Stop Iron Man 2 at This Timestamp to See a Barely Discernible Detail

Creators of all sorts of productions like to engage viewers and thoroughly test their perceptiveness by hiding various details right before their eyes. There is considerable satisfaction in discovering something that was specifically hidden in plain sight. A similar procedure was also adopted in Marvel's productions. We can find easter eggs, references or cross-references in their shows, so during the screening one can try finding them.

One of the hidden details we can find in a 2010 movie and while it is not a particularly significant surprise that would be talked about a lot, it remains a very nice nod that is worth knowing. This detail can be found at the very beginning of Iron Man 2, to be precise, it appears around the 4:26 mark.

The frame visible at that moment includes a newspaper clipping, which states that Iron Man has stabilized East-West relations. This follows the events that took place in the previous movie. Back then, Tony Stark put an end to the activities of the Ten Rings terrorist organization.

The newspaper itself does not arouse any suspicion, but if you stop the film at the aforementioned moment and look at it closely, you will notice the author of the article, whose name is Rob Down. This is, of course, a tribute to the actor who embodied and created the wonderful cinematic creation of Iron Man. It honors Robert Downey Jr.
