Mickey Rourke KO’s Iron Man offer?

Sounds like Mickey Rourke’s told Marvel they can shove their $250,000 where the sun don’t shine.

The Oscar Nominated star of “The Wrestler” was offered the measly sum to play one of the two villains of “Iron Man 2”. But after solidifying a deal to appear in Sylvester Stallone’s all-star action spectacle “The Expendables”, Rourke’s seemingly decided to walk from the Robert Downey Jr movie.

The actor – who lost his believed pooch yesterday, by the way; our condolences big guy! – tells Vulture “Right now, we’re not doing Iron Man 2”.

That sounds pretty definite to me.
