First Look: Mickey Rourke as Whiplash in "Iron Man 2"

Posted: June 9th, 2009 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
First Look: Mickey Rourke as Whiplash in Iron Man 2Submit Comment
Paramount Pictures has just unveiled a first look at Mickey Rourke as the villainous Whiplash from the upcoming "Iron Man" sequel. The photo, which you can check out below, features a shot of Rourke wearing an outfit with a power pack on his chest that looks similar to that of Iron Man's.

"The technologies are definitely related," director Jon Favreau told USA Today. "That's part of the core theme of the film."

The villain's alter ego, Ivan Vanko, is a Russian who "has constructed his own version of a suit," Favreau said. Among the creative innovations: a pair of whips, powered by the suit's glowing chest piece, that are expected to keep Iron Man cracking.

He's too exposed. He could get killed wild, crazy easily in that thing.

the outfit is cool.i notice he's wearing orange pants so i guess he just got out of prison so we'll most likely see an even better outfit later in the movie.

Whips? That just seems like a ridiculous weapon to use against a dude in an invincible metal suit with guns and shit. I don't know. Maybe I'm just putting to much thought into a comic book movie but it looks kinda cheesy
Ranger writes:
on June 10th, 2009 at 12:05:27 AM

Yeah... I've always thought this of Whiplash... LAME. Sorry guys. Iron Man... 50 yards away (AND flying) - ONE repulsor blast to Whiplash... fade to black, roll the credits. Lame.

Dig it. I think it's silly to question the movie's logic by one picture of one character. I'm sure the professionals working on the film would be totally lost without the input of a few WorstPreviews users. No offense to anyone.

Two things; one, is it just me or does it look like there is some kind of blade on the whips he has, and two, are they on a race track?

this obviously isnt the finished suit- for the tards who think he'll be this exposed in battle with IronMan- this is OBVIOUSLY a shot of Ivan before he changes into a true villain. He's testing his version of the technology. There will be more armour ya fools.
SACdaddy writes:
on June 10th, 2009 at 9:38:06 AM

Hate to say this, but I hope this movie isn't as dumb as it looks. Still, Mickey, Downey, and Don sounds like a good enough cast to make this shit float. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Do you guys remember when Stark was testing his boots and repulsor rays in his garage? How he was in regular clothes? Now think the same thing thing with this photo. He probably just escaped from prison or a prison yransport with this bare bones prototype. I am guessing the remaining armor will be built around it before he takes on Iron Man. Think before you bash people, this movie is going to be straight big fake ( • )( • ) s!

He looks like a villain from the live action "Masters of the Universe" movie from '87
Ranger writes:
on June 10th, 2009 at 1:32:04 PM

acslaterson - I'm not judging Rourke. I just think these exposed characters (Whiplash and Gladiator) are a joke against Iron Man's armor and repulsor blasts (from a distance). CLEARLY Whiplash will have to draw Stark in within his range (somehow) to make any fight sequence work. I'm pretty sure this movie will be kick-ass. I have just always thought some of these characters are just plain, ol' lame.

I think they're holding off on that one my friend. But it would be a nice surprise. I'm amazed how they're keeping Iron Man's on everybody's mind with these little tidbits. He's not in the tneaters 'til 2010. It's not like we're going to forget who he is when he comes out then.

Alright... Whiplash isn't the greatest character... but... this is clearly from the beginning of the movie... Justin Hammer will give him a way better suit... And, for the record... His whips can deflect bullets and a bunch of other crazy stuff... He will give Iron Man a run for his money (the billions of dollars he has)... And, if you need proof that Whiplash will be difficult... WarMachine isn't going to be in the movie for no F***ing reason...

I'm a die-hard Iron Man fan, so please excuse me for saying this, but I'm having a nerdgasm just from seeing this pic. Mickey Rourke is one totally badass mofo. Long dyed hair, heavily tattooed, and is that a toothpick in his mouth?! I have always thought that Whiplash was one of the lamest supervillains in the MARVEL universe, but Favreau & co. seem to be doing him justice. For kudos points, i agree with BobMcBob. He does look like he came from THE ROAD WARRIOR.

According to Marvel.com, Whiplash could "could turn up the electric charge to its maximum which caused anything it hit, including Iron Man’s armor, to become brittle. He also used anti-gravity bolas, heavy gravity bolas, and various other devices also of his own design. When Mark returned to his original alias of Whiplash, he also upgraded his armaments with a kinetic whip, a cat-o-nine-tails, and a whip made of super conductive filament in order to channel lightning as an offensive weapon." doesnt sound to lame

Mickey Rourke is a great actor! but i expected mor from the costume.
DIEHARDRAMA writes:
on June 10th, 2009 at 5:56:57 PM

Maybe its just a beginning of what mickey's character is designing and he's gonna look cooler later in the movie. And Ranger, be logical dude :). Maybe his whips can "whip out" far enough to snag Iron Man. Supposedly the whips drain out Iron Man each time they make contact.
KirkLazerus writes:
on June 10th, 2009 at 6:45:30 PM

its probably a prototype like Starks first suit, they are not gonna show him all suited up so early, there is still a year left until the movie comes out
Ranger writes:
on June 10th, 2009 at 11:42:54 PM

So yeah... I get it. We ALL get it. Whiplash is deadly at close range. Here we go... Iron Man... 200 yards away... repulsor blasts Whiplash into pudding. Fade to black. Roll credits. Nuff said.

mark my words. the surprise of the movie is gonna b how he looks in armor that Hammer gives him.then everyone bitchin how he looks now r gonna say how awsome his Crimson Dynam outfit is, not to mention a great performance.

Let not for get Avenger fans that if they decide to use big time villains like Ultron, then Ant Man will be intergral in the Avengers story line. And as previously stated. The Wasp was/is just SO hot.

johnny_boy - I didn't know Whiplash became the Crimson Dynamo. OK... this makes more sense then. Because like the Whiplash or not... as IM can fly, he'd kick WL's ass so bad, it would look like a reboot (literally) of the Rodney King beating.
