Jon Favreau com­mented on the loca­tion in his tweets — here is a lit­tle con­fir­ma­tion from the base that Iron Man 2 filmed here, along with some pictures:

Scenes from the upcom­ing movie Iron­man II were filmed here May 11 through 13, with the sup­port of about 60 mem­bers of Team Edwards tak­ing part as extras and tech­ni­cal advisors.

The direc­tor, Jon Favreau said he was excited to return to Edwards for the sequel for the land­scape, but not for the way it looks but for the his­tory it pos­sesses and the pro­fes­sional Air­men and Marines here.

“All these real mil­i­tary assets make the movie more authen­tic and the topog­ra­phy and the beauty of the Desert and flight­line open the movie up,” he said. “But it’s the rich his­tory of the loca­tion and the deep roots it has with flight that gives Tony Stark and his father a pedi­gree in the aero­space industry.”

Com­ing Soon were sent some pic­tures of a con­struc­tion site bear­ing the ‘Rasputin’ work­ing title at the entrance. It all looks very big. You can find this at the foot of the Sepul­veda Dam in L.A.

Latino Review have received some con­cept art in the post claim­ing to be Mickey Rourke’s Whiplash in Iron Man 2. The style of the image is inline with con­cept designs, the Rourke-ness and details are non-distinct, some­thing a faker prob­a­bly wouldn’t do. We’ll have to wait and see if it’s the real deal or not.

Lat­est updates include:

Leav­ing Edwards Air Force Base. Head­ing back to LA to fin­ish out the week. My awe­some crew worked their butts off. We got some great stuff.

Dusk in the high desert. The wind is blow­ing hard.

A french arti­cle from Maprin­ci­paute has revealed that Iron Man 2 will be film­ing a large func­tion room scene, a scene at the docks and a scene at the Casino. Iron Man 2 will be com­prised of three major actions scenes, one of these shall include footage of Monaco. The trans­la­tion via Google:

A large func­tion room scene

A total of one hun­dred peo­ple are on the deck of the top secret shoot. The cam­eras will arise this morn­ing between 6 am and 7 pm on the Boule­vard Albert 1er. Then, fol­low­ing the Grand Prix cir­cuit on Sat­ur­day 16 May, the shoot­ing will con­tinue Boule­vard Louis II (between 6 am and 8 pm), dock of the United States between 8 am and noon then quai Albert-1er between 12h and 13h30.

But the peak of the shoot will be May 25, place du Casino, between 6 hours and 17 hours. A long sequence will be filmed with the par­tic­i­pa­tion of many extras. “There are three major action scenes in this movie, and one of them will be com­posed of footage in the Prin­ci­pal­ity” says pro­duc­tion. Only cer­tainty, the film was released on screens in April 2010 and expects pro­duc­tion even offer a sneak pre­view in the Principality!

On Loca­tion News have posted a selec­tion of overly water­marked ‘for sale’ paparazzi images from the lat­est Randy’s Donuts shoot. Due to the com­mer­cial nature of the images I can­not include them here, but I can give you guys the link and a screen­shot of the thumb­nails. This is our first look at Nick Fury in Iron Man 2, with the famil­iar eye patch and trench coat. There are also many more shots of Robert Downey Jr. in the Iron Man suit, one includes the hel­met being passed to him.

MAY 6th LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA **EXCLUSIVE** Robert Downey Jr. film­ing Iron Man 2. In this funny scene, Iron Man takes a dough­nut break in the hole of a giant dough­nut shop sign which is an LA land­mark. Samuel L. Jack­son as Nick Fury is below and ask Iron Man if he would like some cof­fee with his doughnuts.

The set reports and pic­tures are start­ing to come in from Randy’s Donuts. From the scene, James told Col­lider on the phone:

My friend – let’s call him James — said that film­ing at the loca­tion lasted between 45 min­utes to an hour and there were tons of pro­duc­tion assis­tants and pro­duc­tion peo­ple around the set. That’s the rea­son why we don’t have a new pic­ture for this article…he never felt like he could take out his cam­era and get the shot.

Any­how, James said that he saw a stand in for Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark) on set and that he watched Nick Fury race up to the donut place in a blue gov­ern­ment car and he got out and walked to his right to get a bet­ter view of where Iron Man would be. The cam­era was on a crane. James said it appeared that Iron Man was going to be in the donut hole on the roof and that Nick Fury was yelling at him, but he couldn’t hear what he was saying.

He also reported that Sam Jack­son was in the same cos­tume as the end of the first film – a long black trench coat.

Iron Man sit­ting in the big donut? Here’s some con­fir­ma­tion via Peo​ple​.com:

As per our report, Iron Man 2 filmed at Randy’s Donuts yes­ter­day, our only pic­ture so far comes from Jon Favreau him­self. We also know that both Scar­lett Johans­son and Samuel L. Jack­son were on set.
