20 Things You Didn’t Know About Iron Man 2
15. Robert Downey Jr. Insisted On Racing A Blue & White Car At Monaco
One of Iron Man 2's goofier sequences sees Iron Man attacked by Whiplash while competing in the Historic Grand Prix of Monaco. Stark's car is memorably a mix of blue and white, but that wasn't actually the original plan.
Understandably, Tony Stark was supposed to be driving a red, Iron Man-styled car around the track, but it was Robert Downey Jr. himself who insisted that he get to race the blue and white one instead.
Whether Downey Jr. thought the colour scheme was a bit on the nose or just wanted to try something different, the world was ultimately deprived of seeing what an Iron Man-branded racecar looks like. Boo.
