According to on set reports, Robert Downey Jr. was fiddling with the controls of his Iron Man costume while waiting to film scenes featuring him and Black Widow (Johansson). Apparently, Downey has yet to fully master the controls on his costume because Downey hit the "wrong"button and hit Scarlett directly in the face.
It seems Scarlett did something out of a Looney Tunes bit, "staggering backwards, losing her balance and falling off the platform where the actors were waiting to shoot their scene."
Reportedly crew rushed to her aid and Downey was beside himself. The source told National Enquirer magazine: ‘Robert, who couldn’t help because he literally can’t move in that iron suit, was beside himself – he kept apologizing. "
Apparently Scarlett is tough as nails as she simply bounced up after a few moments and even cracked a smile.
