Sam Rockwell talks IRON MAN 2

By Brian Kronner on 09.29.2009

"It was great… it was a good time, a lot of fun. It’s like the all-stars; like the globe-trotters or something. You know, Don Cheadle, Mickey Rourke, Gwyneth, Scarlett, and Robert Downey Jr. And Sam Jackson’s there too. It does feel like you’re passing the ball with Michael Jordan and then onto Larry Bird."

That is Rockwell talking about how IRON MAN 2 was to make in an interview with IGN.

In reference to his character:

"He’s a rival of Tony’s - they are competitors in the weapons industry. I team up with Michey Rourke and we decide we want to take him down and take down the Stark legacy. He’s sort of like a cousin of the Charlie’s Angels character I played. The smarmy cousin. But it’s Mickey - he does the fighting and the kicking ass in the film."

I really like Sam Rockwell, ever since THE GREEN MILE. I think he adds a lot of character to each part he takes and is an ultra talented actor. I’m pretty impressed with the casting here.

Wise man say: forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza.

You're a claustrophobic. You want a fist in the mouth? I've never even looked at another guy.
