Mickey Rourke Won't Be In Iron Man 2

It looks like Mickey Rourke is walking away from "Iron Man 2."  First there was the talk that Marvel was only offering him $250,000 for the movie.  Then there was the video with Robert Downey Jr where he said coyly said that he couldn't confirm or deny that Rourke was playing Crimson Dynamo or Whiplash.  Maybe he knew at that point that it wasn't going to happen.

When talking to New York Magazine, he was asked about the movie.  Rourke replied, "Right now, we're not doing Iron Man 2."

So will Marvel Studios get someone else?  Do we really need another villain in the movie?  Maybe it's better this way?
