Someone should probably explain spoiler alerts to Mickey Rourke. Comic Book Movie uncovered an interview with him in the May 2010 issue of Total Film, where he seems to reveal the ending of Iron Man 2 or, if not the ending of the film then the ending for his character Whiplash.

Here’s what Rourke revealed. Warning: This could be a huge spoiler so don’t read any further if you don’t want to know.

Well, the only thing I can tell you is that they had decided to kill me and we did film it with Gwyneth Paltrow. And then they came to New Mexico and re-shot it and now it’s left up in the air…

So could be a spoiler… or maybe not. It sounds like even Rourke isn’t entirely sure what Whiplash’s ultimate fate is. Is he killed by Pepper Pots? Shouldn’t his death scene involve Robert Downey Jr.? We’ll find out May 7th.
