DeadlineHollywoodDaily has confirmed the casting of Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johannson in the upcoming “Iron Man” sequel, which is set to hit theaters on May 7th, 2010.
It has not been verified yet, but it seems that Rourke will end up playing the Russian villain Crimson Dynamo. Regarding Johannson, she has now officially replaced Emily Blunt as the Russian super spy Natasha Romanoff (aka Black Widow).
This truly blows up the star power for this incredibly-anticipated sequel. Personally, I’ve been waiting for it the minute I finished watching Iron Man last year at the theater. I’m not sure how much weight Mickey Rourke carries with the audience for a movie like Iron Man 2, but I would watch Scarlett Johannson watching paint dry (preferably with a minimal amount of clothing). Don’t forget that little teaser that was snuck in the back of the credits with badass Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. Needless to say, this is one to watch opening day.
