New Stark Image Revealing

The latest image from "Iron Man 2" that was featured in my last post concerning EW's sneak peek at Comic Con for 2009 is revealing to Stark and Vanko's first battle. This new image shows Tony Stark wearing a racing suit obviously filmed during a scene that Jon Favreau described as being set at the Monaco Historic Grand Prix. The last time we heard about the Monaco Grand Prix, Favreau told us that it would be the first encounter between Stark and Ivan Vanko. Read a break down of what we can learn from all of the previously released images and how they tie into the Monaco race sequence below...

I know from a trusted insider, that Stark has one of his many cars entered into the Monaco Grand Prix (pictured above), he however decides, that he will also be driving the car. The first studio revealed image of Stark working in his lab also points to the Moanco sequence. If you look closely at the computer screen Stark is working on, you can clearly see the Monaco Grand Prix raceway map. During the actual race at Monaco, Ivan Vanko reveals himself and his deadly energy-charged whips (hence the USA Today photo revealed back in June). Stark and Vanko ensue in a battle, one which I can also tell you, that Tony Stark will also reveal a whole new armor during this battle. I cannot give you the details of the suit, but I can say that we will not be disappointed in the Monaco Grand Prix sequence. More news on "Iron Man 2" as it develops...

What say you? Are you amped for Iron Man 2? Will you be attending the panel Saturday at Comic Con? If you look closely at the image of Vanko, you can see a Monaco worker wearing the same orange jumpsuit Ivan is wearing. Strikeback...
