Mickey Rourke Officially IRON MAN 2's "Russian Villain"! Is Black Widow Cast, Too?
Beaks here...
The quick-to-publish Nikki Finke of Deadline Hollywood Daily has two items of significant interest for geeks this afternoon. First, she claims that Marvel Studios and Mickey Rourke have settled their salary squabble (in Rourke's favor), which means the real Best Actor of 2008 is officially on board as IRON MAN 2's "Russian villain" (which may or may not be the Crimson Dynamo). Since IRON MAN's greatest strength was its casting (and Favreau's direction of his actors), this is great news. (Finke also drops an intriguing tidbit re: Rourke almost taking a role as "the" baddie in SPIDER-MAN 4. I'm almost certainly reading too much into her wording, but is it possible that the James Vanderbilt/David Lindsay-Abaire script is limiting itself to one villain?)
The second item is a little less solid, but Finke's got excellent agency sources, so I'll go ahead and link to it as well. As expected, Emily Blunt is 100% out as Black Widow. Taking her place? Scarlett Johansson. According to Finke's story, this is somewhat surprising considering that Johansson was initially rejected after screen-testing for Black Widow months ago. But she's evidently back in the picture now that Fox is forcing Blunt to appear in GULLIVER'S TRAVELS (they had an option tied into her deal for THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA). Johansson's been in some dreadful movies of late, but she's a capable actress when well cast. Black Widow seems like something she could pull off.
Rounding out the day's IRON MAN 2 news, Jon Favreau (w/ DP Matthew Libatique) has something to show you.

i didnt call first because i have a dick
by supercowbell4therequestformorecowbell
first
-
Latest Bond girl would have been PERFECT for Black Widow. I've not even heard her named mentioned...
-
Fuck yeah. Rourke Rules.
-
Rourke is still going to rock this bitch.
-
fuck them in the ass!
-
Scarlett is only occasionally good. Rourke is almost always good. Why can't they get one or two "name" actors, and then fill the rest out with the unknown but talented actors? I hate seeing the same fucking faces over and over again.
-
Go Mickey
-
Mickey's speech at the Independent Spirit Awards was sheer lunacy. Hopefully he can bring some of that WTFness to the film.
-
...but it sure smells good!
-
i will forever not call first then point it out
-
Mickey Rourke IS Black Widow!!! (just kidding, I hope)
-
Also... the latest Bond girl... I know she's actually Russian, but is she that tan naturally or did they tan the hell outta her for the movie?
Cuz if she's that tan... it ain't gonna fly for the Black Widow. You need a pale chick with super red hair. Sexy time... very nice. -
screw a guy in the ass and not even give him the courtesy reach-around. What an a-hole.
-
Drinksss fo all mah friennnnzzzz!!!!
-
yeah i liked the last one alot it was fun and lots of action and rd jr was great heres to the 2nd as for spider man 4 lizard pete and mj get tie the knot just some stuff id like to see happen to webhead
-
C'mon, you know you want to hear the words, "Mandarin... OUT!"
-
this is why no one takes AICN seriously..
-
MMMM
-
Don't get me wrong, I have faith in Favreau, but something about this seems rushed. I hope I am wrong, because I really want this to be good.
-
The accent worries me. And she's a bit young to play a character that's been around the block a few hundred times. I'm thinking Rachel Weisz would be perfect, assuming she didnt overdue the accent. And the wigmaster didnt overdue the hair.
-
So will IRON MAN 2 be used to bring Black Widow in for THE AVENGERS? I'd rather see her in the flick than The Wasp.
-
lame
-
She's got that combinaton smoker's voice meshed with a deadpan indie chick. Black Widow should have a voice that's a few octaves lower than an average female anyways, coupled with the russian accent. I'm willing to see how she works it.
-
As second banana/straight man in Ghost World. And Lost in Translation. I may be missing some others, so feel free to remind me.
