 First Pic of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash in Iron Man 2  Quote: Whiplash (Mickey Rourke) sports a power pack on his chest that looks similar to the one used by Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.). "The technologies are definitely related, and that's part of the core theme of the film," says director Jon 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, expected to keep Iron Man cracking. Whiplash "is going to light them up," says Rourke.
This first image of the character shows the villain making an appearance at the Monaco Historic Grand Prix.

Re: First Pic of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash in Iron Man 2 The villians look very boring. Im not even sure if its going to make as much as the first movie but seems like people think it will. The thing with sequels is that they usually bring in more interesting characters

The thing with sequels is that they usually bring in more interesting characters Ot doesn't matter in this case...the original was really well-liked and all and with its release date a $125+ million opening is pretty much guaranteed. And legs won't be terrible either. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: First Pic of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash in Iron Man 2 Why couldn't they go with the Mandarin as the Villian? Don't get me wrong Mickey is a great actor and all but Whiplash and I think Crimson Dynamo don't really interest me at all. I will still go see this movie but IMO like El Murato I think the Villians look boring.

Re: First Pic of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash in Iron Man 2 As much as I like Iron Man, WTF? Rourke is playing the Wrestler again but nuclear powered?

Re: First Pic of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash in Iron Man 2 I dont know much about Iron Man. Though I liked the first movie.
I also dont know enemies like Whiplash.
And from that point of view I have to say....It looks quite ridiculous.

Re: First Pic of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash in Iron Man 2 Finished or not, they made it look like a sequel to a $300 grosser.

Re: First Pic of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash in Iron Man 2 That picture looks like something from a Mad Max sequel.
