First Image of Mickey Rourke as Iron Man 2's Whiplash

Source:  USA Today
USA Today has just posted the first image of Mickey Rourke in Iron Man 2, which is currently filming and set for a May 7, 2010 release. Click below to enlarge this first image of Rourke as the Russian villian Ivan Vanko, a.k.a. Whiplash.

Mickey Rourke as Iron Man 2's Whiplash

Is that just me or does that get-up look like something made in a garage and/or a science fair? Rourke does look pretty bad-ass with all the tats and everything, but lets just hope this is the Mark I version of Whiplash...

Iron Man 2 will hit theaters nationwide on May 7, 2010.

Is it me or if they cast someone for Antman/Hank Pym, that Patrick Wilson is near perfect. Any thoughts?

I'm not a fan of Mickey Rourke, except in Sin City. I want to see Iron Man 2 but I have a feeling it won't be as good as the first. Maybe since it's leading up to The Avengers it has a shot.

This time Whiplash is Mickey Rourke, and Mickey Rourke can take on Iron Man. Plus, if you'd paid attention to other comments, you'd notice that this version of Whiplash is an amalgamation of Whiplash AND Crimson Dynamo

Whiplash is a wimp who is beaten every time by Iron Man, in the end he is killed by Ironmans Armour (don't ask).
Cant see much of story line there.
"look its whiplash!"
"But here comes Ironman"
Punch, whack,
End Crdits.

As I think on it, Whiplash looks like some decked out castle guard from the medieval ages. lolz! Plus he's on a racetrack!? wtf? haha. But it'll still be good with Mickey Rourke in that role.

That's right! Your not a genius. You're a fucking retard. I'm just judging your dumbass because your a fucking douche bag. It seems that I touched a nerve. Looks like someone got there feelings hurt. Ahhh poor baby. I'm not even talking about the pic dumbass. Stop taking up for your boyfriend joker. Let him fight his own battles. If you think it's annoying then don't read the fucking comments faggot. And I just hate your punk ass. I hope your death is slow and painful. When they bury you, I'll take a fat shit on your grave.

Nathan I'm so fucking sick of your stupid ass fucking insults. I'm a dick to YOU because you don't know your ass from your face. It's common sense, and it seems like all the people who are bitching about the damn fucking suit have none. I'm not a genius or anything, but at least I can look and judge accordingly/accurately. It's not that hard I promise. I'm not even trying to be rude but I'm just sick of stupid ass comments. You and New both talk shit to every person on every topic so I don't fucking even want to hear it. You called somebody I think it was Joker Wild that both of you said was stupid or something on page 2 I think. He didn't even fucking do ANYTHING wrong lol. His assumption of why he is on the race track etc was probably accurate. It makes more sense. If you also notice in the picture looks like some Naval uniforms in the background and one to Rouke's right, it's probably a test showing of the suit. Why are you guys getting so butt hurt over this picture lol? It's just ONE picture. And it's not even bad. Give up the tough guy routine Nathan it's getting old. I'm sick of you stalking me on here always calling me a name. If you wanna start shit then just say "I signed up to just shit talk people" then I will leave it be, but stop attacking ME cause you love me so much. Seriously, get a fucking another hobbie and stop worrying about what I'm saying (which is usually facts or close to). There is a big difference between proper information and your opinion. Your opinion is that you hate everyone, or at least a dozen people on here. You can't agrue with that because it's true. You fight with a lot of people. Always talking shit like usual. It's annoying. Shut up already with that crap man this is about movies not your weird internet fight obsessions. Give it a rest so I don't have to type all this crap again please, thank you.

I had to google Dranei lol I've only played the 10-day trial of WoW

It's not exactly what I had in mind, but if I read VLV, I'd probably feel different about Fin Fang Foom looking so dragon-like...the cover I described was pretty cool. He didn't look as cheesy looking
  (Delete)
June 11th, 2009 4:26pm
I didn't read that, but I read that an aspect of it is dedicated to Iron Man's first encounter with FFF. I googled it, and the second issue's cover features a nice shot of FFF and Iron Man.

June 11th, 2009 4:24pm
@ VIS: you mean a Dranei, WoWfag?

Just kidding man, but seriously, that's pretty much what you described, and it has no place in a Marvel movie, unless the do a WoW GN.

June 11th, 2009 4:20pm
@ anyone discussing Fin Fang Foom: Didn't you guys read Viva Las Vegas?

@ those confused about Rourke's character, I Repeat: The reason he looks like nothing we've seen before is that he's a fusion of Crimson Dynamo and Whiplash. People need to do a fucking google search before they start posting idiotic crap.

The only way they'd be able to pull off Fin Fang Foom is to make him look less like a dragon lol He's an alien being...they can mess around with that concept so it stays in the sci-fi realm. Make him look something like a human/dragon hybrid...big strong guy with scales and wings. It could be cool if done right.

why does this always turn into a pissing contest, we're all writing here to discuss the pic, not have a biggest dick contest. Ivan Vanko is the name of The crimson dynamo in the new iron man animated series. Rourke's Ivan Vanko is going to incorporate both characters, and I believe there calling him whiplash here because his weaponry models the comic version of whiplash. Really he'll be playing more the role of dynamo as he is a russian expatriate.

Well, CBF, as far as the movies go, I think they'll have to wait a little while on Fing Fang Foom. Maybe they can have him team up with Mandarin. But the Sci-Fi lineup isn't ready yet, to me.

Your such a dick chad. That was a direct comment. Let's not get it twisted like you did on a previous page. I shouldn't have to go into detail on that Corky.

It's clearly a prototype you guys. Use your brains. Do you honestly THINK (try that) that this outfit could match up against Iron Man's suit lmao? There's no fucking way, one shot from Iron Man and Rourke would be dead. I swear to God stupidity is a fucking plague these days. Common sense people.
