Tony Stark was the arrogant son of wealthy, weapon manufacturer Howard Stark. Tony cared only about himself, but he would have a change of heart after he was kidnapped by terrorists and gravely injured. Pressured to create a weapon of mass destruction, Stark instead created a suit of armor powerful enough for him to escape. Tony used his vast resources and intellect to make the world a better place as The Invincible Iron Man. Stark's super hero identity led him to become a founding member of the Avengers.
Mickey Rourke is dedicated to ensuring that he nails his role in "Iron Man 2." IESB has posted an image of the actor in a Russian prison. Seems he was in Russia for the premiere of "The Wrestler." To prepare for his role as the Russian criminal Whiplash, he spent three hours inside a jail. That's dedication. From the picture, I suppose it doesn't look too bad.
I do wonder whose idea this was. Was it his, his agents, Jon Favreau's?
Maybe I missed it but I haven't seen official confirmation that it is Whiplash. We know Robert Downey Jr said it wasn't Crimson Dynamo. Not sure who else it could be.
