I am not happy about the Howard development either. I like Cheadle, but I see him as the character he plays in the Oceans movies. Not a bad ass military brotherman Iron Man.:mulli:

Sam Rockwell is playing Justin Hammer in the sequel and evidently will not resemble the Justin Hammer of the comics at all. In the comics he is old and British.

"They wanted to go with a rival for Tony Stark who is closer to his age, and make him American," Rockwell told MTV News of the new look for the Marvel villain.

So with Rockwell, Cheadle and that Iron Man guy, they didn't want anyone over 5'7" is this movie.

Boo!

May 4: "More suited destruction today. Rigging a big gag with lots of cameras."

May 4: "ILM on set today. Doing a mix of practical suits and Imocap, their version of on set motion capture developed originally for Pirates 2."

Whiplash in Iron Man wasn't Whiplash for long...became Blacklash.

The character is different for the movie. First clue - he's Russian.

LOL

The character has been around forever (created by Stan Lee and Gene Colan).

The movie version incorporates some of the elements of the Crimson Dynamo (Russian).

Seems odd that they'd make Whiplash Russian...it sort of takes Crimson Dynamo off the table for a future movie.
