Cheadle is also signed on to perform the same role in "The Avengers" and subsequent installments of the "Iron Man" franchise.

"We are very excited about working with the extraordinarily talented Don Cheadle as we expand the role of Rhodey in 'Iron Man 2.' It has already become apparent as we prep the movie for production, that the dynamic between Robert and Don will take 'Iron Man 2' to new heights," said Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios.

The highly anticipated sequel to "Iron Man" will be released in theatres on May 7, 2010 and "The Avengers" will be released July 15, 2011. Both films will be distributed by Paramount Pictures.

I don't know what everyone is griping about. I think Cheadle's a great actor. Plus it barely counts as a supporting role so it's not like the whole movie is focus on his character for the viewers to really take notice in the small change. I'm sure he'll handle the role just fine. I'm more excited about seeing Iron Man again.

Tim Robbins Cast?

Tim Robbins will play Tony Stark's father Howard in the Iron Man sequel, according to Latino Review.

The Shawshank Redemption star will reportedly appear in flashback sequences that tie in with forthcoming Marvel films The Avengers and Captain America.

In the comic books, Howard Stark is the founder of Stark Industries. After his death, his son Tony inherits the company before taking on the guise of Iron Man.

Director Jon Favreau and leading man Robert Downey Jr. will return for the sequel.

Mickey Rourke is "Crimson Dynamo"

Marvel has just announced today that Mickey Rourke is in talks to join Jon Favreau's Iron Man 2! 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. While it hasn't been confirmed, considering Marvel and Paramount are keeping the script (which is still being written) under lock and key, speculation is that the villain is Crimson Dynamo. No other details were revealed about the highly anticipated sequel at this time. How about that for a casting announcement?!

This is the second major casting news for Rourke today, following confirmation that he also joined Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables. This is easily the greatest acting comeback we've seen in years. As for the villain, the original Crimson Dynamo first appeared in Tales of Suspense #46 in 1963. There have been 12 various Crimson Dynamo incantations over the years, so it's likely this one is being written specifically for the cinematic Iron Man universe. While we were already very excited about Iron Man 2, this news makes it even more highly anticipated, if possible. Paramount will debut Iron Man 2 on May 7th, 2010.

HOLY CRAP!

Rockwell will play a British villain named Justin Hammer, a multibillionaire businessman and a rival of industrialist of Tony Stark.

Also expect Whiplash to be cast soon as well, infact Variety are reporting that Rourke will play Whiplash and not Crimson...crazy casting day!

Marvel Studios is really starting to get on my nerves, check this out.

I saw ['Iron Man' and 'Iron Man 2' director] Jon Favreau at the Scream Awards and we had a conversation. He said, ?I hope things are working out for you because we?re writing stuff for you.? Then all of a sudden last week I talked to my agents and manager and things aren?t really working that well.

There was a huge kind of negotiation that broke down. I don?t know. Maybe I won?t be Nick Fury. Maybe somebody else will be Nick Fury or maybe Nick Fury won?t be in it. There seems to be an economic crisis in the Marvel Comics world so [they're saying to me], ?We?re not making that deal.?

If they are too cheap to cast Jackson as Nick Fury I'm going to be really ****ed off. Replacing War Machine is one thing, Nick Fury, wtf! Not only does he look picture perfect for the role, much like Downey, but if history has taught us anything, Downey couldn't be better suited and same goes for Samuel. Besides look at how much money the last one made.

Recasting Samuel L. Jackson, I think, would be a huge mistake. I've been looking forward to Iron Man 2 since I heard about it, but right now, I'm not feeling very confident in this movie. Marvel has been making a lot of questionable decisions lately.

FYI - Jackson gave his consent for Nick Fury to be re-designed in his likeness.....the original Nick Fury was Caucasian, the Iron Man movie version of Nick Fury portrays the Nick Fury re-design from The Ultimates #1 (March 2002). If they stuck to the original Nick Fury, Jackson would have no business portraying Nick Fury.

    • The better these AI models get, the more this is going to happen. It's gonna turn into government versus government in regards to using proprietary and unavailable security research models to basically find flaws and vulnerabilities in other governments or companies systems. It's basically turning into a cybersecurity arms race. This is actually a good thing. The better AI gets, the more restricted and expensive it's going to become, making it far less mainstream. This is good 👍
    • Crazy. The government fired everyone who was capable of actually understanding this. More security theater. Just checked it is gone from Claude.
