Mickey Rourke has signed to play a Russian villain in Iron Man 2, according to the Hollywood trades. He’d been reported in talks in January (see “Mickey Rourke in Iron Man 2”), but they broke down after Marvel offered only $250,000 to the Oscar-nominated star of The Wrestler. Rourke’s payday will reportedly now be higher than that.
