Heads up, Queens: Iron Man is coming your way! The blockbuster's sequel starring Robert Downey, Jr. is due out this May, and currently has a regular website set up along with a promo site for something called Stark Expo. Yes, it's all part of a well-oiled marketing machine, but the latter features Flushing Meadows Corona Park as the venue for the fictional event. It's just too bad the Hollywood fat cats didn't rejuvenate the now-decrepit World's Fair site for real.
Sadly, according to Courier-Life, the Parks Department says that while "producers scouted the park and filmed some footage of the area for the film last year... principal photography with the actors was not done at Flushing Meadows," and the park was just recreated digitally.
