We’ve always liked that Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) seemed to be even more damaged than your average damaged superhero, but it’s easy to see why this alternate opening, that will be found on the upcoming “Iron Man 2” DVD/BluRay was initially scrapped.
This revised opening introduces the hero of the film post-puke, hovering over a toilet bowl. Yeah, we get it, Tony Stark is a bit of miss but director Jon Favreau wisely realized that this was a bit much. The scene continues with our nauseous hero badgering Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) for something, anything to cure his uneasy stomach. Yeah, it’s a not a very good scene as a whole, and again, no surprise they went in a different direction.
Anyhow, you can see this scene and lots more when “Iron Man 2” hits home video on September 28th. [JoBlo]
