Re: Iron Man sequel news

How does a studio get an actor to do a cameo in a film without having his deal complete?

this is what nick fury looks like in the Ultimates.

he was drawn to look like Sam Jackson because the writer (Mark Millar) loves to fantasy-cast.
Thanks for that. That's pretty obviously Samuel L Jackson.

Then there is comeback kid Mickey Rourke, who is poised to follow his Golden Globe-winning performance in "The Wrestler" with an offer to play the main villain in "Iron Man 2" — but at a lowball opening offer of $250,000 from Marvel; Marvel’s tactics have already prompted Samuel L. Jackson to swear off playing Nick Fury because of a similarly low offer.

I just found that article Oscar and was about to post it myself.

Seriously, if I ever have the opportunity to defecate on a Marvel executive I'll gladly take it.

Sundance Interview: Sam Rockwell for "Moon" & "The Winning Season"
Quote:

Question: Who would you be in Iron Man?

Rockwell: Iron Man, I will be a character named Hammer, who was a rival to Tony Stark. Favreau’s an amazing director, yeah.

Question: How would you define the character?

Rockwell: You know, the thing about it is, I’ve accepted the part without – there’s no script, so I’m taking it on good faith, because the scriptwriter’s a friend of mine, Justin Theroux. So I’m taking it on good faith. And it’s been explained to me, the concept of the part. I’m just kind of jumping in. But it’s an opportunity to work with Favreau and Theroux and Don Cheadle and Robert Downey Jr. You can’t complain about that, you know what I mean? And Mickey Rourke. So, I mean, it can’t be a waste of time. Something will come out of it.

Splash Page EXCLUSIVE: Robert Downey Jr. Says Mickey Rourke Not Playing Crimson Dynamo In ‘Iron Man 2’

Quote:
“That’s actually incorrect,” Downey told MTV News when asked if Rourke was being considered for the aforementioned Iron Man rogue. When pressed if, instead of Crimson Dynamo, Rourke was up for the role of Whiplash, another potential role bandied about on blogs these days, Downey had a more cryptic response.
“I can neither confirm nor deny that,” said Downey. “Or maybe it’s some semblance of both. Here, I can tell you everything about the story except I won’t give away the ending. The nerd stuff is top-drawer security.”

:: The Playlist ::: Emily Blunt Officially Out Of 'Iron Man 2'?

Quote:
On E!'s post show at the red carpet of some party, Jon Favreau said that Fox exercised its ["Gulliver's Travellers"] option on Emily Blunt, and that she definitely won't be in 'Iron Man 2.' The reporter was chatting with Favreau and asking about what he can tell them about 'IM2.' He said Mickey Rourke isn't officially cast but that he is a fan. Then she asked about Emily and Favreau said that about Fox exercising their option, which I hadn't heard before. I thought they were still trying to make it work. He said he was disappointed but didn't say anything about Scarlett Johansson replacing her or anyone else taking the role."

Jackson irons out Marvel pact - Entertainment News, Film News, Media - Variety

Jackson irons out Marvel pact
Actor signs long-term deal to play Nick Fury
By MICHAEL FLEMING

Samuel L. Jackson has buried the hatchet with Marvel Entertainment, making a deal to play the role of Nick Fury in “Iron Man 2,” and potentially many other films.
Jackson’s deal is a long-term commitment to play Fury, the leader of the espionage unit the Shield. His deal contains an option to play the character in nine future Marvel superhero films, efforts that are expected to include “Captain America,” “Thor,” “The Avengers” and “The Shield” as well as potential sequels.

Jackson introduced Fury in the closing moments of “Iron Man,” when the character asked Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark to join his group. Fury is a natural to show up in multiple Marvel franchises, as he crosses paths with many Marvel superheroes in the comicbooks.

Jackson’s Marvel future looked murky, after he reportedly expressed his displeasure with the producer-financier’s initial offer to reprise his role. Jackson was hardly alone: Even though “Iron Man” grossed more than $600 million worldwide, Marvel brass has been sparing in offers to talent like Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell to play villains in the sequel, sources said.

Jackson and his ICM reps have evidently cleared those dealmaking hurdles, and he will take part in the sequel that director Jon Favreau shoots in the spring, with Paramount Pictures distributing in summer 2010.

Re: Iron Man sequel news

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Jackson inked a nine-picture deal with Marvel.

Jackson's Fury in flurry of Marvel films

Samuel L. Jackson is Marvel's man.

The actor, who just weeks ago was seemingly on the outs with the studio over reprising his role as Nick Fury, agent of spy outfit S.H.I.E.L.D., has signed an unprecedented nine-picture deal to play the character in a series of Marvel movies.

The movies include "Iron Man 2," "Thor," "Captain America," "The Avengers" and its sequels.

Also on the table is the possibility of toplining a "S.H.I.E.L.D." movie, which is in development.

"Iron Man II" casting news...

Mickey Rourke set for 'Iron Man 2' - Entertainment News, Film News, Media - Variety

Mickey Rourke set for 'Iron Man 2'
Actor able to negotiate salary increase
By MICHAEL FLEMING, MARC GRASER

Mickey Rourke has closed his deal to play the Russian villain in "Iron Man 2."
His involvement was expected (Daily Variety, Jan. 7), but dealmaking was arduous after Marvel Entertainment offered "The Wrestler" star only $250,000 for his first major studio film in years.More than one option(Co) Daily Variety
Filmography, Year, Role
(Co) Daily Variety

Rourke's salary will be now better than that.

While his ICM rep, David Unger, battled for more dough, Rourke's encounters with "Iron Man" star Robert Downey Jr. on the awards circuit sealed his participation in the film.los

Rourke won the Golden Globe and was Oscar nominated for "The Wrestler" and Downey got Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for "Tropic Thunder," so Downey used each occasion to recruit Rourke.

When Downey, Rourke as well as actors including Frank Langella and Anne Hathaway took part in a roundtable discussion with Newsweek's David Ansen, Downey interrupted the proceedings, reached across the table and flat out asked Rourke to do "Iron Man 2."

Rourke also met with Jon Favreau and scribe Justin Theroux and got to be part of the development of his character. He'll play Whiplash, a character that includes elements from that comicbook villain and Crimson Dynamo, another Russian baddie.

Marvel wouldn't confirm Rourke's involvement, but he's planning to join Downey, Sam Rockwell and Samuel L. Jackson, with Scarlett Johansson the frontrunner to play the Black Widow.

Nikki Finke’s Deadline Hollywood Daily ANOTHER ‘IRON MAN 2′ DEAL: Scarlett Johannson To Replace Emily Blunt As Black Widow For Lousy Lowball Money

I've already posted my scoop that Mickey Rourke will play the Russian villain in Iron Man 2 in a Marvel Studios deal that started out lowball and went up a lot. Now I'm told that Emily Blunt won't be in the sequel and Black Widow will now be played by Scarlett Johannson. (Interesting because Scarlett actually screen-tested for the role and didn't get it.) But I hear that, unlike Mickey's money, the deal for her is "just the opposite, a terrible deal made by CAA," one of my insiders says. "It's as bad as any deal that I've heard. It's lowball money. And it ties her to countless movies, including that ensemble The Avengers, which is what makes this brutal for a lot of actors." As for Blunt, I'm told she fell out not by choice but only because Fox exercised an option that the studio had from The Devil Wears Prada to make her do the upcoming film starring Jack Black, Gullivers Travels.

yikes - i can't see her in that role at all...she certainly has the acting chops, but she has none of the requisite physical traits, if you ask me. this strikes me as not dissimilar to casting affleck as daredevil.
