[...] Johansson as Black Widow along with the highly anticipated introduction of War Machine. Director Jon Favreau has plenty to work with for Iron Man 2 already for his action [...]

@ Future Boy
That’s a good theory, but why would they put Russian tattoos on his exposed skin if they were just gonna cover ‘em up with CGI armor?

arell, the “half suit” comment is most likely similar to what we see RDJ wearing inside the doughnut…I.E. the rest of the suit gets filled in with CGI to allow the actors better movement.

Was that Micky’s real body in The Wrestler? If so, he just needs to stay bulky because that look would work. They can call him Teenybop for all I care; just match, at least, the first movie. Fav’s is fast becoming my favorite director.

@ Iron Patriot, Howard Hughes’ bodyguard? Nice reference!

@ Vic, I could probably accept that if that’s what’s going to happen. It would also explain why they’ve been so hesitant to say the name of the darn villain.

Shiny. Rourke was magnificent in The Wrestler & Sin City, so I’ll be happy whether he’s playing Crimson Dynamo, Whiplash, Crimson Whip, Dynamic Lash, or Wilford Brimley.

Over at the forums at http://www.advancediron.org/forums it’s being discussed that perhaps Rourke starts out as Whiplash, gets his butt kicked and then comes back as Crimson Dynamo…

Ah, sweet speculation!

The prospect of a “half-suit… half my skin showing” outfit doesn’t ease my mind much. All Iron Man has to do is zap Rourke in the fleshy bits!

I still ain’t buying its whiplash. He never once said Whiplash. A Russian in an “Iron Man” suit? C’mon already!

Here’s the deal guys.

Jon has lifted some choice plot points from Crimson Dynamo’s back story. He doesn’t want people poring over back issues trying to get clues about what happens in the movie. His only choice? Send up red herrings and false rumors. Rourke plays a Russian dude in a mech suit, doesn’t take a Mensa member to figure out who that character is.

I wish Favreau would come out and definitively say that Crimson Dynamo or Titanium Man aren’t in the film. I think that Rourke will be playing a character that is an amalgam of Whiplash and Dynamo.

I think I am going to go home after work tonight and watch Iron Man again.

I am of the opinion that right now the only 2 directors who should make superhero movies are John Favreau and Christopher Nolan.

Can’t wait to War Machine in action….

*nerdgasm*

sweet facts

with such a comment from favs, its all we need to know that Iron man will indeed be sporting a new armored hero (WM) and that it will be kickass like we all want

I don’t know what to say.

Bleh… so it is Whiplash. Or a hybrid of Crimson Dynamo and Whiplash… since the Whiplash (now known as Blacklash) of the comics isn’t Russian in his origin. Somewhat strange, but I guess Iron Man doesn’t have much of a rogues’ gallery anyway.

This feels like kind of a warm-up to Iron Man 3 to me, because we all know Mandarin will be the villain in that one. I suppose it’s not too bad an idea. Well, I’m sure the scenes of both Iron Man and War Machine in action should be enough to satisfy for now.
