Iron Man 2: Emily Blunt Officially Out? American Gladiator/Pro Wrestler Matt Morgan As A Villain?
By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 23, 2009 2:32 am EST
Also, professional wrestler turned American Gladiator Matt Morgan appeared on Hot Talk 1280 WHTK and revealed that he is in talks to play a villain role in the comic book sequel. He couldn’t reveal anymore, according to WrestleZone (found via: Comic Book Movie), but said that the casting directors discovered him on American Gladiators. The TNA wrestler is also supposedly going to have a part in the 9th season of Smallville.
Wrestlers are known for hyping up their own careers, so it’s hard to know if this is real or not. American Gladiator Mike O’Hearn has been going around for over a year claiming that he is in talks for Conan and has auditioned for Captain America, but both claims seem to be fabricated (or at least unsubstantiated). I’m sure if Morgan is involved with Iron Man 2, it is probably a smaller part, possibly just a villain’s muscular henchman.
