MICKEY ROURKE BACK IN IRON MAN 2?
03.09.09
Stop pretending you’re immune to it, the man is adorable.
Mickey Rourke was offered a part as a villain in Iron Man 2 a while back, but the word on the internet is that Marvel initially low-balled him, and ever since, the line has been that “negotiations are ongoing” (maybe Clayface just doesn’t want to sign a 15-year contract like Sam Jackson). Over the weekend Rourke sparked more rumors with this exchange with photographers.
PHOTOGRAPHER: (unintelligible)
ROURKE: Iron Man 2.
PHOTOGRAPHER: Iron Man 2?
ROURKE: You bet your ass.
Sounds like negotiations are going well. But then again, there can be a wide gulf between “something is happening” and “Mickey Rourke thinks something is happening.” Also, “you bet your ass” is just one of the positive-sounding generic responses Mickey keeps on shuffle when dealing with random strangers. “You bet your ass. Sounds good, brother. Hey, nice to see ya. Thanks fer comin out. You bet your ass. Hey, sounds good brother…” He’s like a Magic 8 Ball you desperately want to be friends with. And it helps if you’ve brought magic 8 balls, if you know what I mean. GRR, FIREMAN PARTY!

Completely untainted thread, and I got nothing. A promising week begins.
Taint.
Actually Vince, I think this confirms Mickey will in fact, not appear in Iron Man 2, because I have it on good authority that this is his cagey little trick for maintaining his stock of asses.
Perhaps the photographer’s question was “Could you name one movie you will not be featured in?”
anything to keep his face from breaking their $1100 lens
I’ll bet you asses to ankles Mickey Rourke smells like a tannery.
Terrance Howard is also back in, according to the homeless man behind Spago, named Terrance Howard.
I listened to the tape and they were actually saying “Turtle Rape Shoe.”
Look, I’m kinda new here so I know people have got on Mickey already. But I missed my turn so I just want to get this off my chest and move forward. Sigh…Okay…

When asked to elaborate, Robert Downey Jr said “When you see it, you’ll shit bricks”.
