Sam Rockwell Talks ‘Iron Man 2′
By Landfill | September 27, 2009
If it seems we’re bringing tons of Iron Man 2 updates, we are. I’m not sure why but these past few weeks have been Iron Man related. Today we’re bringing a few quotes from Sam Rockwell who plays Justin Hammer in the upcoming CBM.
Rockwell was at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas promoting his new film Gentlemen Broncos and IGN stopped him to ask a few questions about the upcoming CBM and how he felt working with the cast.
“It was great… it was a good time, a lot of fun, It’s like the all-stars; like the globe-trotters or something. You know, Don Cheadle, Mickey Rourke, Gwyneth [Paltrow], Scarlett [Johansson] and Robert Downey Jr. And Sam Jackson’s there too. It does feel like you’re passing the ball with Michael Jordan and then onto Larry Bird.”
It’s a bigger scope. There’s a lot more action and fighting. More characters,” Rockwell explained of the differences this time around. “It’s bigger and there’s a lot more to get your head around, so it’s a tougher job for Jon Favreau and Justin Theroux, who wrote it.”
When asked about his villainous character Justin Hammer,”He’s a rival of Tony’s – they are competitors in the weapons industry. I team up with Michey Rourke and we decide we want to take him down and take down the Stark legacy. He’s sort of like a cousin of the Charlie’s Angels character I played. The smarmy cousin. But it’s Mickey – he does the fighting and the kicking ass in the film.”
When asked if he would ever take the lead in a superhero movie, he said, “I would love to do something like that. It would have to be a pretty strange superhero. I would love to do that with someone like Duncan [Jones, who directed Rockwell in Moon]. Duncan and I could create something really cool. I would love to create a character like Indiana Jones or something like that.
Sounds like Rockwell is pumped about Iron Man 2, let’s hope we get a trailer sometime soon since it’s release date is about 7 months away.
