Via Comics Alliance comes a leaked, alternate opening to Iron Man 2. At least one of the trailers for the film used a line from this scene, meaning the filmmakers were definitely planning on using it at some point, then changed their minds.

I can’t remember how the theatrical cut actually opened—I think it was with a montage of Mickey Rourke grumbling at his pet bird and glaring at newspaper clippings of Tony Stark while he made his lightsaber whip things?—but I will say this: the version in theaters definitely did not open with a shot of Robert Downey Jr.’s head submerged in a toilet. Which is too bad, ’cause I totally would’ve bought that action figure.

With honor and distinction, Erik Henriksen served as the executive editor of the Portland Mercury from 2004 to 2020. He can now be found at henriksenactual.com.
