Mickey Rourke likely NOT In Iron Man 2 (reason: $$$)

[Sussudio]

Mickey Rourke has told New York Magazine that it's looking like he won't be playing the villain in Iron Man 2:

But so what if ICM's David Unger doesn't look good in a dress — at least he's battling Marvel for a bigger paycheck for Rourke for his rumored role as a villain in Iron Man 2, right? "Right now, we're not doing Iron Man 2," Rourke told us grimly.

I love Rourke, don't get me wrong, but what is it about stars demanding bigger paychecks for this movie. The last one was a big moneymaker, I get that. What happened to taking a hit to do it for the fans (slight sarcasm )? No doubt his agent is trying to get some more $$$ on account of Rourke's Wrestler fame. I won't pass judgment since I don't have any idea what's going on behind the scenes; I'm just disappointed that the great lineup planned for Iron Man 2 is starting to fall apart namely because of financial reasons. That's Hollywood for you
