Looks like Chris seemed a little insecure about Mickey's brief taunt and decided to try and back his manhood up. Lame...

The wrestler is a great film but he's not going to get paid based on that films Box Office. I’m was just saying that doing the film will be better for him than not doing it.

If he is a main villain and has a huge important part, I think 250k is just too little. Studios spend millions of dollars on things like catering, perks for stars, and all sorta silly things. I don't think giving the main villain a respectable pay check is asking too much. It’s difficult to defend him since I don’t know the script or how much of a role he has.

They budgeted $250k for the part and offered it to Rourke. Rourke can take it or leave it. It's going to do well with or without him. Period. Just because he's getting awards (well deserved) doesn't mean he'll help the movie box office wise. No one saw The Wrestler. Hey Wolf,

But I'm not Mickey Rourke, who just came on off the success with The Wrestler, who wants to enter the Iron Man franchise that made $581,931,630, becoming the 5Th highest grossing movie of 2008, but I have no real problem with this deal right now because I have no idea how big the role is, but I do have a problem with Marvel risking so much with the film by to cutting costs. This is why Howard was replaced and don't forget the possibility of Sam Jackson being replaced also. Even the director himself, John Favreau was being considered to be replaced because Marvel felt they could get another director for much less. Marvel are doing this due to the economy right now, but I call bullshit with that excuse for Iron Man. We all know Iron Man 2, if done right, will make a HUGE profit, just like the first installment. You got to spend money to make money and it looks as if Marvel is not willing to spend the money. Like I said, I have no problem with Rouke's pay, just with Marvel doing too much cut backs.