-
Only two Spidey villains that he would have been a GREAT fit for. I'm betting they're leaning towards Morbius.
-
I bet that iron man @ offer looked mighty fine tasty after loosing the oscar. And johanson? Hot as fuck but as great as a actor as a carbon rod.
-
can someone describe what Jon had to show, Im at work and the links not working.
-
Bham!
-
oh yes not being first gets you hot doesnt it? aww yeah
-
Welcome to last month.
-
IMDb!!!
-
This decade, she was fine in VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA, MATCH POINT, SCOOP, IN GOOD COMPANY, LOST IN TRANSLATION, GHOST WORLD and THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE. When she's bad, it's usually on account of being miscast.
-
Spiderman is getting thin in the villains who would work on screen department.
-
I'm not a huge fan of either, but one has charisma and acting chops and the other is good at looking sexy while staring longingly into space and not much else.
-
Yes, she is racked, but her performances are all milky-throaty hack jobs supported by her gigantic bazooms. Ghost world was the material. Not her.
-
Sam L Jackson and now Mickey Rourke. Awesome news.
-
In Spiderman 4. What a way to revitalise the series.
-
Black Widow.
-
You mean like as the Black Widow?
-
I just think the crew and team and way too innovative for such a ho hum title.
How about Iron Man: Sons of Steel? -
is lame
-
Just let him keep his wardrobe from Double Team and paint a moustache on him.
-
awful!!! theres something about her voice that bugs me...oh thats right SHE ISNT SCREAMING MY NAME AT THE TOP OF HER LUNGS WHILE IM POUNDING THE HAIR OFF HER PUSSY!! GOD HELP US ALL
-
That's my dream Spidey flick.
But it'll never happen of course, since Raimi and the producers seem to be keeping the franchise all sunny, PG, and silver age-y. Which (partly) explains the Venom debacle... But hey you never know, the success of The Dark Knight (and possibly Watchmen) could make it happen. -
that she'll be doing an accent right? I don't see that working well. Hope it does though. Blunt would have been really great. Also, I don't get this badass vibe from Johansson either. We'll see, if anyone can pull something out of her, it'll be Favs… that sounded dirty.
-
Come on. That sounds like some shitty port of the game on the DS or Game Boy or something...like 'sorry we couldn't just do iron man, we needed a quick thing to remind you that he's MADE OUT OF FUCKING METAL.'
Don't mean to sound like such a hater, but lets not worry about the title yet. I for one would rather it be Iron Man 2: The Iron-ening. -
Mar 11, 2009 8:18:03 PM CDT
raimi has darkness in him check out the scene in spidey 2
by supercowbell4therequestformorecowbell
when doc ocks claws are kicking the doctors and nurses ass. awesome.
-
Got the metal reference in too, sweet.
-
Bring on Mandarin!
-
Cause the third one was such a giant Fuck You to the fans,it was almost like they were saying " You want Venom,huh you want Venom motherfuckers, i'll give you Venom,and i'll give you finger snapping jive talking emo Peter Parker too bithces". Thats what I heard anyways. What a waste of film that movie was.
-
She's got great sweater puppies, but she's wooden as hell.
-
He'd be perfect

spiderman 4 has no hype from me
by supercowbell4therequestformorecowbell
weird because i hyped up all the other ones. i anticipated each one more and more until BAM! spiderman 3: stayin alive became the biggest dissapointment of my life
-
With the way hollywood is well prob get 'iron man 2: rise of war machine' or 'ironman 2: ironman vs war machine'
-
Is so wrong for Black Widow. Terrible casting there. She'll look good in tight black leather, no doubt, but the second she opens her mouth....
-
EPIC
-
Mar 11, 2009 8:46:52 PM CDT
Great news! Maybe Marvel has been listening to us?
by the reluctant austinite
Go Mickey! As far as "Spider-man 4" goes, I've read Raimi is interested in doing a Morbius vampire movie; a real horror show. I don't see Mickey as Morbius, but I'll think about it. I see Mickey more as the Rhino, but I'm not sure the Rhino is an interesting character enough to carry a movie.
