First Look at Mickey Rourke in ‘Iron Man 2’

USA Today has unveiled the first look of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash in ‘Iron Man 2.’  The character’s outfit appears to have a power pack similar to Iron Man on his chest and he’s holding what I can only assume are powered whips.

“The technologies are definitely related, and that’s part of the core theme of the film,” says Jon Favreau about Whiplash and Iron Man sharing similar power packs.

The shot from above features the villain’s appearance at Monaco Historic Grand Prix.

Honestly, the outfit is rocking, but I’m really not digging on Rourke’s look.  It looks like Mickey Rourke.  They could have, at least, cut his hair, trimmed his ‘stache, taken out his gold tooth.  There are any number of things they could have done with this character to make him look a bit less like Mickey Rourke.

Whether that all becomes an issue or not will be determined when the film comes out on May 7, 2010.
