Robert Downey Jr. and Jon Favreau
What a difference a couple of years have made for Iron Man.
"Nobody cared about Iron Man until we came here," director Jon Favreau told a packed house at the San Diego Comic-Con Saturday, reacting to a rowdy welcome much different than the one the first Iron Man film received two years ago. Favreau rewarded the more than 6,000 fans by showing five minutes of footage from next summer's sure-to-be-blockbuster smash.

The Wrestler (Blu-ray)
All the praise that's been heaped on this moving tale of a broken-down pro wrestler struggling to remain relevant despite his failing body is deserved. (The Academy really snubbed this one in the Best Picture race.) The standout, of course, is Mickey Rourke, whose portrayal of Randy "The Ram" will have even the big boys searching for their hankies by the time this one's down for the count.
Rourke's masterful performance is beautifully matched by turns from Evan Rachel Wood as Randy's bitter estranged daughter and Marisa Tomei, whose aging stripper is — like Randy — struggling to stay in her own game. All of these characters are so vivid and real, and in the hands of Darren Aronofsky, they continually remind us that life must still be lived once the spotlight fades and the crowd stops cheering.
The bonus features on the release are scarce, but they pack a serious punch. In addition to ...

The Wrestler's Mickey Rourke assured reporters that he wouldn't be getting in the ring to wrestle rival Chris Jericho during Wrestlemania 25. But he didn't say anything about boxing.
During Sunday night's main event, Rourke, a former boxer, entered the ring with Jericho and knocked Jericho to the mat with one punch. Looks like he's all warmed up to play the heavy in Iron Man 2.

Comeback kid Mickey Rourke has wrestled his way into two new projects.
The Golden Globe winner has signed on to play the Russian villain Whiplash in Iron Man 2, according to Variety. Rourke has been in consideration for the role for several months, but the deal took some fine-tuning after Marvel initially offered The Wrestler star only $250,000.
Rourke, who was recruited by Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. during the awards-show circuit, met with director Jon Favreau and writer Justin Theroux to develop his character. Whiplash will include elements of the comic-book character of the same name, as well as Crimson Dynamo, another Russian evildoer.
Rourke will also ...

The Golden Globe-winning actor for The Wrestler has put his renewed star power behind an ad campaign for PETA.

The Wrestler star Mickey Rourke made quite an entrance with his sweet, black velvet jacket, sequined scarf and porn 'stache during Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards. But his exit was much more buzz-worthy considering he left with a Globe in hand for the Best Actor.
Rourke explains how despite the win, he doesn't know if he'll ever feel like he's back on top since he was "out of the game for so long." And believe it or not, he was just thrilled that Bruce Springsteen won for his song for "The Wrestler" from the film of the same name.
