Mickey Rourke Slams 'Iron Man 2' Collaborators For Destroying Whiplash

Posted 11/8/11 11:53 am EST by in Marvel, News


Mickey Rourke isn't one to keep his opinions to himself. The actor is well known for his candid remarks in interviews, and he's making headlines once again as he makes the press rounds for "Immortals," his upcoming swords-and-sandals epic directed by Tarsem Singh.

Recently, Rourke's had a lot to say about his work on "Iron Man 2," an experience he doesn't seem to have enjoyed too much. He took Marvel executives to task for leaving the meat of his Whiplash performance on the editing room floor in an interview with Crave Online. Now, speaking with MTV News, Rourke's had more to say about his disappointment in the "Iron Man" sequel.

Posted 10/12/11 1:40 pm EST by in Marvel


Iron Man

If you were disappointed by "Iron Man 2," you're not alone: even Robert Downey Jr. has expressed his own dissatisfaction with the superhero sequel.

"With the second 'Iron Man' there were certain aspects that were dissatisfying and disappointing to me but at least they lit me right," he admitted during an interview with The Los Angeles Times.

MTV Movie Awards: Iron Man & Hit-Girl Are 'Biggest Badass Star' Contenders

Posted 6/2/11 11:16 am EST by in Marvel, News


Our introduction to the 2011 MTV Movie Awards nominees hailing from the comic book movie world continues today with another double-dose of actors portraying some of last year's most popular costumed heroes.

In the "Biggest Badass star" category, "Kick-Ass" star Chloë Grace Moretz and "Iron Man 2" headliner Robert Downey Jr. go up against a trio of other brawlers who kicked no small amount of butt on the big screen in 2010. And just in case you need a reminder why Moretz and Downey are in the mix, we've put together a little refresher video for each of them.

Robert Downey Jr.
Let's face it: Iron Man wasn't a household name until Downey made the role his own, and he continued to keep the armored Avenger on everyone's minds last year in "Iron Man 2." Not only did he have a climactic brawl with "Best Villain" nominee Mickey Rourke, but he also had a memorable showdown with Don Cheadle, who had everyone looking forward to his debut as War Machine. Oh, and on top of all that, he donned the briefcase armor — what more can fans ask? (*cough* Mandarin *cough*) Read More...

MTV Movie Awards: 'Best Villain' Category Offers Two Nominees From Comic Book Movie World

Posted 6/1/11 12:43 pm EST by in News


There are just a few days left before the 2011 MTV Movie Awards, and that means time is dwindling for you to cast your votes. Naturally, we're hoping to see a few of the nominees from the last year's comic book movies walk away with trophies, but it's up to you to make that happen!

Yesterday, we introduced you to the sole comics-world nominee from the "Best Fight" category, and now it's time to get acquainted with the "Best Villain" contenders. The two representatives from MTV Splash Page turf are Mickey Rourke as Whiplash in "Iron Man 2" and Christoph Waltz as Chudnofsky (or Bloodnofsky) from "The Green Hornet." Check out some highlights from both their performances below:

Mickey Rourke as Whiplash
In "Iron Man 2," Rourke played a Russian criminal who wreaks havoc on Tony Stark's armor — and his life — after he teams up with Stark's business rival, Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell). Read More...

'Iron Man 2' Nabs Only Oscar Nomination Of 2010 Comic Book Movies - Should There Have Been More?

Posted 1/25/11 11:13 am EST by in Marvel, News


Iron Man 2When last year's Oscar nominations were announced, we lamented the fact that "Coraline" was the closest we got to a nod for a film based on a comic book property. This year, we have one very clear comic book movie in the mix, "Iron Man 2," but it remains the sole representative of the comics world.

The 2011 Oscar Nominations were announced today, and "Iron Man 2" received a nomination in the "Visual Effects" category. The only comic book movie named in this year's nominations will face stiff competition in the category from "Alice in Wonderland," "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1," "Hereafter," and "Inception."

Sure, 2010 wasn't exactly the strongest year for comic book movies, but was "Iron Man 2" the only project worth a nod? I'd argue that there's another movie that could have made the list, too. Read More...

Mickey Rourke Hasn't Seen 'Iron Man 2' Yet... And Doesn't Want To!

Posted 10/7/10 9:46 am EST by in Marvel, Video


You have to hand it to Mickey Rourke. When you ask him a question, he answers it, and he rarely opts for the PR-friendly response. Some actors can't get away with that approach — but those actors aren't Mickey Rourke.

For example, when MTV News caught up with Rourke at the Toronto International Film Festival a few weeks ago and asked him about "Iron Man 2," the actor offered a brief response that, well... you just have to see for yourself.

"No," Rourke told MTV News when asked if he'd seen "Iron Man 2" yet. He then offered the same response ("No") when asked if he had any interest in seeing the blockbuster sequel to 2008's "Iron Man."

But it's the next response that's the real kicker, folks. Read More...

Posted 9/15/10 10:01 am EST by in Hot Stuff, Marvel


We're just a few weeks away from the arrival of "Iron Man 2" on DVD and Blu-Ray, but we have yet another sneak peek at one of the bonus features you'll find on both versions of the film.

Last week, we brought you "Iron Man 2" director Jon Favreau's memories of working with DJ AM during the party scene at Tony Stark's mansion, and this week we have a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most memorable scenes from the film: the brawl at Monaco Grand Prix.

As anyone who's seen the movie knows, this scene also marked the debut of Tony's briefcase armor (a.k.a. the Silver Centurion armor). Read More...

New 'Iron Man 2' DVD/Blu-Ray Bonus Feature: War Machine In The Japanese Garden

Posted 9/14/10 10:01 am EST by in Marvel, News


"Iron Man 2" hits shelves later this month, and even though we already brought you a complete list of the "Iron Man 2" DVD/Blu-Ray special features, a few of the featurettes included in both formats have already hit the 'net.

Last week, we gave you a peek at "Iron Man 2" director Jon Favreau reflecting on his time with DJ AM on the set of the film. Today, Movies Online has posted a featurette that spotlights the climactic battle between Iron Man, War Machine, and a host of robotic drones in a beautiful Japanese garden.

My favorite part of the footage? Seeing Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle dressed in motion-capture suits and the Iron Man and War Machine helmets, respectively. It's a weird sight, right? Read More...

'Iron Man 2' DVD & Blu-Ray Teaser: Marvel Movie Easter Eggs In Special Features?

Posted 8/25/10 12:14 pm EST by in Marvel, News


The "Iron Man 2" DVD & Blu-Ray arrives on shelves September 28, but a new teaser for the release indicates that there could be a lot more in store for Marvel movie fans who pick it up.

Iron Man 2

Posted over at Amazon, the "Iron Man 2" teaser spotlights many of the special features on each format, as well as an exclusive Blu-Ray feature: the "S.H.I.E.L.D. Data Vault." While it's to be expected that the DVD & Blu-Ray will hype some of the Marvel's upcoming slate of movies, what caught my eye were a few shots that included specific references to Marvel movies like "The Incredible Hulk" and the scene with Captain America's shield in "Iron Man 2."
