On her blog, the Hollywood business writer reportes that &#8220;after at first being low-balled by the studio to the tune of $250K, Rourke has signed on for the role of the Russian villain in the sequel after his agent David Unger got the quote up to a &#8220;significant&#8221; level.&#8221; Finke also reports that Marvel won&#8217;t officially announce anything until all the contracts are signed, so consider this all at the level of &#8220;reasonably reliable rumor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Finke also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com\/another-iron-man-2-exclusive-scarlett-johannson-will-replace-emily-blunt-in-iron-man-2\/\">reports<\/a> that Scarlett Johannson is being set to take role of Russian spy\/costumed hero the Black Widow. As is her usual MO, Finke spends most of her post obsessing over whether Johannson&#8217;s agent got her a good deal or not. However, she does mention that that deal will include Johannson&#8217;s participation in <strong>The Avengers<\/strong> superhero team-up film set for Summer 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Is he in or is he out?
