Mickey Rourke Is Not Letting Up, Says Immortals Isn't "Some Marvel Piece Of Crap"

We have already heard quite a bit from Rourke on his dissatisfaction with Marvel after playing Whiplash in Iron Man 2. And he doesn't look like stopping, in fact he's stepped it up in an interview with io9...

Ok, I have been a supporter or Rourke's refreshing outspokenness on this but even I have to admit that whether he has legitimate beef or not he needs to just let it go now. There is a big difference between bravely expressing yourself and bitching. As he continues to promote Immortals the actor's latest interview, this time with io9, features his harshest criticism of Marvel yet..



io9: So a lot of it is finding the right director who you feel comfortable with?

Rourke: I try to find the right director who won't compromise his or anyone else's integrity, and yet be political enough to give the studio what they want yet put up a fight to maintain that integrity. So we're not watching some science fiction [frick]ing wham bam thank you ma'am Marvel piece of crap.


This guy seems VERY bitter about his experiences with this studio. Clearly he doesn't care what anyone thinks of this but he really should learn a lesson from his last little hiatus from Hollywood. I still think the man is a great talent and will obviously not let this put me off seeing his movies, but yeah, time to move on Mickey. Anyway whether you agree with him or not Rourke is very interesting in the full interview so be sure to click the link below to check it out.

Mickey is a great actor imo. Sucks that he probably won't do a Marvel movie any more. Oh well I think his character died anyways.

The Immortals looks way too much like 300 especially the overused slow motion. I bet it will be good though and Henry Cavill looks like he will be awesome.

My only problem with Iron Man 2 was the last fight being rushed and the Avengers tie ins being too forced instead of letting it be its own flick. For example, the Cap shield would have been a great subtle nod without Coulson going "Do you know what this is?" Yes, Coulson. We know what that is.

Haha I think Rourke has been reading this website and loves getting up the nose of Marvel fans (of which I'm one, but I do believe we are all entitled to our opinion and we need people like Mickey to inject a bit more color into things).

What is he trying to accomplish.Does he think people will
stop watching Marvel movies because he cries about them.
I don't mind Mickey Rourke and I'm going to watch
Immortals,but shut up about Marvel studios we get it already.

I think anyone can agree that Iron Man 2 wasn't perfect. It just seems ugly of someone to go around calling it a "piece of crap" and insulting the studio and the people who worked hard on it. Downey Jr. even said certain aspects didn't live up to his expectations, but he wasn't being a jerk about it. Hell even Clooney has said Batman & Robin "wasn't that good" and that's cause he's probably being respectful to the people who worked on that movie. Mickey's comments just show me that he doesn't mind spitting in the face of the people who give him work.

He's a great actor but he really does need to shut up right now. And 'Immortals' isn't crap? Its currently at 33% on Rotten Tomatoes... 'Iron Man 2' is at 74%...who's kidding who Rourke?

Obviously Mickey Rourke got screwed over by Marvel. I love Marvel as much as the next guy but all the fan boys seem to forget that Marvel, like any other studio, is a business. Rourke isnt the only person Marvel screwed over, i'm sure. Almost everyone here thinks that Marvel studios is a "godsend". So, I'm sure Mickey can care less about Marvel studios, seeing as he's still getting deals left and right. So, It looks like they screwed him over bad enough, where he cant let it go. Maybe he should form an alliance with Edward Norton :DD

Bastard, regardless of whether he has a reason to be pissed off, he is still bitter.
