Even though all the major players are in place, there's still a lot of mystery surrounding "Iron Man 2" -- from exactly what sort of villain Mickey Rourke is playing and how Scarlett Johansson will look in a Black Widow spy suit to the cameos we can expect from other Marvel heroes in the film. Well, the mystery is only going to deepen with the latest batch of photos to hit the 'Net.
SuperHeroHype has posted six photos from a "massive construction project at the foot of the Sepulveda Dam in L.A." that the site claims is actually a set for "Iron Man 2." According to the photos, the set is identified by a sign that reads "Rasputin" at the entrance to the construction site, visible to drivers along the 101 Ventura Freeway in San Fernando Valley.
While it's hard to tell what sort of scene the set is being built for, there does look to be rows of stadium seating on both sides of a large, central platform -- like a wrestling or boxing ring. Here's one of the photos that shows it, with the rest available at SHH:
Last we heard from the "Iron Man 2" set, Robert Downey Jr. was photographed practicing his fighting skills -- so can we expect to see Tony Stark in the ring? If so, which character is he most likely to be brawling with? The easy guess would be Rourke's mysterious villain (thus far, we only know that he'll be a "mix" of Crimson Dynamo and Whiplash), but with Sam Rockwell telling MTV News that his character, Justin Hammer, will be closer to Tony Stark's age, there's a chance the two industrialist rivals could be facing off in the squared circle, too.
Of course, there's probably a lot of people hoping that any wrestling in the film involves Gwyneth Paltrow (Pepper Potts) and Johansson settling the love triangle Downey Jr. hinted about last month.
Maybe we'll find out on Jon Favreau's Twitter feed?
