“Iron Man imagines Pepper in a dominatrix outfit,” a source tells the news outlet. “Gwyneth had to be filmed in a very revealing black leather corset complete with a bullwhip.”
If the rumor ultimately pans out and such a scene exists in the Jon Favreau-directed sequel, then supporters of a Stark-Potts consummation may have to wait for “Iron Man 3” for the real thing — but an on-screen fantasy sequence should whet the appetite significantly.
On paper, the scene seems a tad out of place. “Iron Man” received acclaim for its realistic approach and a fantasy sequence doesn’t exactly fit that same thematic bill. But with reports of Happy Hogan’s stunt-heavy scene — which is likely to involve his protectorate Tony Stark in some way — perhaps our hero befalls some sort of incident where he hallucinates the domineering Pepper.
Another possibility is that the scene takes place during an encounter with Tony and Black Widow. It was previously confirmed that Stark would be involved in a love triangle between Widow and Potts — maybe he envisions the more conservative Pepper while having an actual bed-sheet battle with the aggressive Natasha?
One thing that’s interesting about the rumored fantasy is the focus on bullwhips. Mickey Rourke is reportedly portraying a mixture of Whiplash and Crimson Dynamo, the former of which utilizes — you guessed it — whips as his weapons of choice. Would Paltrow’s scene serve as foreshadowing of Rourke’s villainous persona, or has Stark already encountered the character at this point in the film?
Do you believe the report that Paltrow will participate in a dominatrix fantasy in “Iron Man 2″ or is it just a rumor?
