1.8.09: New 'Iron Man 2' Rumors, Razzie Noms, and CES Tech Report

Latest Villainous Iron Man 2 Rumors

Man of the hour Mickey Rourke and indie actor par excellence Sam Rockwell might be joining the cast of Iron Man 2 as two of Tony Stark's newest enemies. Rourke's character, Ivan (aka Whiplash), will sport some serious tattoos and a bad-ass suit of armor himself; the Marvel character, however, has a different back story altogether, which you can read here. Meanwhile, Rockwell will play crooked biz man Justin Hammer. More at Hollywood Reporter.

Addendum: Apparently, there's quite some confusion over who Rourke and Rockwell are in talks to play. CHUD takes a closer look. Meanwhile, stay tuned!