-
Fifteen minute fight scene at the start of the movie. No need for him to be fully in the picture. Great henchmen thought.
Would love to see THe Rhino fight The Hulk on film. -
Mar 11, 2009 8:51:15 PM CDT
shouldnt have fuck venom over eh?
by supercowbell4therequestformorecowbell
maybe he couldve actaully had the balls to bring him over to spiderman 4. he tried to throw everything in spiderman 3, and ended up with a bloated shitfest. think about it. spiderman 3 was as long as the dark knight. and it wasnt busy with great performances and a good storyline, it was busy with numerous dance scenes and underdeveloping characters.
-
Black Widow. Come on... I know I am not the only one.
-
At least she was on "Robot Chicken" as the first person to utter the phrase "Crap in a hat" on TV. :)
-
Miscast? You mean when she has to play something other than herself? She sucked the life out of every scene she was in The Prestige. She might do the same with Iron Man 2. She's just not a good actress.
-
Spiderman 3 killed it for me. If they go in a darker direction maybe... Rourke is great, glad he's continuing to get work.
-
He still should've won that Oscar, but at least we have our Crimson Dynamo, damnit! Maybe he'll last longer than Iron Monger, hmm?
-
NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I have to admit the fact that Scarlett is pretty terrible at acting. She is uniformly one-note. I predict she will be in Playboy within three to five years. There's always a younger, prettier girl who comes along to supplant It Girls like young Scarlett.
-
Stark's house
-
Well, I didn't see that coming... Fuck.
-
Honestly, the stuff I've seen her in, including that Prada flick, is there some range that I am missing?
-
He was out before the Oscars happened, but now he is suddenly in? I am looking forward to this, even though I know nothing about the role he is playing, it is MICKEY ROURKE! Please no Scarlett Johansson. I love Scarlett as much as the next guy, but I just don't see her as a tough as nails bitch.
-
Whoever you are, you're a dipshit. And i'm still sorry Mickey didn't win the big one.
-
he was russian too, right?
why not -
But Olga Kurylenko would rock! If Favreau wants to cast the RIGHT people, instead of the hottie de jour, he should reconsider. Scarlett has nice tits, but she aint exactly a great actress. Olga would look better in the skin tight suit too. Mickey would be a great Kraven, when will will see Electro and Mysterio?
-
She does have great sweater puppies, which in turn makes ME wooden as hell. Her too. But me more.
-
I just can't see it. But hey I'm sure it'll be better than Superman Returns, what a pile of poo that was.
-
Didn't like her in the first one
-
Mar 11, 2009 10:35:17 PM CDT
Marvel certainly has cast their films well thus far.............
by crackerfarmboy
I'm glad they pulled their heads out of their asses and got Samuel L. Jackson and Rourke back in this film. I'm also excited by the rumors of Alexander Skaarsgard as Thor. We was the best thing in "Generation Kill" and he rocks in "True Blood".
-
Do you really think the role of Black Widow is going to require ACTING? Fuck no...as long as she can hold a gun,speak in a russian accent,and look hot in a half-unzipped black leather jumpsuit she'll be more than fine...
-
Also, has Blunt had any performances AS GOOD as Scarlet Johansen? Definitely not as bad, but any as good as Sc Jo at her best? I still gotta see her lesbian movie.
-
So this is not good news at all. The only thing that we can look forward too, is pictures of Johansson's tits in 2010. :)
-
And lovin it!
-
And lovin it!
