I have no idea where this photo spread came from, but it unless this is some fantastic Photoshopping, it looks like Gwyneth Paltrow may be getting some cybernetic implants from Tony Stark in "Iron Man 2" as Stark's secretary Pepper Potts.

Could this mean that "Iron Man 2" is using plot elements from the Eisner-nominated "Invincible Iron Man" stories by Matt Fraction? I hope so, since Fraction has been knocking it out of the park on that book, where Stark was recently forced to implant Pepper with life-saving technology after a near-fatal bomb explosion left her too weak for conventional surgery.

The bomb in question was detonated by Ezekiel Stane, a supervillain that plays a major role in the first arc of the comic, and happens to be the son of Obadiah Stane, the villain from the first movie -- which sounds like a very natural segueway for a sequel.

UPDATE: As one of our commenters mentioned below, this shot originally appeared in Vogue May 2008. Thanks for the heads up.
