Potential spoilers surrounding the production of Iron Man 3 should come as no surprise, especially with nearly a month of filming completed. And as it progresses, anonymous tipsters have shared with us details for an action scene that'll be shot this week, along with a scene already shot hinting at the inevitable "romance" in the movie.
One tipster says that the production crew of Iron Man 3 have built- recreated the famous Grauman's Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard over at the National Gypsum in Wilmington, North Carolina, where the bulk of filming takes place. The tispster goes on to say the scenes will involve combat of some sorts, with the extras in the scene being tourists; some costumed as "injured tourists". This night shoot will undergo Thursday & Friday.
A permit for this very shoot was issued to Wilmington last week, where it states that three actors will be present, along with 91 extras. Adding legitimacy to the tipster's claim, the permit also vaguely declared that the shoot will include "exterior building scenes involving special effects and stunts."

In regards to the potential 'love triangle,' or rectangle even, another tipster offers that Pepper Potts actress Gwyneth Paltrow recently shot a rather romantic scene with villain Aldrich Killian actor Guy Pearce. As showcased in
The Avengers, Tony Stark and Pepper are in a "committed" relationship. So, will things getting rocky between them be considered a subplot to the anticipated threequel? Let's not forgot that
The Town actress Rebecca Hall is playing a "sexy scientist," likely Maya Hansen in the film. A love rectangle perhaps?
