uSA Today posted this first look at Mickey Rourke as Whiplash in next summer’s Iron Man 2. Check out the picture of Rourke above, where we get some idea of how the Russian villain will face off against hero Iron Man.

Director Jon Favreau says of Whiplash’s suit: “The technologies are definitely related, and that’s part of the core theme of the film,” saying Whiplash “has constructed his own version of a suit.”
