Downey Jr. has revived the superhero for an upcoming sequel, which will see his character pitched against villainous Whiplash, played by Rourke and he was fascinated by his co-star’s unusual acting technique, because Rourke used photographs of his beloved Chihuahuas to help him portray tearful moments, reports dailyexpress.co.uk.
