That seems to have been the question as to Mickey Rourke’s participation in next summer’s Iron Man 2<\/strong>. Well, now it seems that he is back in, according to Nikki Finke<\/a>. On her blog, the Hollywood business writer reportes that “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 “significant” level.” Finke also reports that Marvel won’t officially announce anything until all the contracts are signed, so consider this all at the level of “reasonably reliable rumor.”<\/p>\n

Finke also 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’s agent got her a good deal or not. However, she does mention that that deal will include Johannson’s participation in The Avengers<\/strong> superhero team-up film set for Summer 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
