May 29 2009Iron Man 2's Whiplash Probably Looks Like This
Mickey Rourke, who will be playing the metal-suited villain Whiplash in Iron Man 2, recently talked to Empire about what his still-unseen costume entails:
It's been really brutal, because my Iron Man suit weighs 23lb. It's sort of a half-suit, with half my skin showing, with lots of Russian tattoos, because [Whiplash is just] out of a Russian-zone prison.
OK, I think I see what you're getting at, Mickey. Something like this:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is what it will look like. Let's just call this the first photo of Whiplash, because I nailed it with this mock-up. You're seeing the future.
Thanks to the Expendables poster and Tobor the Great for the help.

I'm sure we'll see a comment here about how the metal bits are much like Michael Bay's Transformers in that they're jumbled masses of crap that are hard to make out.

This still makes zero sense. So they're taking a character with a presumably Italian last name (Scarlotti) that was born in Ohio and making him Russian?
Has there actually been ANY confirmation that Rourke is playing Whiplash and not the Crimson Dynamo? You know, a character who actually IS Russian and has every reason to have a metal suit rather than guido-Scarlotti who's best known for wearing some gay purple tights with a 70's-style collar?
Or are they just copping out and merging the two characters? Answers! Rabble rabble rabble!
