So there you have it folks. Instead of scrutinizing a bunch of photos, Favs was kind enough to show the way.
I really dont think there is an ARG in play here. I mean, TDK had a huge one with multiple sites, events, etc. Here we have a few pictures of the movie surface and those are supposed to give us something? Meh...

 

[Keyser Soze]

I wonder if the "clue" Favs will be giving us will be another vague newspaper clipping like the one above, where we have to put the two together to try and decode some kind of pattern, or if it will be something more overt....

 

[Jostru]

They have already denied Mandarin. With the Russian appearing on these hints, I think it could be Titanium Man later on in the movie.

Yes, but maybe he'll be like an after credits scene or like in the first movie, there could be a reference or 2 towards him, making clear that he's out there somewhere.

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

If so, it would have been nice for Paramount and SHH to tell us that, so we wouldn't be scrambling around with part 1.

Either way, in 90 minutes, I intend to find out what this "clue" business is all about.

yeah. I´ll have an eye on http://screenrant.com/iron-man-2-viral-marketing-vic-37420/ too

 

[WindsofHorus]

I don't think that this has anything to do with titanium man or crimson dynamo. And that picture before is definately the mark 1. I think we're gonna have to see about what favreau posted

 

[I Am The Bat]

I'm going to be in class.... DAMN YOU LAST FINAL DAY!!!!!!!

[zbhbatman]

So all we have is two very vague clues with no direction in how to solve them. is it a website? is it something else? this viral kinda sucks so far

Secret stark? N.u.d.e.?

It is definitely difficult to draw any conclusions from the little we have. My hope is that there are more "clues" that will be released. My guess is we will see several clippings with different highlighted words that reveal the message. I might be wrong, but that's the only thing I can guess with the info we have so far. Not much interaction, just, "Hey, here are some images with highlighted words, get pumped!" Lame as far as supposed viral clues go, but who knows, it may take off into something awesome.

"In a move which caused shockwaves in markets around the world, Tony Stark declared that Stark Industries [referred to as Stark Enterprises in the last article] will be getting out of the weapons business. The announcement came hours after the CEP was rescued from terrorists who had been holding him hostage in an undisclosed location in the Middle East.

Markets from Tokyo to London reeled from the the news on Tuesday, which investors stampeding to dump Stark shares. Indexes fell 4% on average.

What is that picture of?

 

[Robbie]

What is that picture of?

I was wondering the same thing. Looks like it could be someone in Greek garb, especially given the background. At the very least I get the impression it's someone running/working out. Hard to tell with the burn hole...

 

[Dr Lee]

reminds me of the large Green screen set.....

 

[Hotwire]

I've decoded the secret message!!! God, it was so easy! I'm surprised no one else got it.

So we just wait for more pics, and the pieces we are supposed to put together are the highlighted words? meh...
