Mickey Rouke as Crimson Dynamo?

The report came from Variety. The original Dynamo was Russian, it couldn’t be anyone else.

Rourke is in discussions to play a villain described as Tony Stark’s Russian alter ego, a heavily tattooed bruiser who is in the arms trade and battles Iron Man in his own nuclear-powered armored suit. Actor Sam Rockwell is in negotiations to play another villian in the pic.

Sounds like there changing some aspects for Rouke’s stature as the character was a scientist as opposed a brute.

As Rob and I don’t think The Mandarian will appear of Favreau saving it for a third. The other villain I can think of is Justin Hammer, a business rival of the Stark family.
