His agent would be taking calls from producers that have more to offer than a role in a Superhero film. 250.000 is laughable right now. Rourke's getting higher offers with all the awards he's winning. If he wins the Oscar it will be like winning the Superbowl for him. He gets another ring and a big raise in his stock. Remember, Its all about the gig.... Sure it would be cool for him to be in Iron Man, but he doesn't care. He could stand to loose multi-millions by taking the time to work on Iron Man for the thrill of it. He's older now and really doubt that a superhero film villain would be a challenge for him, or worth his time for 250.000. How much do you think RDJ is getting for Iron Man 2??? A few million? Ha! He's getting over 15 mil+ back end points. Hell make over 30+ mil on Iron Man2. ^ How retarded would Marvel have to be to with another cameo character at the end credits. Yeah that worked out for great for Jackson, echm'eh' another actor that wasn't happy with the chump change... My advice to Marvel, not all your characters have to be A-List stars...

Rourke is shooting the Expendables and Marvel probably wanted to start shooting right away and he couldn't do it. It must be a scheduling conflict.

As mentioned before, the role might have been little more than a walk on, with potential for a larger part in IM3. It would be hard to consider $250,000 for 2 or 3 days work lowball.

Part of that goes to the agent. After the agent takes his cut, $250,000 disappears fairly quickly. I'm all for salary caps on actors because some paydays are just ridiculous, but $250,000 IS a lowball. An actor’s salary does not completely go to him. Part of that goes to the agent.

I really don't understand this love fest that so many seem to be having with the guy. Thruthfully, he kind of creeps me out and he also seem like a jerk.

That's 250,000 dollars for most likely around two weeks of work. I'd kill to get paid a quarter mil in that much time. He better not have dropped out because of money, because that guy has been a washout for a while now and Hollywood is finally giving him another chance. Not the best idea to suddenly get a big head about all of this. What a jerk…. That’s 250,000 dollars for most likely around two weeks of work. I’d kill to get paid a quarter mil in that much time.
