Mickey Rourke as Crimson Dynamo? ****ing sweet

Seriously, wow.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Yeah I know that... I don't think they will get into that whole back story... I hope he is used like a SHIELD agent who is more involved in the action. Plus I think the Hawkeye costume would look a little ridiculous on the big screen... I am all for being a purist but lets be real here. Unless they explain his circus days it wouldn't make a lot of sense... I am thinking purple padding tops... do away with the full blown mask.

I edited more detail but you quoted me pretty fast so here it is again

I kinda already see it play out. Black Widow, a Soviet agent, puppeteers Hawkeye to steal Iron Man suit designs for the Soviets who in turn create Crimson Dynamo. Hawkeye, out of guilt, helps Iron Man in the end. Black Widow is arrested by SHIELD and later used in Avengers as the member no one really trusts plus a love/hate relationship with Stark.

I too think Hawkeyes suit is a little ridiculous. Hes definitely got the Wolvie mask silliness, but his original Ultimate costume could definitely work, except it looked a little to much like movie X-Men costume.

What I'm thinking is that Widow will be the S.H.I.E.L.D. liaison to Stark. Hawkeye I can see being as more of a bodyguard/aid to Nick Fury, similar to the role of Sharon Carter in Captain America.

Think: The Ultimates 1 & 2 (that is, without Widow's ending).

Yeah that's what I am thinking... off the character early... let him come back at the end. I don't want to see him look like some Robin hero on the side... just be brief with it. No full blown costume until the Avengers movie earliest.

I think Natasha needs to be the one to steal the IronMan specs and possibly sells them to Hammer who in turn uses Roarke to man the Dynamo suit. Natasha later redeems herself by helping Tony and Shield defeat Dynamo and Hammer some how and is then offered a place in Shield?

 

[Octoberist]

ah man, i hope that the script is good. Not that I don't trust Justin Theox, but I've always saw him as an actor first then a writer. I hope the addition to all of these new characters, if true, won't be convoluted and lame.

 

[marcvader]

but hopefully they continue to build on the 10 rings and Mandarin for a third flick.

 

[batman44]

Mickey Rourke?......NICE

 

[Rocker22]

There are conflicting reports about this, he is either going to be Dynamo or Whiplash. Either sound good.

Favs seems to be handling all aspects of production in a management position. No one seems to make a move without him. Im not too worried.

I am thinking BW will be working for Tony as an antagonist and a spy for Hammer... and to conceal her identity... she will use Hawkeye to do her dirty work. They may introduce Hawkeye as a body guard/henchmen for BW to begin with (although that wouldn't make a lot of sense since I am sure Stark/SHIELD could employ people for her)... but something along those lines. Of course I am usually wrong... I think cerealkiller is right for the most part.

 

[marcvader]

He better not be Whiplash, that would be a waste. Whiplash seems to be a two bit henchman to me.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Awesome news. I agee with cerealkiller on Rockwell as Hawkeye, though.

My specualtion is kinda cliche too, but I am hoping the fact that all of these characters have really strong personalities that that makes up for the cliche-ness (grammer?)

 

[Chewy]

Whiplash is no more of a henchman than Crimson Dynamo

Perhaps we're looking at a character who is an amalgamation of both, and that's why the trades' stories aren't matching up? Who knows.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Edit

 

[cerealkiller182]

Wait, I just checked wikipedia, and it said Whiplash was a girl.

 

[Chewy]

^ Look at Blacklash's article

Haha, yeah. It's Backlash

 

[cerealkiller182]

Either way, Russian thug with tentacles. A little too Omeda Red, dontcha think?

 

[Chewy]

Whiplash is similar to Omega Red, who we haven't seen on screen.
Crimson Dynamo is similar to Iron Monger, who we have seen on screen.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I'm still waiting to see OR on screen. Easily in my top 5 fav villains

 

[marcvader]

I do agree that Dynamo is redundant in an Iron Man movie but he fits in more with what a person wanting to beat a man in an Iron suit would do although it didn't work in the first flick either.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Good news! glad to see things are progressing nicely!

 

[Leto]

Haha, yeah. It's Backlash

Blacklash.
