Mickey Rourke prefers ‘Law & Order’ over ‘that crap’ in Marvel movies

Ten years later, Mickey Rourke’s grudge against Marvel movies roils on.

In an unprompted appraisal of the legendary procedural franchise “Law & Order,” Rourke commended the “meticulous” and “amazing” work by “Special Victims Unit” actors — specifically the cast members who starred in seasons that first aired a decade or more ago. And it appears the 68-year-old actor’s assessment came to him after having never heard of the series until the current season, its 22nd. “Mariska Hargitay … is a very concentrated actress,” Rourke wrote on Instagram Sunday, with many interesting spelling and punctuation choices. “She is absolutely great in every episode. Her dedication and very meticulous work put her on another level. There’s very few … actresses in films these days that can hold her jock strap. I give her tremendous respect for her amazing ability.”
