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.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
