The first picture of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash - Tony Stark's nemesis in Ironman 2 have just been released. How god damn cool does this look?

This pic shows Rourke as Whiplash turning up at the Monaco Grand Prix for a showdown with Ironman.
Director John Favreau is keeping schtum about plotlines, but as we can see Mickey is sporting a remarkably similar chest plate to Robert Downey Junior's character - Tony Stark.

"The technologies are definitely related," says director Jon Favreau. "That's part of the core theme of the film.

Ivan Vanko (Rourke), is a Russian who "has constructed his own version of a suit," Favreau says.

Among his weapons are a pair of whips, powered by the suit's glowing chest piece.

"We like to play into and against the expectations that people might have, so we mixed it up a bit," Favreau said (and no-one understood)

The original Ironman movie grossed $318.4 million and the sequel's release date of April 30th 2010 was announced just a week after it's opening.

CANNOT FUCKING WAIT.

    Usually I'm anti-remake, but I hope this one happens. And while they're at it, do a Thundercats one as well. That would be funny as fuck.

  • You know something - you're right - HE HAS THE POOOOOWER!

  • Kwebb's right, that's the exact same breastplate and harness that He-Man wore. Is Mickey also wearing bison-skin speedos and uggs?

    So if they're remaking Masters of the Universe casting old chewed up pieces of biltong in leading roles, will Pamela Anderson be playing She-Ra?

  • Worst film I saw on a plane was Sliding Doors. Dubbed into German with Japanese subtitles.

  • Looks like The Wrestler got transferred into Transformers. What does he turn into, a leather sofa?

  • I watched the first one on a long haul flight, drunk from the tiny gins I had 'craftily' 'stolen' from the hostesses. Anyway...despite my stupor, I can safely say it was the second worst movie I watched on that flight. The worst was Sex and the City, with the swearing and cock-full-frontal cut out. All in all, rubbish.

  • I'm sorry sir, it's your Grandad. He's had a terrible accident on his allotment. But...we can...rebuild him.
