It's doubtful for one to encounter two reports items about an actor on the same day-except for the gossip columns, of course-but this is an exception. Rourke will play an arms dealer who a bunch of mercenaries, who are tasked to topple a South Yankee dictator, turn to. Also, Rourke is in the middle of consultations to play a villainous role in the upcoming film Iron Man two. Some even ruminate that it is going to be the personality Crimson Dynamo, whose outline matches the one above. If those talks are successful, it might mark Rourke's first studio film since staging his comeback with The Fighter . Since the film was released, he took a role in the imminent French thriller remake thirteen, and earned Golden Globe and SAG designations for his role in the previous.
