"I'm having the time of my life!" Mickey Rourke told Empire magazine about his latest job playing an Iron Man supervillain. "It's been really brutal, because my Iron Man suit weighs 23lb. It's sort of a half-suit, with half my skin showing, with lots of Russian tattoos, because [Whiplash is just] out of a Russian-zone prison."

Also talking to the magazine was director Jon Favreau about the character arc that Robert Downey Jr. is facing in the sequel. "[Tony Stark is] expected to be a role model and I don't think he's ready to be one. He's under a great deal of pressure and when you're under pressure, I think you find outlets for that," Favreau said. "That's one of the tensions of the film: it's one thing to say you're Iron Man, and another thing to actually become Iron Man."

And Favs also confirms that we're getting to see James Rhodes in his War Machine armor. "Rhodesy is definitely stepping up in this film. Let me put it this way: Tony's not the only person with technology in the film."
