Hey Mickey
Tue, March 10, 2009 
Mickey Rourke seems to be pretty hot property after is turn as Randy "The Ram" Robinson in "The Wrestler, a role for which he was showered with nominations. This role has opened doors for Rourke that were long since thought shut and locked, similar to the doors that Robert Downey has broken down due to the sucess of "Iron Man" and his portrayal of kabillionaire Tony Stark. It is fitting that rumors have been rushing back and forth across the internet superhighway about a possible rule for Rourke as a villian in "Iron Man 2". Seems like these rumors are about to heat up again due the video being run by IESB where Mickey is asked, "Iron Man 2?" and he replies, "bet your ass."
IESB: Mickey Rourke says You Bet Your Ass to IRON MAN 2
Menawhile "The Sun" is reporting that Sylvester Stallone is possibly interested in Mickey Rourke for a possible role in "Rambo 5". Apparently Rourke said "You Bet Your Ass!" to that role as well. Stallone will be working with Rourke on his new film "The Expendables" which is due to start shooting any day now.

It's funny -- I was just rewatching those BMW films with Clive Owen, and Mickey Rourke was in one of them (they were from 2001) and Rourke was doing then what he does now. The only difference is that he is getting roles now that suit him, whereas he really wasn't at that point.
