Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell may be villains in Iron Man 2 directed by Jon Favreau. The film has already locked in Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle.

Marvel has been keeping a very tight lid on the script for the sequel, being written by Justin Theroux, but it is known that Rourke would play a tattooed Russian heavy named Ivan who becomes Whiplash, a man with deadly, technologically enhanced coils.

Rockwell would play Justin Hammer, a multibillionaire businessman and a rival of industrialist Anthony Stark, AKA Iron Man, being played by a returning Robert Downey Jr. 

Great actors, I hope they both take the roles. It’s sure to be one of the hottest movies of 2010.
