The promotion for Iron Man 2 is moving full steam ahead with the film scheduled to hit theatres on 7 May 2010. The studio have recently released a new promotional poster depicting Mickey Rourke as the villain Whiplash. Word on the street is that the version of Whiplash we'll see in the film Iron Man 2 includes elements of both Whiplash and Crimson Dynamo from the Marvel Comics.
As you can see in the poster, Whiplash is going to be Ram-esque (check out The Wrestler).
In this other shot from the film it looks like Whiplash's costume may have borrowed a little from the original Iron Man armor.
Iron Man 2 stars Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Don Cheadle and Samuel L. Jackson. Don Cheadle is replacing Terence Howard in the role of Lt. Colonel James Rhodes/War Machine.
Welcome to the Comicologist, where we aim to introduce the world to the wisdom and guidance that can be found in Comicology - the study of comics. Have fun!
