Your First Look!

Mickey Rourke in character on the set of Iron Man 2!

He plays Whiplash in the sequel to the hit film.

The character sports a power pack on his chest that looks similar to the one used by Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.). "The technologies are definitely related, and that's part of the core theme of the film," says director Jon Favreau.

To us, though, he looks like he belongs in Pirates Of The Caribbean 4!

Whiplash's alter ego, Ivan Vanko, is a Russian who, Favreau says, "has constructed his own version of a suit." Among the creative alterations: a pair of whips, powered by the suit's glowing chest piece, expected to keep Iron Man cracking.

Whiplash "is going to light them up," says Rourke.

This first image of the character shows the villain making an appearance at the Monaco Historic Grand Prix.

Iron May 2 comes out in May of next year.

      So he doesn't have a costume??



    11. 11

      Its such a shame that Mickey Rourke can only take ugly character roles now. It must humiliate him.



    12. 12

      HOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    13. 13

      He looks like a complete retard in that ridiculous costume. He's probably a fag anyway.



    14. 14

      mickey rourke is proof positive of how sexist hollywood is.
      no actress looking a fraction of the mess that he looks like now could bag a blockbuster movie role.
      sucks for actresses that have kept it together like sharon stone.
      *sigh*
      anyways, he looks like he was dragged 17 miles by a tractor trailer,
      but we'll always have 9 1/2 weeks though, right?

      good for him and that flat tummy. not sure about that costume. Those look like leg braces on his arms. They didn't try to hard.



    18. 18

      It's good to see good actors working again instead of that no talent douche Brad Pitt. Wonder if Mr. Pitt knocked Jen up? it's been allege ( most likely fake) that he was seeing creeping around Jen's hotel ( could be a tab rumor). Now Jen is sick and fainting, what's up with that.



    21. 21

      ughhh that thing looks like a torture device! i would freak out if i had to wear that lol and im not even claustrophobic!



    22. 22

      Ew. Mickey Rourke is such a fucking DOUCHE. What an overrated piece of chewed up and spit out Hollywood. Gross.



    23. 23

      ewwwwwwww



    24. 24

      This looks GOOD!!! Go Mickey!! Plus this movie seems to be made up of people who have made major recoveries from drugs and alcohol.



    25. 25

      Who is gonna wipe his ass for him if he has to take a crap?! LOL!



    26. 26

      Iron Man 2??? I love the fact that Mr. Rourke is jumping on that train. This is turning out to be a better comeback than all seventeen of Robert Downey's combacks.



    27. 27

      First off-you didn't come up with the pirate comment Perez. In fact you copied this word for word from Yahoo news. Isn't there a law against that? And don't you give credit from those you steal from? Because everyone knows you are not a movie reviewer long enough a critic.
