The money rumors keep rolling in when it comes to Iron Man 2, this time new villain star Mickey Rourke has been handed a low-ball offer from Marvel, report Variety:

Then there is comeback kid Mickey Rourke, who is poised to follow his Golden Globe-winning performance in “The Wrestler” with an offer to play the main villain in “Iron Man 2″ — but at a lowball opening offer of $250,000 from Marvel; Marvel’s tactics have already prompted Samuel L. Jackson to swear off playing Nick Fury because of a similarly low offer.

Maybe we’ll see a return of stop motion effects too?