-
He's a fellow chihuahua owner (or is it widow now?). It's nice he's getting all this attention, but to be honest the only crimson I like is Crimson Viper on Street Fighter IV. Only the Japanese could come up with a sexy spy girl who's also a milf, muhahahah
-
Really...in a world CHOCKED FULL of athletic Russian Actresses...we get Marilyn Monroe? Hot...sure, but why not get the REAL THING...and at a far cheaper price? You can not tell me there isn't at least 20 Hot, available, talented but undiscovered Russian Actresses out there? Look, Your typical(Non-AICN trolling) Iron Man fan only requires, and is paying for, Downey, Favreau and maybe Paltrow...and even at that, THEY don't know who the fuck Favreau is...only that they liked the movie, which the Studio rightly attributes to the director. Scarlett is NOT a draw...and most people under 35 don't know Rourke, unless they sneaked a peak at dads copy of 9 1/2 weeks, and have not seen The Wrestler. Marvel better be careful with the stunt casting...and concentrate on bringing the pain with the story.
-
one of the openly gay russian marvel universe super villains
it's time
we're ready for that
we've reached the point of actively searching for things to be acceptive of -
socially politically correct now
-
what would make it even better is if he was an ALBINO openly gay russian marvel universe super villain!
Oscar for Political Correctness sure! -
And that's about it.
-
have even one teaspoon of baby fat?
-
Emily Blunt might've been okay, but Widow should be Stark's same, inbittered with the agency age.
That's the 1st crap casting so far. -
But much less so about the Johansson rumour. She's pretty and all that, but she's kind of a shit actor. She had a great year in 2003 when she did Lost in Translation and Girl with a Pearl Earring, but then she's sucked in so many movies since, such as Match Point, The Island, The Other Boleyn Girl, and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. I don't think she's a good fit for this material at all, but I know lots of guys love to drool over her, so I'm likely in the minority with my opinion.But Rourke fucking rules. I can't wait to see him go up against Robert Downey, Jr.
-
Good news with Rourke, meh about ScarJo. I was cool with Blunt, she has an odd/exotic look to her which I thought could work for Black Widow.
This is the largest ensemble cast of recognizable names: Downey Jr, Rourke, Paltrow, ScarJo, Sam Rockwell, Sam L Jack, Don Cheadle, and Tim Robbins (cameo as Stark's pops).
We haven't seen this many 2nd to 3rd tier actors since what, "Crash"? -
I ain't mad about Emily not being Black Widow. I still think she will be cast as Cat Woman.
-
... and she actually did a great job as Pepper Potts. In fact, it was one of the best written/acted woman's roles in the comic genre. So, I'm willing to wait and see what happens with Scarlett.
-
Mar 12, 2009 1:16:23 AM CDT
If they're looking to cast a smoking hot American redhead...
by gracing the stage
... They'd get a hell of a lot more bang for their bucks casting Christina Hendricks ("Mad Men").
Just take a look at her two guest episodes in "Firefly". She demonstrates every attribute that would make for a terrific Black Widow, save for the accent. -
You give the performance of your career and your reward is...you get the play the generic villain in a dumb, bloated comic book movie. Awesome.
-
She's beautiful, but a poor actress. No subtext; she brings nothing to a character that isn't on the page. Check out the godawful performance in Black Dahlia--a performance where I had trouble deciding who was worse, her or Josh Hartnett.
But Rourke is GREAT news. -
Great call. Hendricks is SMOKING and a much better actress than Slow Jo.
-
Come one. It's so obvious. I don't need no stinkin' Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow.
-
it didn't come off as bland or pretentious like nolanman or the cryfest spidermen with unwatchable leads or singerman's weirdo s&m fantasies. Nor was it halfassed attempts like fantastic four or ghost rider. It waslked that fine line and was pure pulpy,
-
......do you mean like the Joker in Dark Night? That kind of generic villain in a dumb bloated comic book movie? Oh wait, what am I saying, Batman is not a dumb comic book movie. Is it? And Heath Ledger did not give a career defining perfomance in Brokeback Mountain prior to being cast as a,....what was that again?.....a "generic villain" in his next (sadly last) Oscar winning performance in "dumb, bloated comic book movie."
