Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell

Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell are in talks to play a villain in “Iron Man 2” for director Jon Favreau and Marvel Entertainment. According to Variety, Mickey Rourke is currently in talks to play the villian (Crimson Dynamo) opposite Downey Jr.’s hero in this new action adventure. And Sam Rockwell is set to play Justin Hammer, a multibillionaire businessman and a rival of industrialist Anthony Stark. If the two join the cast, which is entirely likely considering these stories don’t get reported unless they are very close, Rourke and Rockwell would be joining, Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle, who is replacing Terrence Howard, in the big-budget flick which is expected to start in the Spring in Manhattan Beach for a May 7, 2010 release. Justin Theroux (“Tropic Thunder” co-scribbler) writes here and the script is being kept under wraps. The first film was budgeted at $140 million and grossed an impressive $318 million domestically and over $263 million in overseas numbers.

After the Cold War ended the base it was positioned at became abandoned leaving him and his comrades. During a fight, the Order’s member Infernal Man, set off an enormous explosion which was detected to be a nuclear blast activating the Crimson Dynamo and the rest of the Soviet Super Soldiers. They confronted the Order on their way to California where they were to wreak havoc. The Order found them to be nuclear and sought to find their base of operations. On Drenkov Island, Calamity found the three men controlling the Soviet Super Soldiers. Unable to kill the three sleeping men, due to moral values, Supernaut was sent to finish them off. Aralune sensing they only had one chance left ate the bomb and absorbed the blast. The blast apparently destroyed the Crimson Dynamo. [source: Marvel]
