a piss in his trailer.

464857, Screw it. If Downer's in it, I'm there
Posted by spenzalii, Mon Jul-27-09 12:37 PM
His portrayal of Stark made the movie for me, silly plot points notwithstanding. Doubt that will change here.
