USA Today has posted the first official image from “Iron Man 2,” the sequel to last year’s blockbuster.

In the image, you can clearly see four different Iron Man suits. Marks I – III look to be pictured left to right, but what is that other red-and-gold armor on the far right? Favreau mentioned on twitter that a “new on set practical suit is a marked improvement. Much lighter and less restrictive.” Could that be it or are we getting some specialty armor in the sequel?

Also released was this concept art for War Machine and I have to say… that’s just bad ass!

In addition to this real news, there is a story from the UK Daily Mail stating that “Gwyneth, who returns as Iron Man’s pretty PA Pepper Potts, filmed the sexy scene alongside Robert Downey Jr, who plays Iron Man. ‘Iron Man imagines Pepper in a dominatrix outfit,’ says a source. ‘Gwyneth had to be filmed in a very revealing black leather corset complete with a bullwhip.’

Does this have a shred of truth? I have no idea, I’m going to say possible but probably not..we’ll have to wait and see!
