Scarlett Johansson and Mickey Rourke sign on for Iron Man 2


Rumours have been hitting fever pitch ever since Samuel L Jackson confirmed his role of Nicky Fury for Iron Man 2 at whether Mickey Rourke would accept Marvel's offer to join Jackson and who would be cast as the Black Widow. Thankfully it would seem both questions have been answered at once.
DeadlineHollywoodDaily has confirmed the casting of Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johannson in the sequel, which is set to hit theaters on May 7th, 2010.
It has not been verified yet, but it seems that Rourke will end up playing the Russian comic book villain Crimson Dynamo.
Scarlett Johansson has now officially replaced Emily Blunt as the Russian superspy Natasha Romanoff , the Black Widow. Eliza Dushku had stated her desire to play the role but Marvel have opted for the Spirit actress instead.
