Gold Dubloons
Deliver a great performance in a critically hailed film, get the Oscar talk buzzing, push up your Standard & Poor's rating and wait for a big paycheck opportunity. Winning the Best Actor Oscar is a very nice reward -- pop the champagne, hug your mom, etc. -- but the career revival and a big paycheck job is the real booty-boo. That's what Mickey Rourke's reported role in Iron Man 2 is. Speculation is that he'll play a tattooed villain called the Crimson Dynamo.

Who'd have thunk it a decade - hell, five years - ago that Robert Downey Jr. and Mickey Rourke might go mano a mano in anything but the race to the bottom?

I thought Sin City was Mickey Rourke's comeback. Or was it Domino....

Thomas Haden Church did the same thing after his Oscar nomination.

If I were as broke as Mickey, I'd do crap like Iron Man 2 too.

So this makes two arms dealers Mickey will be playing next year. I'm also thrilled by the idea of him doing a Russian accent. I want the full Brando, by which I mean as cheesy as possible.

I like the idea of Sam Rockwell as the other villain even more.

Mickey Rourke should hold out to play an aged, Dark-Knight era Bruce Wayne.
