Arms And Hammer

Chatting with Dark Horizons about Friday's "Everybody's Fine", actor Sam Rockwell discussed his role as Justin Hammer in Jon Favreau's upcoming superhero sequel "Iron Man 2".



"I’m a rival to Tony Stark. (Robert Downey Jr.) I’m a weapons dealer" says Rockwell who doesn't label Hammer as a secondary villain-although potential is there for that to happen down the road-"He’s kind of more of the plucky comic relief, but he’s got a little bit of an edge. He’s a little pissed off... [actually] he's little more [like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's rival]Antonio Salieri than he is the plucky comic relief. Mickey Rourke is really the bad guy."

Adding: I’m more of a cross between the agent character in Entourage and Salieri and maybe Bill Murray in Kingpin."
