First photo of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash!

Mickey Rourke in the role of Whiplash

The folks at USA Today just debuted the very first photo of Mickey Rourke in the role of Whiplash in "Iron Man 2." Check it out just above.

Rourke is taking over the role of the main villain in the anticipated "Iron Man" sequel, which Jon Favreau is currently shooting. Robert Downey Jr. will return as the film's hero.

Whiplash has an alter ego named Ivan Vanko, who, as you see above, builds his own version of Stark's cool suit. Yeah, Rourke looks pretty nasty in this costume.

Anyway, watch out for "Iron Man 2" in theaters May 7, 2010. Rourke recently starred in "The Wrestler." He's got "The Expendables" and "13" coming up soon.
