Gwyneth Paltrow Filming A Risque Scene As Dominatrix In Iron Man 2?

Sex and seduction are all part of the game for espionage agent Natasha Romanoff played by
Scarlett Johansson in
Iron Man 2 but those words dont fall quite as comfortably on the lips of Tony Starks assistant, Pepper Potts.
Still, thats not stopping
Gwyneth Paltrows character from matching the sultry persona of Johanssons Black Widow. According to a rumor from
The Daily Mail, Paltrow has been getting in shape for a risque scene alongside leading man
Robert Downey Jr..
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 doesnt exactly fit that same thematic bill. But with reports of
Happy Hogans 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 thats 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 Paltrows scene serve as foreshadowing of Rourkes villainous persona, or has Stark already encountered the character at this point in the film?