Then again it could just be silly Talkbackers making the usual generic dumb moronic statements as usual on AICN.
-
Show some loyalty man! That is all.
-
Russian villains are so yesterday's news. Also Johnasson is lifeless and too young to be a smart female assassin.
-
All Johansson needs are her glorious boobs. Nothing else is remarkable or special, and I guarantee if they made a ten-minute movie titled "Scarlett Johansson's Tits" three billion guys would show up and it'd make a killing at the box office.
-
Now that is one Neil Cumpston review I'd like to read. If I hadn't already bashed myself into a coma watching it before then anyway
-
Rourke: Great. Johansson: hot hot hot but dull dull dull. It's not just that she can't act. It's that she has no charisma. I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful woman with less charisma. Beauty usually gives you free charisma, but there's something about her that just drains it away.
-
Black Widow would be an excellent fit for Jamie Murray (Dexter), Kate Beckinsale (Underworld) or (if you want to go older) Helen Mirren. Mickey Rourke as Kraven the Hunter in Spidey 4 would rock out massive. Couldn't you just see him with that droopy tash and gotee, in that fucked up Lion Vest...KNOCKOUT!!
-
What is the point of casting a big guy like Rourke as Crimson Dynamo? It's the tech that gives them their powers. Suiting an ape would just cost more in materials. Scarlett Johansen is a good actress but she has that nonchalant/disinterested coolness that worked well in Ghostworld and Lost in Translation but seemed to suck the life out of Matchpoint and The Other Boleyn Girl.
-
I just hope they think this one through a little more.
-
..Rourke as Kraven. Also Jamie Murray gets my vote. If they cast Famke in another Marvel most proles would wonder how she came back after X3. How about Sean Penn for CD? he can do evil, he can do batshit and would be great going toe-to-toe with RDJ - but can he do russian? Bad accent or not as long as he brought that crazy afro from carlito's way I'd be there
-
..should have bigged you up for suggesting Kraven first. I am such a fucking amateur....
-
ScarJo is nothing but way over rated baby fat
-
...all Scarlet needs to do is look good, do a decent russian accent and kick some butt(stunt-double)! I think it's pretty safe to say she's got it covered. And yay for Rourke! But can we get on to The Mandarin? Tht's who we really want to see... And we all know we want him to be Ken Watanabe...
-
Mar 12, 2009 6:06:39 AM CDT
Why couldn’t they hire an actual eastern European to play the pa
by ominus
Olga Kuryelenko? i dont believe she would demand more money than the marvel would like to give.and she is hotter than scarjo.
-
thats the rumours i read in some other sites,along the above news.
he is perfect for the role,if thats true. -
A russian with a new yoaka accent, greeeeat!
-
Mar 12, 2009 7:31:06 AM CDT
I sure hope this is true. After Sam it seems they've finally go
by mr nicholas
-
The fucking guy looked so conspicuous he may as well have winked at the camera!
I hope Rourke can pull it off, his face might collapse before the cameras roll. -
That Stone Cold Steve Austin just joined the cast of The Expendables?!?! http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=53639
-
ScarJo as a Russian assassin. Dear lord.
-
...fucks up a franchise, again one that isn't even their own. Now we're going to have to listen to Scarlett friggin' Johansson try to imitate a Russian accent. Yeesh!
-
I like Scarlett Johansson just fine (What pencil-artist wouldn't want THAT body for a model?) ...but I'm not sure that she is right for this role. --In my opinion, her success or failure is mostly up to her. If she does her research and can get her speech pattern just right, who knows?
-
Black Widow is svelte, lithe, an athlete. Not a small, top-heavy girl with dead eyes.
-
lately she kind of sucks
-
But him as Kraven would be interesting. Scarlett is going to turn out to be a real bad choice for Black Widow, I like her, and she's gorgeous but this role won't work. They should have at least got Dushku but why not get Olga Kurylenko from the Bond movie she would have been perfect and she is well my favorite hottie.
