Iron Man 2: Downey Wants Rourke

I would really love to see Mickey in Iron Man 2 and I hope that Robert Downey Jr could possibly persuade him to do it.

The Iron Man reveals his desire to have The Wrestler as part of the sequel cast.

Whilst chatting with the E! channel’s Ryan Seacrest, during last night’s OSCAR red carpet coverage, Robert Downey Jnr revealed his thoughts on the casting for the sequel to Iron Man.

When probed by the American Idol host about the possibility of fellow OSCAR nominee Mickey Rourke appearing in the follow~up to last year’s box office comic book hit, the Tropic Thunder actor said, “We want him.”

Downey Jnr went on to add that they (the production team) had hoped to have Rourke on board before the star~studded ceremony in Los Angeles yesterday but varying schedules interfered.
