Comments on: Marvel trying to get Mickey Rourke with a mere $250,000 http://filmonic.com/marvel-mickey-rourke-mere-250000 Molesting Your Film Shaft!

But hopefully, he can get a percentage of gross sales on the back end. I know he hasn't made a lot of money in the past few years, but I think $250K is disrespectful especially if he wins an Oscar.

He's not A list again, but he could maybe get a B level salary. And just pay Sam Jackson already! I think they'd have a hard time selling a change in Fury, unless they found someone who looks like Jackson. I can't imagine they would want to try to change back to the classic Nick Fury. What happened? Did he dye his skin? It would be ridiculous Iron Man made more than enough money to pay Rourke more. He's not A list again, but he could maybe get a B level salary.

In 2000, Marvel launched their Ultimate universe. Ultimate Nick Fury is a dead ringer for Samuel Jackson. Classic Nick Fury would be played by Kurt Russel.

Kurt Russel or someone like that. Wouldn't that be like making Kingpin a black guy? Oh wait they did that too. Whose Rourke suppose to be playing anyway, the Black Panther? And apparently Stan Lee is cheap bastard of sorts 'cause a quarter mil is i kind of just a slap in the face. I can't vouch for the Wrestler but Rourke was great as Marv.

Rourke should take it, it is low for the work but i mean if he does good he can get back in the movie league & possibly press other people who look to hire him for more $$. it all has pay offs, i'd take it XD well also how big would his part be?

But still, this does seem a bit low.. maybe because he did The Wrestler for fee, they think this offer wouldnt be that bad to him.. But still, this does seem a bit low..
