Iron Man 2 Casting Update

So far it has been officially confirmed that Mickey Rourke has been signed on to play one of the villains (Whiplash we think) in Iron Man 2. They renegotiated with Marvel and he's now getting paid more.

It is also officially confirmed that Scarlett Johansson will be playing Black Widow now that Emily Blunt has declined the role.

And with Sam Jackson signed on too, there shouldn't be any major castings and they can start filming. Hooray!

no offense to Mickey Roarke since he's probably a nice guy in real life, but i think he has the evil villain look down pretty good without even trying

I know. He didn't exactly age well.
