Mickey Rourke Out of ‘Iron Man 2’

“Right now, we’re not doing ‘Iron Man 2’.

Those were the grim words Mickey Rourke told Vulture over at New York Magazine this week at Bryant Park.

There is no word as to the reasoning behind Rourke saying this, but pay seems to be the main reason if you listen to the rumors out there.   If that is the case, for shame, Paramount and Marvel.   This guy deserves a decent paycheck if he is going to be your main villain.   If it’s going to be more of a cameo appearance, than okay, maybe Rourke shouldn’t be taking those parts, anyway, but it sure seemed a few months back that he was up for a major role.

We’ll just have to wait and see if a deal can get worked out or if Rourke’s time on ‘Iron Man 2’ is over before it even got started.
