Iron Man II filmed this week at LA landmark Randy’s Donuts in Inglewood. It was the first scene between Nick Fury and Tony Stark, though by reading almost all the reports on the subject, Samuel L Jackson (Fury) and Robert Downy Jr (Stark) weren’t really on location at the same time.

That being said, they sat Downey in his Iron Man costume in the donut hole, then flipped the setup and had black-trenchcoat-clad Nick Fury get out of a car and yell up at him.

Vic at Screenrant made these here observations:

“The gauntlets are much beefier on top of his hands, there are some gold highlights in the rib cage area and the chest piece looks redesigned as well. Looks like the tricep area is beefed up along with the shoulders, too, giving the impression (to me, anyway) of a more powerful armor.”

I’ve been trying to compare this suit to the blurry ones in the background of the previous Iron Man II photo, but I’m still undecided as to if we’re seeing the original Iron Man armor here or the new, sleeker version. Like Vic says, this suit looks a little more bulk, where the two red and gold suits in the background of photo one seem to be getting progressively smaller.

And what’s up with that shit on his hands? Boo-urns.

Not that this has any bearing on the movie whatsoever, nor really tells us anything about the red lycra parts of Downey’s costume with black and white references for CG later.

It’s too early to tell, but I’m guessing - if photos like this are already making the rounds - that we’ll see an official look at the Iron Man costume soon.
