Mickey Rourke as "Whiplash" (or at least the pre-arch enemy version) in "Iron Man 2".

Hey, Nicholson did it and stole the show, so who knows. John O. Lou Dalmaso 06-12-2009, 10:31 AM I'm not that familiar with the property.. Why does he have a "heart light" like Tony? Jafo 06-12-2009, 10:38 AM no idea. i have every single ironman issue and his character(Whiplash) did not have that. but it is the movies.....

Hey, Nicholson did it and stole the show, so who knows. John O. It's gotta be demeaning to be in the followup to a big blockbuster with a massive fan base and play second fiddle to people like Robert Downey, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle or Samuel Jackson. A truly horrible turn of events for an actor. :) Zorro 06-12-2009, 02:53 PM Maybe it'll be fine, but it's a little sad to see him go from what he did in The Wrestler to playing a comic-book bad guy. Hey, Nicholson did it and stole the show, so who knows. John O. Actually. Rourke's performance as Marv (a comic-book bad guy) in "Sin City" is essentially the role that put him back in the game. A great actor is a great actor and "comic-book" roles are perfectly suitable to the craft. Let's see: Marlon Brando Gene Hackman Jack Nicholson Michelle Pfeiffer Tommy Lee Jones Willem Dafoe Alfred Molina Ian McKellen Michael Caine Gary Oldman Heath Ledger Kevin Spacey .... to name just a few. ;) John O 06-18-2009, 07:31 AM Actually.

A great actor is a great actor and "comic-book" roles are perfectly suitable to the craft. Well made point, and I agree now that you've reminded me. In fact, I loved Pacino in Dick Tracy; his performance is the only part of that movie to stick with me over the years. John O. John P 06-18-2009, 07:37 AM Actually.