-
Ahahahahahahahaah...aaaaa...hahaha, ahahahaha, ah ah ahahahah...ooooo aaaaa. Hmmmmmmm. In order to play a character in a bubblegum comic book movie that veers between camp and MTV in its sensibilities the lead actress needs to research her characer and develop her speech patterns? Oh man, that's priceless. She's a name, she's not a terrible actress, ergo she will swell the coffers by that little bit more. She is sexy, and it will give Tony somebody fascinating to flirt with...
-
Mickey can play Ivan the Ramski. I think he'll be great. Scarjo could play a cameo as a one-night stand that gets kicked out in the morning.
-
Well, she's hotter for one thing. I dare any of you to watch that scene (you know the one) from CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR and tell me otherwise.Don't get me wrong - Scarlett ain't bad...but she's getting worse. Blunt, on the other hand, is fucking gorgeous.
-
THAT will be the KEY for her. She needs to make her part REAL. If she gives a cartoon interpretation (so-to-speak), it will only be a BAD career movie. -Good luck, Scarlett.
-
Just. Shut. Up.
-
I'm so sick of these over exposed actors that are in everything.
-
Is this old news, or am I the first one who saw it? IMDB says he's in pre-production on Iron Man 2, as Ivan/Whiplash. Are they wrong? Old news? Or just ahead of everyone?
-
please no.
-
She's too gimmicky. She's not a respected actor i.e. Downey, Cheadle, Howard, Bridges or even Paltrow. People think Johansson and see passable art films and awful event films and giant knockers. That's it. Think of her speaking with a Russian accent. Ugh. And she's two "thick" and curvy. Widow should be slender and sleek. Not short and stocky.
-
compensates for that warrior movie that never got off the ground.
-
CGI.
-
Interesting. I always though Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was born to play Kraven, but I could see Rourke pulling it off. It would be nice ot see a return to form in the Spidey franchise after the cringworthy Spidey 3 (thank all the fanboys who clamored for Venom for that debacle).
-
both of those guys got critical acclaim and rejuvenated careers after appearing in independent movies that showcased their talent - "leaving las vegas" and "pulp fiction" - both went on to star in a steady stream of low-brow very big budgeted crappy movies - i hope rourke does some more "the wrestlers" before he settles back into movie star status
-
Obviously, I was too vague...so I'll be more clear. With such a character, dialect may be an important factor. Although,...THAT depends on the story,...what the character is doing and where she is, at the time. With the character being a Russian spy, the control over language dialect would seem rather important, to both the character and the actress. Is that clear enough for you?
-
Scarlett Johansson is the girl next door... that hangs out on her front porch smoking cigarettes bare foot, in tiny jean cut-offs and a tube top... with a chronic blank expression on her face... the girl next door that every neighboring dad secretly wants to bury his dick in
-
Relax, dude. Your sincerity was clearly intentional. I honestly thought you were taking the piss and it was damn funny.I thought you were being ironic. My bad. Thank you for clearing up your devastatingly profound analysis of performance mechanics...
-
I have to admit Scarlett is hot. I'm sure the costume they design for her will enhance her (ahem) assets. My only concern with all this is Marvel is supposedly having budget problems across the board, so I'm sure they're paying alot for Samuel L. Downey, and now Scarlett especially if they're all supposed to be in Avengers. On top of that, their original plan was to mesh Ant-Man, Captain America, Thor, and Hulk movies to eventually lead to Avengers movie. That would be great but will it happen as it seems like just paying Samuel L. Scarlett, and Downey is a huge cost in and of itself.
-
Mar 12, 2009 11:07:55 AM CDT
cool. Rourke will make it fun. not sure on Scarlett though
by smudgewhat

when this movie starts filming.
-
I hate to say this, I love Mickey Rourke but seriously, for all this comeback talk, what will his new career be? He's destroyed his face so much the only parts he can take are as villains and lovable meat heads, which he's already been playing. This is just like Thomas Haden Church's Spider Man 3 role. That said I hope he gets a huge payday on Iron Man.
-
Mar 12, 2009 11:38:44 AM CDT
Rourke should have won an award for his Indie Spirit speech.
by azultool
He's the best. He's my favorite boxing, tirade-causing, dog-carrying, plastic surgery addict on the planet. My girlfriend and I watched 'Year of the Dragon' the other night, and she didn't even know that was the same guy from 'The Wrestler'. I think the only positive developments from 2008 were the fact that Mickey was nominated for so many awards, and that Eric Roberts and Anthony Michael Hall were in the biggest movie of the year.
-
even if they dye her hair red and give her a Rooskie accent
-
Alicia Witt would be perfect. Christina Hendricks would be, um, interesting. Anne Hathaway might be able to pull it off, Olga Kurylenko is an obvious choice, and I've never not enjoyed watching Milla Jovovich do anything.
-
His casting doesn't sway me one way or another in seeing IM2. I saw The Wrestler and was underwhelmed. He was good in it but I don't understand all the newfound love. I have a hard time looking at his trainwreck of a face and get distracted and pulled out of his performance.
For me, Iron Man is all about Downey! -
Unfortunately, he's working. And he seems to dig his wife, so far. If I was him, getting text messages from someone that hot, I'd probably say: "The recession can wait. Barry needs some strange!"
-
along with thor, captain america, and the avengers. no more hulk
-
Don't ask me man - like that when I got here
-
and very, very true.
Lets hope everyone stays on the wagon long enough to get this one in the can. Oh..and ONCE AGAIN...NO SCARLETT. Find a REAL, Athletic, believabe RUSSIAN actress..who will cost half as much and deliver the goods. -
his face is fucked, and although sj is fit i'd rather see olga kurylenko
-
you wouldn't have to lowball her as im sure she's not that expensive
-
They're tying in Iron Man and Thor with this sequel. Crimson Dynamo will eventually be revealed to be Loki, Thor's adopted brother. You heard it here first. And also, the script for Iron Man 2 is basically a remake of the first one. So lame. Hopefully they change it up a bit by the time they film. And yes, they have hired a writer for The Avengers film, and that script is currently being hashed out. And no, you will not like the writer.
-
I say it every time.
This rumor is sad. Johanssen is wrong for this role. Get a chick who looks like she could actually throw a punch. -
Olga Kurylenko. She IS Russian and speaks English with an actual Russian accent. She's about a million times hotter than Scarlett Johannsen. She has beautiful, smoky, sexy, intelligent eyes (not bland and kinda doe-eyed like SJ). All she has to do is be badass without acting like a man (no easy feat). Think Ripley from Alien, Selene from Underworld (hate it or not, she's a badass and not remotely masculine), Trinity, etc...all badass women without any man-like bullshit (nothing more attractive than a badass woman who doesn't act at all like a man and nothing more unattractive than a badass woman acting exactly like a man.)
-
should be considered for BW. BUt id still fuck SJ, and yes Obama could nail her in a heartbeat, shit he might of already
-
RowdyRoddyStriper. That would be pretty fucking gay
-
Too young, too soft
-
It's been at least 6 months...why wait?
-
And really, that's all I want from my Black Widow; a red-head in tight black leather with a great ass. And way to go Mickey! Give Stan Lee a big bear hug for me when he drops by to shoot his cameo.
-
Seems weird to me, since, you know, Whiplash is a chick and all... from Delaware... and a mutant... Still, Rourke is trying to stretch his acting chops.
-
No...I mean like Jeff Bridges in Iron Man.
-
is sexy and can kick butt. Olga Kurylenko has sex appeal but does not have much of a stage presence. I thought she was great in Hitman, but she was kind of a let down in that Bond movie ... really sort of bland. She is simply not believable as someone who can fight. Milla can do it all with lots of charisma. Scarlett ... she's a better actor than Jessica Alba, but she's as believable as a super spy as Alba was a scientist in FF. "Black Widow is a world class athlete and gymnast, expert martial artist (including karate, judo, aikido, savate, various styles of kung fu, and boxing), markswoman, and weapons specialist as well as having extensive espionage training. She is also an accomplished ballerina. - Wikipedia"
-
is doable. this does make sense.

she's going to need A LOT of great directing to make her awesome. She won't be able to do it on her own. That fact that she is Ukrainian is a big plus. Scarlett is too cutesy and I really don't think she can pull off the accent, and forget having her throw a punch. Milla Jovovich is still the BEST for this role! Plus, she can carry a movie.

They should have an explosion explain Mickey's Face...
by balzacs_ballsac
...add it in to the storyline like SIN CITY and THE WRESTLER did and it works to his strengths as an actor which are awesome.

...but not in this necessarily.
But really, I would leave my wife for some of that. -
has rourke playing whiplash. the only whiplash i could find in the marvel universe is female, that cant be right can it?
-
Sorry for the confusion, but they're calling him Whiplash, not me. Whiplash became Blacklash, and he's a freelance, enforcer-assassin type who's real name is Mark Scarlotti. He has a cybernetic whip and costume, a purple cape, a mask with a green ponytail coming out of it, and looks overall whack. But he did fight it out with Iron Man and Spidey in a Marvel team-up in the 80's.

She is wrong, wrong, wrong. Please let this be a hoax.The character looks like she's in her 40s, yet is actually in her 60s. That's Famke Janssen, Milla Jovovich, Talisa Soto or Kate Beckinsale (who would have been perfect since she can even speak Russian).Does Favreau realize that Paltrow is a better suit for the Widow role than ScarJo is?
-
Gang -- she's way too young. Maybe she could play the role in a in a Super Squad version of Marvel's Avengers at some point. Then she'd be pitch perfect.Sorry, but I don't see someone even in their early 30's carrying a scene with the comparatively venerable cast of RDJ, Cheadle and Paltrow.
-
Any excuse to see her in bad-ass skimpy clothing. And she's got the chops, too....
-
I don't want the villians overshadowing Ironman! I'm tired of that in comic movies. Lets hope the script has the right balance

Looks the part, got the acting chops and professional acrobat as well. Plus, she'd have the Russian accent down pat.

While I agree with JimmyJoe's assessment of ScarJo....
by lanemyersclassic
to me she proved that she can be this action/comic book star by her performance in "The Island." She looked mature, hot, and ready to kick some ass. Blunt would've been the best, though.

Only one happy about this Scarlett casting...
by squidgy_faced_vigilante
...is Rob Downey Jr. That dude has to be one happy camper knowing he gets to play sausage-hiding games with her for a few weeks. We all know she gives it up to her co-stars gratis, each and every movie. Unless RDJ is gay, he is very happy right now...
-
Scarlett Johanssen still works. Mickey Rourke's face was perfect in THE WRESTLER, shoulda won a make-up Oscar. Waitaminute. Enthusiasm for IRON MAN 2 diminishes accordingly.
-
Mickey Rourke (fir those of us of a certain age) represents a time, possibly the last time, when movie stars had balls. He's been standing up and kicking back since sparking in "Body Heat" (still one of movie history's finest debuts); and yes he's been in some shit, and yes he's made mistakes but he REPRESENTS! And, just lately, all that baggage he drags with him is really starting to play. Case in point: Dwayne Johnson would make a perfectly acceptable PG13 Kraven the Hunter...but one look at Mickey's mug in Kraven's duds and you'd be sold! He looks like he's spent his whole life tangling with every wild thing on the planet! Scarlet Johanssen is nothing more than woodpecker fodder and should be dismissed accordingly! 'nuff said!
